Abstract
There is a kind of metonymy words with rhetorical meanings in the HSK Vocabulary Outline,
such as ‘Hong Niang’, ‘Hong Lin Jin’. Many research results can be found in academic circle in this
domain, and researchers have obtained general conclusions about this area. However, their major corpus
source is Modern Chinese Dictionary, among which less have been base on HSK word list, even less in
HSK Vocabulary Outline.
Based on previous research, we choose the words in HSK Vocabulary Outline as our target to
make a detailed investigation on the metonymy words in it. After analyzing and explaining these words,
I will combine theory in teaching Chinese as a foreign language to compile statistics about the using
of these words in HSK dynamic corpus, and finally draw some pedagogical implications from the
discussion about metonymy words
