Features: The semantic structure is the key to language comprehension. It is omnipresent, like the faint threads of meridians intertwined. Exploring, studying, and applying it will open up a promising path for Chinese research and teaching. The main content of this book is to analyze the semantic structure patterns of various sentence types in modern Chinese from multiple perspectives through case studies and descriptions. It first lists the part-of-speech sequence of the sentences in each category and indicates the semantic roles of nouns within the format. Several examples are provided, followed by separate analyses of the semantic features of verbs and nouns in the format, along with additional examples. Finally, it identifies and analyzes potential ambiguities. This will be of certain reference value for teaching Chinese to foreigners and for the study of Chinese linguistics.
