Abstract

Since King Ping of Zhou moved forward the eastern of China, it was known as the Spring and Autumn period. The written Chinese language handed down from generation to generation ??" the form and structure of the classical Chinese has been basically shaped during this period. And it belongs to the "model period of classical Chinese". In particular, it is of great significance to study Chinese grammar in this early period (the Spring and Autumn period). This paper discusses the problems in corpus selection process of the Chinese grammar research from four aspects. First, we should promptly replenish the newly released unearthed documents and take it as the corpus of the study. Secondly, it should attach importance to the corpus with many components of spoken language. Thirdly, hysteretic and solemn written language should not be ruled out. Although these languages lack the context of dialogue, they are also one of the actual features of the Chinese in Spring and Autumn period. Fourth, we must carefully select the corpus, and get rid of controversial literature handed down from generation to generation. The scholars should study the Chinese in Spring and Autumn period. And they should know what corpus can meet the needs of linguistic research. This would have a very important enlightenment on the study of the history of Chinese grammar.
