This paper takes the starting preposition “Qi” as the research object, studies in detail the whole process of Preposition “Qi” from rise to prevalence to decline, combs the path of grammaticalization and explores the deep grammar law. The first chapter of this paper briefly introduces the reason, significance, background and current situation of this topic. The second chapter lists the preposition “Qi” leading to the starting materials such as time and place, and sorts out the chronological change of the starting point preposition “Qi”: “Qi” was mainly used as a predicate verb in the pre-Qin period. In the Han Dynasty, it often appeared in the adverbial position. “Qi + location” gradually changed from the verb-object structure to the preposition + object structure. The structure of “Qi + time” appeared in the Six Dynasties period, which showed that “Qi” was further grammaticalized. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, “Qi” was used frequently as a preposition for starting point. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the usage gradually declined, and now it is only retained in spoken language and dialects. Chapter 3 explains the grammaticalization process. In the grammaticalization of the starting point preposition “Qi”, the motives that play a promoting role are: semantic basis, syntactic position, cognitive factors and pragmatic frequency. The grammaticalization process reflects the two grammaticalization mechanisms of “reanalysis” and “analogization”. The fourth chapter examines the reasons why the starting point preposition “Qi” is gradually eliminated in the long-term competition process: one is the competition of similar prepositions; the second is that “Qi” is further reduced to auxiliary words. The fifth chapter summarizes and summarizes the main points of the paper after the argument. %K 起,语法化,起点介词
