Basing on the semantic features and the correlations to the basic trend semantic meaning, to describe semantic category of "shang" and "xia" after verbs which express results in details, in spatial dimension and non-spatial dimension.On this basis, investigating the semantic correspondence of V-shang and V-xia, starting with semantic category, and considering the characteristics of language environment, presenting the correspondence of "shang" and "xia" of Verb-Resultative phrase fully and detailedly, summarizing the semantic correspondence and non-correspondence categories of "shang" and "xia".
