This paper based on the content of conjunctions in the 17-19-century 8 European sinology works(original photocopying of sinology and some Chinese translation literature),bringing together the multilingual background of the romance(Italian,French),Germanic(English,German),Slavic(Russian),This paper probes into the types of Chinese conjunctions from different mother-tongue sinologists,and assists in perfecting the study of local Chinese conjunctions with the help of his domain perspective.First of all,according to the identity of Sinologists(missionary sinologists and professional sinologists)and mother tongue,eight sinology works were analysed in a diachronic way.In this paper,the inclusion of conjunctions and the division of sub-classes are summarized by graph.the research materials used in this paper have multi-language background,from the perspective of multi-language types to see the kind of Chinese conjunctions,highlighting the essential characteristics of Chinese conj unctions,to supplement the limitations of the study of local Chinese conjunctions.Lastly,from Synchronic,taking conkunctions as the core of the problem,this paper looks at the research results of Western sinologists and the local Chinese conjunctions of the same era.This leads to the conclusion that:First,from the diachronic point of view,in the 17-19 century,western sinologists have the relationship of reference and development in the understanding of conjunctions,and their knowledge of Chinese conjunctions is from comparative to western languages to the fact that they gradually tend to be close to Chinese.Second,sinologists believe that the word "yeba" is a conjunction that represents the function of "starting and ending" connection and that the word "zhigu" belongs to the posterior conjunctions that denote the cause,and the study of Chinese conjunctions from multiple perspectives is beneficial to the classification of lexical categories of specific words;Third,the conjunction needs to be compared with the syntactic structure and functionally similar words to highlight its grammatical features;Fourth,through the Indo-European multilingual type comparison,the conj unctions that denote the meaning of "AND" are equivalent to Chinese "he" only when the true value[p&q]=true Value[q&p].At the same time the conjunctions that denote the accompanying "WITH" meaning of prepositions more inclined to "he","AND",the non-juxtaposition semantics of meaning expression are the same as Chinese "er"semantics.Fifth,the Chinese meaning ability is one of the reasons for the default of Chinese conjunctions;also,the Chinese rhyme requirement provides the condition for the conj unctions default.
