Abstract

The flexible use of adjectives is an important part of the ancient Chinese parts of speech. This paper attempts to analyze and demonstrate the essence and causes of the flexible use of adjectives in ancient Chinese by using the decategorization theory in order to correctly interpret the text of Chinese classics, and then contribute to translating Chinese classics into English and spread Chinese classic culture.
