- Abstract
Scholars gave great attention to Zhuanzhu, one of the traditional six categories of Chinese characters, but no consensus regarding its definition had been reached. Many scholars today advocate ignoring the zhuanzhu type. This author thinks it is impossible to ignore the most fundamental theory of Chinese philology. A breakthrough is made by understanding better the key term Tongyi in Xu Shen's definition of Zhuanzhu. The properties of the traditional six categories of Chinese characters are also better defined by this understanding.
