Great achievements have been made in the research of Chinese etymology in recent years: further study of the basic theories, of the function of phonetic signs indicating the origin of the word, of Chinese paronyms with emphasis on its special phenomena and of the history of the Chinese etymology. Four points must be stressed for the future research: the in-depth study of the theory, especially the nomenclatures, the multiple methods, the history and the application of Chinese etymology.
