Abstract
Lun Heng was written in the East Han Dynasty. Because the writing style is of both Ancient Chinese and Middle Chinese, Lun Heng is worth researching. The third-person pronouns in Lun Heng are mainly “之(zhi)”, “其(qi)”, “彼(bi)”, “厥(jue)”, “若(ruo)”, “夫(fu)”, “此(ci)” and “是(shi)”. Generally speaking, these third-person pronouns in Lun Heng inherit the existing usage in Ancient Chinese. However, they also have developments and changes, which involve the alteration of syntax functions and the appearance of new third-person pronouns.
