"Focusing on the fundamental grammatical units and construction in modern Chinese, the title is the first volume of a classic on modern Chinese grammar by Wang Li, one of the most distinguished Chinese linguists. Based on the corpus of two classic Chinese novels and being part of a four-volume set that describes the various linguistic patterns of modern Chinese grammar, this volume first distinguishes Chinese characters from words, categorizes them into different word classes and discusses the different word classes according to the number of syllables. Complex structures are then classified and elaborated, which include phrases, sentences and various grammatical constructions, such as those of optative, causative, disposal, passive, annex and retrenched.
