The period from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty constituted the period of Middle Chinese. Research in Middle Chinese has attracted attention in recent years. While retaining features of Ancient Chinese grammar, obvious obsolete cases and new uses occurred in morphology and syntax. The changes became an important part of Middle Chinese grammar and laid a basis for the further evolution of Early Modern Chinese grammar. Numerous grammatical phenomena in the Tang and Song Dynasties started in Middle Chinese. Middle Chinese grammar represented a change in which new forms replaced old ones, thus playing a significant role in the history of Chinese grammar by acting as a connecting link.
