《Da ming tong wen ji ju yao》is a word book written by Tien Yi-Hen in Ming dynasty. Which is written before “Vocabulary”, has rarely been told in etymology books. Yet the editing method of this book is inherited by《Shuowen Jiezi》, and modified by the author's chronic reflection in Chinese words. That makes a great difference in the editing style between this book and traditional word book. The concepts of the division of rational words is also similar to the concepts of the edition and explanation of word books in Ching dynasty.Although it's not valued by the scholars of Ming and Ching dynasty, it still has a great influence on posterity that study etymology. Thus I choose to make a deep research on the rational words and variant form.There are five chapters in this essay:Chapter 1. is preface, to illustrate the motivation and purpose, range and method, and to collect former research results as the cornerstone of my discussion in this essay. Chapter 2. is the course of making research and the description of editing. And to aim at the editions, concept and characteristics of editing as the point and to integrate and analyze them in the end. Chapter 3. is the differentiation of rational words and the research of variant form. Which could be divided into the analysis of differentiation of rational words, the principles of word collecting, examples analysis of variant form, the characteristics of differentiation of rational words as four parts to describe. Chapter 4. is the research on the comparison the past word books and” Da ming tong wen ji.“ To compare “Da ming tong wen ji “ with the other 8 word books in Ming dynasty and all the past dynasties. And to integrate the development of Yo-Wen theory and the collation of phonetic notation. By the process that we explore the inheritance and influence on this word book and the past word books.Chapter 5. is the conclusion, which can be divided into research results and research value to discuss individually.
