Abstract

The purpose of this article is to deeply explore the thought of analogical reasoning in ancient Chinese language cognition, and reveal its basic concept, historical origin, operating mechanism and far-reaching influence on language learning, cultural inheritance and modern enlightenment. This article systematically combs the rich connotation and wide application of analogical reasoning in ancient Chinese. It is found that analogical reasoning, as an ancient way of cognition and thinking, has effectively promoted the construction and semantic expansion of ancient Chinese vocabulary, and promoted the innovation of syntactic structure and the application of rhetorical devices. It makes ancient Chinese a profound and flexible language system, bearing rich cultural connotations and philosophical thinking. Through analogical reasoning, the ancients were able to transcend intuitive perception and form more complex and abstract concepts, which provided infinite possibilities for language learning and expression. The core result of this article is to reveal the core position and mechanism of analogical reasoning in the cognition of ancient Chinese language, which provides a new perspective for modern linguistic research and language teaching. This article holds that the idea of analogical reasoning is not only a valuable legacy of ancient Chinese language cognition, but also an important driving force to promote modern linguistic research and the development of language technology.
