The expression ‘Classical Chinese’ ( wen - li ) refers to the literary language of China, more or less homogeneous in syntax, but with considerable variation in vocabulary and style throughout the temporal range of its use, from the earliest times down to the present. In order to give a certain unity to the present study, I have taken a sample set of texts, bound together by a single writer of the T'ang Dynasty ( a . d . 618–906) into a single book, as a kind of laboratory specimen of Chinese, as one might limit the study of a modern dialect to a single speaker, family, or village. The book in question is the Yu-yang tsa-tsu of Tuan Ch'eng-shih (died 863). This work comprises the most diversified material, from historical anecdotes of all kinds to religious and quasi-scientific data. It is expected that the results obtained will hold in general for the classical language of every period. Although some variation is to be expected in the specific classifiers used, little if any change would be looked for in the manner of their use
