The author tries to analyze the orientation of the structure"NP1 + zh?o X + NP2” from the perspective of the Animacy, and summarizes their swing mechanism. Because of the limited time and the paper length, I select the nine words that have high use frequency?high productivity and more typicality. They are “zh?o h?o” ?“zh?o qu?n”?“zh?o dŕo”?“zh?o ch?”?“zh?o huí”?“zh?o zh?n”?“zh?o duě”?“zh?o shŕng” and “zh?o biŕn”. Then I classify them into four categories according to the different semantic of complement ingredients. In this paper, I analyze the structure deeply combining a large amount of typical corpus with the animacy theory. The author found that when the verbs “zh?o” has expanded the scope of its subject and object with the result and path complement ingredients; the requirement of the subject is stricter than the object. The meaning of “zh?o X” is changed when the subject belongs to different animacy degree. The verbs “zh?o X” 'swing comes true. And this swing gives expression to the economic principle of language and the combination of the principles of richness.
