According to whether "JIANG"(将)can be used singly and its syntactic function, this article will be divided into three parts, after that, it will be the grammar progress. This article has four chapters not including the Introduction and Conclusion. The Introduction includes the reasons, the research purpose and the significance of the study, and introduces the research achievements, the theory background, the research process, data sources and the questions to be solved.In Chapter One, as the morpheme, "JIANG"(将)will be used as the Nominal morpheme, Dynamic part-of-speech morpheme and Vice part-of-speech morpheme.
