In Chinese language, some adverbs of degree and some other measure words as "(yi)xie", "(yi)dian", "you(yi)xie", "you(yi)dian" all can be used denote the degree. Sometimes they appear in one sentence, which we called it a coexistence structure. This paper mainly discusses with when and how they can appears in one sentence, also the meaning of these kinds of coexistence structures.First, the author found all the thirty adverbs of degree that may appear together with "(yi)xie", "(yi)dian", "you(yi)xie", "you(yi)dian" in one sentence. Then the author did a detailed description on grammar and semantic meaning of these coexistence structures in the second and the third chapter. In the fourth chapter, the author tried to prove that "(yi)xie", "(yi)dian", "you(yi)xie", "you(yi)dian" have a basic semantic meaning to denote "having a definite quantity" or "reaching a definite degree" and when they appear together with the adverbs of degree in a sentence , the meaning of degree is denote by the adverbs. Furthermore, "(yi)xie", "(yi)dian", "you(yi)xie", "you(yi)dian" sometimes can used to express a mild tone.
