摘　　要：本文是我们关于五行概念背后的认知机制研究的成果之一。语料分析发现,古汉语中存在概念借代[火代火的特征]和[火代燃烧]以及概念隐喻[具有火的特征的现象/物体是火]、[人是火]、[状态的强度是火的强度]和[历运更替是五行更替];现代汉语中存在概念借代[火代火的特征]和[火代用火做工具]以及概念隐喻[具有火的特征的现象/物体是火]、[人是火]、[状态的强度是火的强度]、[事件是火]和[人类文明的产品是火]。[火]的发展变化折射出古今中国人对自然和社会的不同认知。This is a part of our study of the cognitive mechanisms behind the Five Elements ： SHUI ＇ Water＇ , HUO ＇ Fire＇ , MU ＇ Wood＇ , JIN ＇ Metal＇ and TU ＇ Earth＇ It has been found that FIRE in ancient Chinese extends its territory through conceptual metonymies FIRE FOR FEATURES OF FIRE and FIRE FOR BURNING, and conceptual metaphors A（N） PHENOMENON/OBJECT WITH FEATURES OF FIRE IS FIRE, HUMAN BEING IS FIRE, THE INTENSITY OF A STATE IS THE INTENSITY OF FIRE, and REPLACEMENT OF DYNASTIES IS REPLACEMENT OF THE FIVE ELEMENTS. In modern Chinese FIRE forms its network through metonymies FIRE FOR FEATURES OF FIRE and FIRE FOR USING FIRE AS TOOLS, and metaphors A（N） PHENOMENON/OBJECT WITH FEATURES OF FIRE IS FIRE, HUMAN BEING IS FIRE, THE INTENSITY OF A STATE IS THE INTENSITY OF FIRE, EVENT IS FIRE, and PRODUCTS OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION ARE FIRE. The different cognitive networks of FIRE developed by the ancient and modern Chinese people demonstrate their different understandings of nature, human beings, and society.
