Adjective ＂ shen＂（ deep） is used to describe the vertical and horizontal dimension of a container. Its semantic features are as follows： orientation,direction,interior dimension,container schema,the bottom that is difficult to reach,the interior that is difficult to see. These semantic features which are considered as source domain have rejected related target domain to produce many metaphorical senses.
