Abstract

Combining with specific sentence cases in The Analects of Confiicius, this paper studies the nature of the word He(何) in ancient Chinese structure of He(何) + V. We conclude that it's a doubt pronoun, but not a doubt adverb, thus we're able to avoid confusing the category of the word with its structure part in the sentence. Based on the grammar rules of ancient Chinese, we have a discussion about how to judge the word He , that is whether the word is a prepositive object or an adverbial.
