Antonyms of ancient Chinese book is an important aspect on researching about Chinese antonyms. it can provide important language material for the studies of Chinese antonym, it is the basic works of the studies of Chinese antonym. and at the same time, we can contribute to the building of the theory, if we study deeply on Antonyms of ancient Chinese book. "Zhou Yi" sets forth it's views and recounts on the basis of unity and opposites of Yin and Yang , so it applied the opposing relation very frequently and consciously. This paper attempts to place in the justice statistics summarized on the basis of the text format defined by law, justice-seeking Context analysis and interpretative methods exhaustive summary of the antonyms of Monosyllabic Content Words with analysis. Though contrastively studying between the bible and biography of "Zhou Yi" , I analyzed the change of the Antonyms. With research of the range in both opposing righteousness of "Zhou Yi" ,I have discussed the difference of the range between aggregation of antonym and synonym. All the text was divided into four chapters.The first chapters is the introduction . First of all, I though it was importance that the antonym studies. Then I showed why I would study the antonym of "Zhou Yi". I summed up the current situation about this problem. On the basis of previous achievement, I recognized the law of element word analysis to the antonym limits, simultaneously. thinking both sides are opposite yet complementary in the foundation, this article proposed that the grammatical function of both sides should be consistent ,as well as both sides should be present in the linguistic environment .The antonym function ought to be consistent. the method of Antonym decision can be attributed mainly to the law of defining the text format, the law of element word analysis and the law of context demand explaining .Chapter II is about the monosyllabic analysis of the specific Content words antonyms in "Zhou Yi" .Firstly, it can be divided into specific Content word antonyms of the bible and the biography, at the same time, some antonyms are between the bible and the biography. Then their respective antonyms can be divided into adjectives, nouns, verbs and numeral antonyms. Antonyms in the process is only adjectives. At first, I studied the lasted existence of the two sides in the development, and estimated that it was belong to primal meaning or extended meaning. Then I analyzed the sentence that included antonyms, so I can discussed their relationship and characteristics.Chapter III is the Comparative Study between the bible and the biography. First of all, through the comparative studies about the adjective antonyms ,at the same time thinking the relevant circumstances on the classics before Han Dynasty, I posited that the presence of adjective antonyms growed and eventually dominate the process of change. Further more, I analyzed the causes of the phenomenon. Secondly, though the comparative study between the two sides-antonyms ,thinking the relevant circumstances of "XunZi", I posited that the antonyms of two extended meaning increased gradually with the decreasing of the antonyms of two primal meaning before Qin Dynasty. Then I analyzed briefly the reasons for this change.Chapter IV is about the discussion on the research of the range on opposing righteousness. By analyzing the characteristics about the range of the two sides, I posited that it was in the form of relatively free of the range of opposing righteousness in "ZhouYi". At the same time, I have discussed the reasons for this situation. This chapter also compares the range of their existence of synonyms and antonyms, it is very different .One assemblage of synonym existed in all over book ,whereas one assemblage of antonyms existed in a small scope of the department, and generally it was confined in a single sentence or a complex sentence.
