| Chinese classifier appeared in the pre-Qin dynasty which is an important, unavoidable time for the history of classifier in the pre-Qin dynasty. Scholars have studied classifier of pre-Qin dynasty , but very few results, at present, only several papers. These papers on classifier describe them statically, and are lack of systematic.We have investigate the classifier entirely in twelve representative ancient books handed down from Pre-Qin dynasty. And Describe the classifier of the pre-Qin period with numbers, terminology, adjective, location term portfolio. Summed up ten organizational structures, such as "number+classifier" "noun+number+classifier" "number+classifier+ zhi+noun" "number+classifier+noun" "classifier+noun" "classifier+c lassifier" "classifier+classifier+zhi+noun" "adjective+number+class ifier" "number+classifier+zhi+adjective" "number+classifier+zhi+loc ation term portfolio" . This classifier in the introduction to understand the structure of the distribution of a portfolio of ten huge difference. We have divided the classifier into two categories according to the differences in distribution and integration exercises . One is the natural classifier, one category is artificial classifier. Natural classifier including individual and collective classifier; Including artificial classifier, length classifier, weight classifier ,size classifier, the volume classifier.Finally, the following conclusions are drawn: the function of grammar and combination have been basic in place in the pre-Qin periodthe measure word has already emerged, the development of the measure word is uneven in the pre-Qin dynasty. |
