Since the birth of the Grammatical System of MaJian-zhong, most of Chinese grammatical studies have been conducted from the angle of forms of expression, while few have been done from that of the combination of form and meaning. The first study conducted from the angel of combination of form and meaning was On Expression in Essentials of Chinese Grammar (v.2) written by LII Shuxiang. However, in the field of Jiaguwen research, nobody has ever made any systematic study, and therefore this essay attempts to make a tentative study on the two semantic grammatical categories of number and orientation and locality. This essay includes three parts: introduction, the study on the number category and the study on the categoiy of orientation and locality in Jiaguwen. The part of study on the number category discusses the structure and classification of numerals in Jiaguwen, including cardinal numerals, ordinal numerals and unit words. In addition, it also analyzes the syntagmatic relations between numerals and nouns or unit words, and the grammatical functions of numerals and numeral phrases. The part of study on the category of orientation and locality discusses the words of prientation and of locality, and the structural types of compound words of orientation and locality. It expounds the word meanings, the relation to verbs and grammatical functions of orientation and locality words as well as the orientation and locality words in the Jinwen and classical literature of Qin dynasty.
