Features: Professor Fang Yuqing has been engaged in teaching Chinese as a second language for over forty years and has accumulated extensive linguistic materials. This book was drafted in the early 1980s and was used as a lecture manuscript for multiple presentations. The revised edition consists of 20 chapters, providing a comprehensive, systematic, and detailed explanation of Chinese grammar, with particular emphasis on explaining the difficulties that foreigners encounter in learning. The arrangement of the four sections—dynamic category, quantitative category, spatiotemporal category, and tone category—was created by the author. Most of the example sentences are selected from works. At the end of the book, there are combination tables for nouns and measure words, as well as for verbs and dynamic particles, making reference and verification very convenient. Each chapter includes a substantial number of exercises. The solutions to the exercises are compiled in a separate volume.
