At present,there are few studies on the historical evolution of Chinese psychological verbs.For the study of the semantic field evolution of "thinking",there are few and no detailed description of the specific development of the semantic field of"thinking".Wang Fengyang spoke in ancient Chinese thinking activity verbs pointed out:"people’s thinking activities can be divided into two aspects: one is from the known to the unknown,which is based on existing knowledge analysis,to comprehensive,reasoning,judgment,to go to the remembrance of imagination;known things.This is the impression that."Think" and "think" have both,the former is the main.And ’bosom’ and ’read’ are the main ones.The thinking in this paper is mainly about the former.It refers to the mental activities of the human brain in analyzing,synthesizing,reasoning and judging one or more objects,emphasizing the thinking activity itself.This article is divided into six chapters as follows:The first chapter is the introduction,which is divided into four sections:The first section explains the theoretical background and research status of this topic.This topic involves the theory of semantic field and the theory of Chinese lexicalization.This part mainly deals with the basic knowledge of the two theories.The present situation of this topic is divided into two parts: the present situation of the research on the semantic field of ancient Chinese and the current status of the research on the meaning field of the common words in the "thinking" category.There are quite a lot of researches on the semantic field of ancient Chinese,but there are few researches on the category of "thinking",and there are some problems such as incomplete description and detailed corpus investigation,which leads to the conclusion that it is not scientific enough.The second section introduces the significance of the topic.There are three main points.First,it provides reference for the study of Chinese semantic field evolution;secondly,it provides basis for Lexicalization and grammaticalization.Thirdly,the commonly used words occupy a key position in vocabulary.It is easier to find the evolution rule of Chinese from common words.The third section introduces the research methods of this paper.This paper appliesthe combination of quantitative and qualitative methods.First,we should clear the number of members.Secondly,we should use quantitative methods in statistical data.We can deduce the causes of semantic field evolution through judgement of parts of speech.In addition,it involves the method of synchronic and diachronic combination.First,it describes the members of the semantic field in different periods,and makes a comprehensive investigation of its diachronic changes.The fourth section introduces Wang Li’s style of ancient Chinese history,which mainly comes from the original book and some network corpus.The second chapter mainly describes the basic situation of the members in the meaning field of the words "thinking" in ancient Chinese.The meaning fields of "thinking" in the period from the pre Qin period to the Han Dynasty include five words,"thinking,drawing,thinking,thinking,thinking".In the premise of corpus investigation,summarized the characteristics of the semantic field in the ancient times,the main performance is: the monosyllabic and semantic field on different members,"thinking" occupies the core position etc.The third chapter studies the characteristics of each member of the meaning field of "thinking" in the middle ancient times.On the basis of the former members of the ancient times,there were some new members: "thinking,thinking,thinking,thinking," and so on,there were nine members.By comparing with the ancient period of statistical data,summed up the characteristics of the Song Dynasty in the southern and Northern Dynasties to the evolution of the semantic field,mainly for the emergence of a large number of double syllable words,in addition to show: the extended meaning of disyllabic words tends to be stable,the production and development,some members gradually decline.The fourth chapter describes the changes and characteristics of the members of the semantic field in the modern "thinking" category,mainly involving five members,namely,"thinking,thinking,thinking,thinking and considering".The modern vernacular novels,the rapid development of the spoken language enhancement,closer to the vernacular,far from ancient times corpus.The evolution of members is obvious.Some words gradually quit the semantic field,and some new members joined.The two syllable words experienced rapid development from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty,andthen experienced a gradual decline from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.In addition,it also shows that members are reduced,"thought" occupies the core position,and "thought" becomes the essential morpheme of the double tone words.The fifth chapter is divided into two sections.On the basis of the previous chapters,the evolution and evolution of the semantic field are analyzed and summarized.The first section summarizes the evolution features,mainly reflected in: "thinking" has always been in an important position,a member of degree of membership and the double syllable words is increasing significantly,the total number of members from rising to decrease,as the main part of the recession has been "thinking" meaning and so on in the same period in some corpus.The second section explores the causes of evolution: the influence of literature is mainly about the style,content and language style of literature;the rule of language internal development,the influence of Chinese vocabularies and the influence of the background of the works.Many aspects of the reasons for the evolution of words can be explored in depth.The sixth chapter is the summary part,systematically summarizes the research content of the article,shows the innovation of the article,and points out the shortcomings of the article.
