Features: The small book presented to the readers is the footprint of the author's ten years of day and night of hard work. This series of "Research Series on Chinese Language and Characters of Southwest Normal University" will be published successively. I am fortunate to witness the publication of these achievements. As one of the earliest Chinese language teachers and a veteran in the research team of Chinese language, I am overjoyed beyond words. These authors are either lifelong friends with whom I often discuss academic issues, or my students. Some of them engage in vocabulary research, some in grammar research, some in Sichuan dialect studies, and some in comparing the differences between oracle bone and bronze inscriptions and Naxi Dongba scripts. Everyone explores Chinese language and characters from different perspectives. The works included in this series have either received academic awards from Wang Li, or have been highly evaluated by experts, or are the results of authors' ten years of research on a specific topic. These explorations have, to some extent, promoted the study of Chinese language and characters. From a macro perspective, with the increasing national strength and rising international status of China, a global trend of scholars learning Chinese and understanding China is emerging. Therefore, the research team of Chinese language and characters is gradually expanding, and this field also requires more in-depth and popularization. The authors hope that this series of books can play a tiny role in the great cause of China's integration into the world and the world's understanding of China.
