There has been almost a whole century before research on the Bi-constituent Sentences began. Being a complicated Chinese sentence structure, as well as traditional academic focus, the Bi-constituent Sentences address various divergences amongst scholars, especially in their current theses. Relevant literature in the sphere of Ancient Chinese research, however, is still inadequate, and most current works prove faulty either in depth or width. Consequently, a study on the Bi-constituent Sentences for Chao Ye Qian Zai does good to the research on both the content of Chao Ye Qian Zai and its Chinese grammar.The Chinese character "You" and its Bi-constituent Sentences which exist for thousands of years, have been widely used from the Yin or Zhou Dynasty to the modern world. It consists of two appearances, respectively means "possessing" and "existing". The author finds out119cases of the former in the work Chao Ye Qian Zai while7of the latter. As for the word "You" and its Bi-constituent Sentences, there are126cases, accounting for of44%of the total number of the language style (290cases in all). It is not only much higher than the number of the literature in ancient times, but also the Middle Age’s. From the perspective of N2, their constitutions are relatively complicated, and from V2, the result is the same.Besides, Bi-constituent Sentences of the Chinese characters like "Ming","Shi","Qian","Ling" are other such common forms used regularly since the Mid-Ancient times. They are widely adopted in the work Chao Ye Qian Zai as well. The statistics show that there are about115cases of them, accounting for39%of the total number (290), much less than that in the work Zhan Guo Ce. Comparatively speaking, the Bi-constituent Sentence of "Ling" has been used for the most times, up to61, then is the word "Qian", about20, then "Ming",9, and the last one "Shi", only5. Compared with ancient times, there has been a sharply decreasing in the frequency of the application for the Bi-constituent Sentence of the word "Shi" in Chao Ye Qian Zai. While the proportion of "Qian" and "Ling" is significantly improved. It shows that the nexus between increasing and decreasing showing appears a negative correlation.In Chao Ye Qian Zai, there are other common forms of Bi-constituent Sentences. Some of them mean "to command", consisting by Chinese verbs "Chai","Chi""Fang","Zhao","Qu","Hu", and "Zong". Some mean "to invite", by "Quan" and "Liu". Some mean "to designate", consisted by "Li","Bai", and "Yi". Some mean "appellation", by "Wei","Gai","Mu","Yi"."Hu","Zi". Some mean "to accompany", by "Song" and "Ying". Some mean "ren you", by "Xu", Some mean "hand over and take over ", by "Chi". Besides, special forms such as the "concatenation" type and the "embedment" type are also adopted in this work. The number of the above mentioned Bi-constituent Sentences reaches as many as56, accounts for19%of the total number of language style (290).With research on the Bi-constituent Sentences in Chao Ye Qian Zai, the exact situation for its application in Tang Dynasty, even as well as the orbit for the evolution of this grammar in Chinese history, becomes more clear.
