The use of bei-sentences depends largely on the text. This paper examines the use of the post-bei object of a bei-sentence in a text. It argues that the post-bei object is correlated with the context in both linearity and meaning and that the object plays an important role in thematic cohesion, lexical anaphor and semantic coherence. The object sometimes has definite reference, referring to certain given information above, but sometimes it may have indefinite reference, developing certain information below. The object plays a role of cohesion and coherence in textual extension.
