Abstract

The Chinese sentence pattern "Although p, q" is originated from the sentence pattern "though p, q" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After long-term development and change, the sentence patterns such as "though p, q", "although p, q" and "p, but q" have appeared successively. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Chinese sentence pattern "p, but q" was initially formed. During the Republic of China, this sentence developed into a common sentence.
