课程摘要
固然...但是... concedes that A is true, then shifts to a more important contrast. It sounds formal and argumentative.
Use 固然 when you acknowledge a reasonable point before presenting a limitation, concern, or stronger view. It is more formal than 虽然 and often appears in analysis. Do not use 所以 after 固然, because the relation is contrast, not cause-result.
