Abstract: At the beginning of 1950s Yufa Jianghua(Talks About Grammar) in Zhongguo Yuwen(Chinese Language and Literature) commented that there would be no end for talking about the verb and object relation. Later on there started a discussion about the logic of such expressions as “to clean hygiene”(for “to clean for hygiene”), “to restore fatigue”(for “to restore from fatigue”), etc. That reflects the insufficiency of the verb-and -object-relation knowledge. Theresearch work on ancient Chinese grammar has made encouraging progress in this respect. Many a trouble-causing verb and object relation has everything to do with the special understanding of the relation in ancient Chinese and a lot of puzzles can be solved through systematic classification and contrastive analysis.

Key words: ancientChinese, modernChinese, verbandobjectrelation
