The Study Of Vocabulary In Liezi

"Liezi" is a Taoist classic works.It "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi" are called Taoism three classics.In the tang dynasty,Liezi was called "Chongxu Zhenren".And the "Liezi"was called "Chongxu Zhide Zhenjing".But when the book was written and who wrote it has always been controversial.There are two objects of study in this paper.The first object is the semantic field.We select the larger semantic field in the book,then descrbing them by using the method of synchronic and Diachronic description.On this basis,the semantic field characteristics of each historical period are used as reference frame.We can make sure the Characteristics of Semantic Field by comparison.The second object is dialect words.We look at the dialect featuers of"Liezi" by centering on Chu dialect.The details are as follows:The first chapter is the introduction.Briefly explain the origin of the topic,the research object,the relevant research status,research methods,research corpus.The second and third chapters is the study of "Liezi" era,centering on semantic field research.In the second chapter,we describes the relationship between the members in "past" semantic field,the "hidden" semantic field,the "small" meaning semantic field in "Liezi".The third chapter describe those 3 semantic fields in the pre-Qin to the Wei and Jin Dynasties.On this basis,we judge when the "Liezi" was written.By comparison,we draw the following conclusions:each each semantic field characteristics in "Liezi" is quite different from that in the pre-Qin period.The"hidden" semantic field distribution in "Liezi" is little different from that in Wei and Jin period.During the period of the Han Dynasty,the distribution of the "hidden"semantic field,the "tiny" meaning semantic field are consistent with the "Liezi".And the the distribution of the semantic field in "Liezi" is more likely that in the Eastern Han Dynasty.The last chapter is the study of "Liezi" Dialect features,centering on Chu dialect.The method of defining the Chu dialect words is mainly based on the literature research.If one word exist in the literature of Chu dialect features in Han and Wei and Jin dynasties,then we think the word is Chu dialect word.This chapter examines 13 Chu dialects,which only exist in "Liezi".These 13 cases have the following characteristics:firstly,Colloquialism and regionalism exists in part of the words.Secondly,some of the words were Chu dialect words from the han dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties.Thirdly,Some of the words in the wei and jin dynasties are not strictly the chu dialect words in the strict sense.They are the southern dialect words in the broader sense,especially jiangdong dialect.According to it,we think that the author of liazi should have the language background of Chu dialect.In the past,it is presumed that the author of "Liezi" or Wang Bi,Wang Can,Is unlikely.
