Chinese words by the syllable to the two-syllable development is a basic rule in Chinese history.Overall,the Middle Ages before the two-tone, the process of slow,picks up the pace from the Eastern Han Dynasty,the further development of the Wei Dynasty for the final change to the satustion of sallable-based foundation.In this process, development of adverbs,without exception,to be the convergence of Chinese general trend of polysyllabic words.Medieval Times two-syllable adverbs appeared in large numbers,these two-syllable adverbs,both produced before the Middle Ages inherited in this period was emerging during this period. Whether arising prior to or medieval freshmen, have shown Middle Chinese disyllabic adverb characteristics. Song Shu as an important literature of this period, the adverb systems must reflect the disyllabic words in Chinese law.Article describes the main method of using the Song Shu in the use of two-syllable adverbs comprehensive and detailed analysis, including Song Shu in the type of two-syllable adverbs, adverbs of frequency of occurrence of each;Using the comparative method Song Shu in the two-syllable adverbs are classified, and each class of two-syllable adverbs comparative analysis;Number of statistical methods appropriate use of some quantitative analysis of grammatical phenomena。The article on Song Shu exhaustive investigation, identified a total of 175 two-syllable adverbs, including adverbs new two-syllable adverbs accounted for a large part (about 69% of the total), indicating that this period is an important stage of polysyllabic adverbs.Article on Song Shu double syllable adverbs of grammatical meaning and structure type to do a more detailed discussion and analysis. Judging from the grammatical meaning of classification, a larger number of adverbs of time (accounting for 31%), and basically formed a system, each two-syllable adverbs of frequency of low and uneven. Judging from the structure of meaning categories, parallel and additional double syllable adverbs accounted for a large proportion (respectively 47% and 27%). The two word-building is an important means of polysyllabic adverbs in Song Shu. Additional Morphology of which means very regular, and very broad, compared with ancient times, there has been a number of new adverb suffixes such as "self" and "complex" and that word formation has a significant impact on future generations.Through analysis, we found that Song Shu double syllable word adverb form of instability, meaning and grammatical functions are not consolidated, polyphonic composition is free, active, and vary greatly in modern Chinese.We believe this is the rapid reproductive periods of polysyllabic words inevitable phenomenon, because medieval period is an important period for language development, just create a new word or grammar, whether in the sense of form have relatively unstable. Although there are many words in the long river of history is gone, has not been adopted in modern Chinese, but we also see that some (approximately 30%) or were completely reserved words in modern Chinese, these two-syllable adverbs can be used since the one hand, shows the two-syllable adverbs have withstood the test of time, it also illustrates the formation of modern Chinese went through a very complex inheritance, development and evolution.
