Wang Ruoxu, who can be recorded in the linguistics history, called himself"a survival of the past dynasty in Hunan"after jin's perdition. Wang Ruoxu was a prolific writer, with Essays of Wang Ruoxu, a Survival of the past dynasty in Hunan handed down. Jin is the linguistics research relative deterioration time, when Neo-Confucianism was prosperous and the traditional study atmosphere changed ostentation to coxcombry. As pure scholar in Jin, as mostly learned and mindly scholar, not constrained by Sinology and Song Doctrines, Wang Ruoxu's linguistics theory and the practice represented top level at that time. In the linguistics area, Wang Ruoxu linguistics research hasn't been paid much attention to, therefore it is essential to conduct the comprehensive inspection research to it.Similar to the Chinese traditional linguists, Wang Ruoxu did not have the linguistics monograph, his linguistics theory and the practice mainly manifest in Essays of Wang Ruoxu, a Survival of the past dynasty in Hunan. The style takes resolving doubts as the key point. Errors and faults on syntax and rhetoric in confucian classics and history books had been revised. By analyzing and summing up the language materials in it the writer unfolds the linguistics practice and theory complete picture from the vocabulary, the grammar, the rhetoric.The paper altogether divides into three chapters besides the introduction and the conclusion:The first chapter is"the vocabulary research practice and the theory exploration". The words'original meaning that Wang Ruoxu inspected combining with the form and morphology is rather credible, but the cognition to the extended meaning had deficiency occasionally. With a historical view at the evolution of meaning, he explored rational meaning and additional meaning systems. Although"semantic field"is concepts of contemporary linguistics, Wang Ruoxu became conscious of its existence and applied the concepts to his study without being aware of it. Using with the theory similar to the modern semantic field, he analyzed semantic category of poly. When discriminating the synonym and polysemous words existing in a great quantity, he pointed out traditional Chinese language terms, such as"Pai ju bian wen"and"Tong yi lian wen", knew to combine several reasonableness meanings with single context meanings. All these coincide with modern linguistics theory. Moreover Wang Ruoxu had profound research to some special words, some of which still have the value up to now, for instance the proverbs, the idioms.The second chapter is"the grammar research practice and the theory exploration". Wang Ruoxu already formed explicit and self-conscious grammar point."The grammar"and"the syntax"in the book approaches the connotation which is referred to in the modern grammar. He not only distinguished the notional word from the function word, but also marked out the boundaries among the morpheme, the word and the phrase. From the syntax and the semantic angles, the multi-level and multiple grammar practices discussed in the book is approximately identical with the modern grammar research content.The third chapter is"the rhetoric research practice and the theory exploration". Wang Ruoxu has used more pen and ink talking about negative rhetoric when talked about rhetoric in Essays of Wang Ruoxu, a Survival of the past dynasty in Hunan. For positive rhetoric especially various figures of speech, Wang Ruoxu had correct understandings, also had false views. The writer gives it objective evaluation from two aspects between the study achievement and limitation. The language form has the inalienable and unified relations with the language environment's function utilization. Analysing language is unable to be seprated from the context. Wang Ruoxu stressed on comprehending language unit within the scope of the context and paid great attention to"the tendency of the articlel""the writing coherence""the reason"and so on. Through analysis in Essays of Wang Ruoxu, a Survival of the past dynasty in Hunan, we can see there are lots of points of his linguistic theory and practice far beyond the elder generations. His research, which succeeds that of Han&Tang Dynasties and inspires that of Ming&Qing Dynasties, turns out an important part in the development of Chinese linguistics. The writer carries on the comprehensive summary to it so as to fill the Jin linguistics research's insufficiency.
