) from microscopic perspective. Based on the statis-tics and analysis, this paper explores the origin, occurrence time, evolution pro-cess, service conditions and the reasons of semantic changes of dòuzhēng (
) and zhēngdòu (
). And this study aims at providing some reference for the study of morpheme-inverted words from microscopic perspective.
