Accorded to the history of literature corpus order, this paper analyzed the specific use case of "zan" in each period, concerned about the use of "zan" and its functions in syntax and semantic, made study on the historical evolution and development of "zan", which strived to achieve the combination of diachronic and synchronic level and the unity of semantic, syntactic and Pragmatic. Hope that on the basis of the predecessors'researches, we can make clear the historical evolution and development of "zan", then research the lexical item development of "zan" and the internal relations of each lexical item, and then explore the mechanism of its grammaticalization evolution. Furthermore, we hope we can get a reasonable description and explanation for the evolution and development, and do a dynamical and systematic study for "zan".Mainly researched on the use case of "zan" in the pre-Qin Han, Wei, Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties and the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, did some classificational discussion for "zan" in each period, and did some analysis and explanation for the lexical items of "zan" and their evolution and development, then expounded the reason and mechanism for it.With the development and evolution of language, some lexical items of "zan" disappeared, leaving only a small number of lexical items and usage in the phase of competition. meanwhile with the further grammaticalization of "zan" and the trend of two-syllable in Chinese, "zan" gradually developed to be a word formation affix,and appeared some compound words on "zan", such as "zanshi","zanqie" and so on, and also these words coexist with "zan".
