The conventional word order of modern Chinese habits is generally "subject-predicate-object" and "definite (form)-head word", that is, the subject precedes the predicate, the predicate precedes the object and the modifier precedes the head word; But sometimes, due to the needs of rhetoric and emphasis, the word order will change.
This is just like "I'll go first" in Guangzhou dialect and "I'll go first" in Mandarin, with no rhetoric or emphasis. But in order to facilitate our study, it is called "inverted sentence", which means that the order of some sentence elements in classical Chinese is reversed.
We call the phenomenon that the predicates are placed in front of the subject "predicate preposition" or "verb inversion", the phenomenon that the objects are placed in front of the predicate verbs or prepositions "prepositional objects", the phenomenon that the attributes are placed after the head language "attributive postposition" and the phenomenon that the prepositional phrases, that is, adverbials are placed after the head language "prepositional phrase postposition" or "adverbial postposition".
Introduction to classical Chinese:
Classical Chinese is an article composed of written Chinese language in ancient China, which was used by Han people before the May 4th Movement. It mainly includes written language based on spoken language in pre-Qin period. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, bamboo slips, silk books and other things were used to record characters.
With the change of history and the evolution of spoken language, the difference between classical Chinese and spoken language has gradually expanded, and "classical Chinese" has become the exclusive language of scholars.
Classical Chinese is relative to the vernacular Chinese after the New Culture Movement, and there was no such thing as classical Chinese in ancient times.
It is characterized by paying attention to the use of allusions, parallel prose and neat melody, including strategies, poems, words, songs, stereotyped writing, parallel prose and other styles. After the modification of literati in past dynasties, it became more and more flashy. Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, initiated the "ancient prose movement" and advocated returning to popular ancient prose. The classical Chinese in modern books are generally marked with punctuation marks in order to facilitate reading and understanding.
