Abstract: The evolution from hand movements to verbal verbs is considered to have crosslanguage commonality. This paper analyzed the transformation of the hand verb "Che" into a verbal verb under the action of the metaphorical mechanism, and holds that in modern Chinese, the phenomenon of "Che" has been de-categorized, and its semantics have been further simplified to represent the speaker's subjective evaluation meaning, which is subjective.

Keywords: Che semantic evolution subjectification de-categorization
