This article aims at comparing the Duan Yu-cai and the Gaoyou two Wangs' semantic researches on "The Book of Songs". By probing into the proposed issues of their semantic study on "The Book of Songs", this author choses the most representative work in Qing dynasty, Yin Sheng Qiu Yi, as the core of study, and emphasizes on characters with coupled initials and rhymes, connection of 'you wen', and phonetic loans to clarify differences from Duan Yu-cai's and the Gaoyou two Wangs' researches. Although both schools seem to agree on "The keynote of semantic study exists in sounds," the author argues the radical differences between Duan Yu-cai and the Gaoyou two Wangs for their dissimilar uses of sounds to interpret the meanings of characters. Duan Yu-cai lay emphasis on shapes of the characters rather than the sounds, and the two Wangs highlight sounds. As a result, one may see similarities and differences in their semantic essence and thoughts from their study on "The Book of Songs".
