Since Saussure, we have generally agreed that language is systematic, then vocabulary, as one of a series of ingredients which constitute the language, is naturally systematic'cognate words is one of the phenomena of the vocabulary's systematicness', said Mr. Wangli. We think that Chinese vocabulary system has two major subsystems, namely the vocabulary signification system and vocabulary signal system (vocabulary meaning system). The Chinese vocabulary signification system include the Chinese vocabulary Phonological system and writing system, and the Chinese vocabulary signal system (vocabulary meaning system) include surface meaning system and the deep meaning system. The cognate words meaning system of the first part of Wenshi which is the paper's research topic is the deep meaning system.On the basis of using as a source of reference and inheriting the ancestors' research achievements, this paper tries to select and sort out appropriate linguistic datas, for which we will completely investigate and analyze, then to reveal the developmental and variable rules of cognate words' etymological meaning of the first part of Wenshi and to find out the personality cognate words'etymological meaning system of the first part of Wenshi. Try my best to do some basic work for theoretical construction of the etymology. What we will do can be concretely summarized as following aspects:1 Being the cognate word linked in the first part of Wenshi as the linguistic data source, we will extensively absorb related research results, from which we will sort out a series of trustworthy cognate words. The cognate words will be taken as the basic material of studying the cognate word etymological meaning system of the first part of Wenshi.2 Learn the cognate word semanteme analytical method of Mrs. Wangning, and inductively analyze each word's meaning of all levels in every word family. On the basis of former working, we will view cognitive category as coordinates to describe the developmental and variable rules of cognate words'etymological meaning of the first part of Wenshi and construct etymological meaning system of each cognate word in the first part of Wenshi from the angle of cognitive psychology.3 On the basis of constructing etymological meaning system of each cognate word in Wenshi, make an on-the-spot investigation on the similarity of etymological meaning system of word family in the first part of Wenshi, and discuss mechanism of the cognate words'deriving and regenerating.
