The words having the value of verbal perusal can reveal the text theme, increase aesthetic taste and also contain cultural information.A dictionary is a necessary tool for verbal perusal. Through textual induction and cultural restoration, the pragmatic analysis of verbal perusal can help us to study the specific words in a particular situation, discover the meaning of semantics, and crack the deep password of the text.Verbal perusal should start with the composition to let us understand the content as a whole. Through synonyms, accuracy, repetition, taboo, and rhythm to enhance the potential of the rhetoric and other general rhetoric effect, the author’s emotional attitude and social history and other cultural information can be acquired. Analysis of key words can clarify the emotional development of the article, such as "Fuyang"and "Kuai" in Preface to Lanting Pavilion Collection.
