In the process of language study and exploration, human beings' countless successful experience as well as lessons of failure has furthered the understanding of language step by step. An insight into previous research and problems will be likely to help contemporaries know what has been done. The knowledge helps us broaden our horizon, crystallize our thoughts and continue to innovate both in theory and practice; therefore we can avoid making detours in our study. Meanwhile, it can also help us predict the development trend of the subject by summarizing the law of linguistics development in the past to set the direction for which we are heading. This is the reason why the subject--the history of linguistics-- has been the focus of attention in recent years.
