The book was probab1y finished at the beginning of the QingDynasty. At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, modern Chinese transmittedtowards contemporary Chinese. The book ref1ect s the changing anddeve 1oping condit ions of 1anguage dur ing thi s' period. In addit ion, itis fu11 of 1oca1 co1or. Therefore, it is extreme1y va1uab1e for ourresearch, especia11y in the study of the history of Chinese. But thestudie s in IjDg Asi y1D he,z InuaD are on1y 1imited to 1 it erary, textua1cr it icism of the author and it s written time. Language studyies,especia11y grammar studyies st i11 need to be strengthened. Moreover,in 1ight of Chinese research, study on adverbs is sti11 a vu1nerab1espot. So I choo se ha ssi y1D yUan Inaan to conjure up grammars thIoughstudying its adverbs.3. 0vera11, there are more than tbeee hundred adverbs i-n nny b31ylD yUap InasD. Here I have consu1ted the c1assification from somereference books and c1assified the adverbs into five tyDes dependingon grammatica1 significance, name1y, the adverbs of t ime, scope,extent, mood, manner. This c 1ass if icat ion i s different withtradit iona1 method in the way which 't negat ive adverb )) is c 1assifiedinto mood adverb, and para11e1 with "posit ive adverb )) anda interrogat ive adverb". Stat i st i ca11y works on the usage freQuencyof the adverbs, and shows them in a tab1e. Based on such work aconc 1usion is made on the charact eri st ic s of adverb systems in the book:the adverb system consi sts of three 1eve1 s, inc1uding ancient, Inoderna11d contempory which takes obvious 1oca1 co1or. 1n addition, thi s2thesis a1so works on the 1exica1 features with respect to 1exica1 formand word -- bui1ding of the book.Due to the restriction of 1ength of the thesis, I 1imited myse1fjust to the discussion of 27 groups adverbs that are on1y part ofadverbs in the who1e book. I main1y work on the usage and grammat ica1meaning of those adverbs. 1n the process of discussion, adverbs withsimi 1ar or same grammat ica1 meaning are compared. When dea1ing withthe variety and deve1opment of adverbs, compar isons are made betweenadverb s in the book and those in contempory Chinese, at the same timecomparisons inodern Shandong dia1ect is a1so discussed.4. 0n the basis of descript ions and ana1ysis of the adverbs in nnyShi y1D yUaD Inuan, the thesis makes two conc1usions: first1y, theadverbs in fug As j yiD yimB InaaD is fu11 of 1oca1 co1or, the usageand meaning of thoseadverbs are comp1ex. Second1y, the adverb systemof the book ref1ect s the two aspect s of modern Chinese deve1opn1ent:same grammatica1 meaning is expressed by differeot ddverbsand sameadverb expresses different grammat ica1 meanings.
