Abstract

In contrast to the usage in ancient Chinese, great changes have taken place in the present usage of the Chinese character " ", its part of speech and the scope of its meaning differing a lot. The analysis of its social attribute finds that these changes reflects the modern society's pursuit of equality on the one hand, and the loss of some value pursuits held dear by ancient Chinese people on the other. These value pursuits are of great educational significance to the moral cultivation of the present society. This thesis is to relocate the lost value pursuits reflected by the current meanings of the word, and explore an effective way to exert the educational function of these value pursuits.
