Features: This book, "Ancient Chinese Grammar," is the first edition that incorporates the 17 years of teaching experience in Chinese language by the late Mr. Xu. It was published in 1988 and immediately garnered widespread attention from academic circles and readers both domestically and internationally. In China, it was designated as a required reading for liberal arts majors in teacher training universities, and it has been translated into multiple languages such as Japanese and Korean.
The main achievements of the author in the study of ancient Chinese grammar can be summarized in the following aspects:
1. In the study of parts of speech, a new definition of a word was established.
2. In the study of phrases, a new definition of a phrase was established.
3. In the study of functional shifts of parts of speech, the scope of functional shifts was expanded.
4. In the study of sentences, the transfer rules of various sentence structures in ancient Chinese were explored.
This book is an attempt and practical application of the "Teaching Grammar System of Ancient Chinese" proposed by the author. The entire book is divided into three parts: Part 1 "Parts of Speech," Part 2 "Phrases," and Part 3 "Sentences." Among them, the "Phrases" section is divided into three chapters: "Combinations of Real Words," "Combinations of Real Words and Function Words," and "Frozen Phrases," thereby supporting the author's of establishing a "Parts of Speech #8226; Phrases #8226; Sentences" centered system.
Establishing a teaching grammar system for ancient Chinese is an arduous systematic project far beyond the author's academic ability and intellect to complete in one go. However, the author is willing to be a "crab-eater" in this field, following the path of those who came before.
