There are differences and similarities between "dangran" and "ziran", which have not been studied completely and systematically in Chinese grammar.This paper discusses their syntactic function firstly , and the differences and similarities in details in semantic, pragmatic and syntactic dimensions secondly.We argue that the semantic difference between "dangran" and "ziran" is that "dangran" stresses the affirmative function to actions which cause the results, while "ziran" express the result that can be obtained easily and naturally. And the difference on semantic dimensions leads to the difference on pragmatic and syntactic dimensions.
