"VdaoX" is a common structure in modern Chinese. It is classified two types thoroughly different in nature one of which indicates the result of an act. In this dissertation it is proved that it has already been grammaticalized to a functional element.Based on classification and compared with the other type of "VdaoX" by cognition mode, semantic relations and Function of the sentence structure in synchronic dimension, it is proved that the "VdaoX" indicating the result has been grammaticalized to a functional element. Then "dao" is researched in diachronic dimension and it is discovered that the two types of "VdaoX" are grammaticalized in different way. This supports the conclusion of synchronic analysis, i.e. the "VdaoX" indicating the result has been grammaticalized to a functional element.Additionally, it is discovered that "diao", "shang", "xia", "zhe", "zhu" and "jian" etc. are the same with the "dao" in the "VdaoX" indicating the result of an act among the 73 monosyllable verbs and verb-morphemes, i.e. they has already been grammaticalized to functional elements. This research extends the range of the modern Chinese functional elements.
