Some institutions have adopted it as a translation textbook and reference book. Due to significant developments in linguistic science over the past decade, this newly revised edition has been decided upon. Chinese linguists have traditionally placed great emphasis on comparative linguistic research. Mr. Lu Shuxiang once said, "Only through comparison can we identify the common points in linguistic expressions across different languages." He also noted, "Comparing a foreign language with Chinese can help us notice phenomena that we may have overlooked." The Chinese grammar system was established and continuously refined through Chinese-foreign comparative studies.
