In the Bronze inscriptions of Yin and Zhou Dynasties, the Verbs on movement can be separated into five categories according to directions, like hither ones, thither ones, up and down ones, along ones and ones no directions.

Some of them have come to scrutinize motion verbs in their studies.

The verb categories in English SVOC structure and those in Chinese "Jianyu" structures have no correspondence, but they have undergone the similar process of grammaticalization, that is, they are derived either from words with the meaning of causation, or from grammatical metaphor.
