The research of Chinese language has a long history and fine tradition in Zhejiang University. In fifty or sixty of the 20th century, the Chinese department of original Hangzhou University was well known for its excellent faculties, and many famous experts of Chinese language worked in this department, such as Jiang Liangfu, Ren Mingshan, Jiang Lihong and Guo Zaiyi. Since then, the research on history of Chinese language became a characteristic and excellent discipline of our university all along. A series of works won many high-grade prizes and honors successively, such as Jiang Liangfu’ Interpretation of ChuCi, Jiang Lihong’s Interpretation of Words in DunHuang BianWen，and Guo Zaiyi’s Interpretation of Words in Colloquial Poems of Tang Dynasty, Corpus on Chinese Traditional Exegetics. Along the road founded by the precurory scholars, now a passel of young and middle-aged scholars already stood out prominently, and gained much excellent accomplishment, such as Wang Weihui, Fang Yixin, Zhang Yongquan, Wang Yunlu，and Zhuang Chusheng, etc. Their works have produced good influence in the academe. At the same time, they also became the promising young scholars on Mid-Ancient Chinese language and Early Modern Chinese language.
