From some of his statements, we can see that the thinker of Xunzi have already mentioned some of the things two thousand years ago that we also advocate today. Such as promotion of mandarin.Of course there are many aspects related to the language itself in the text by interpretation. The third chapter are mainly related to the time the real problem which has exsited in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, many "masters" are trying to debate on this issue, but in many views, only Xunzi’s point can convince the "people.Rectification of names" said that Gu Yi, about the life of convention that should be different from that about then that should not be non-solid, about life for real, established that thethe real name. the social function of language and thinking function are discussed in the fourth chapter.Chapter V researches the science aspects from the pragmatic exposition, such as there’s a manifestation of the cooperative principle and politeness principle verbal communication. The sixth chapter is a summary of the entire article.In short, through the research of Xunzi and his thought, we found that many of his linguistic thought is extremely advanced and has highly reference and guidance for the research in the field of linguistics.
