This paper argues that“qi (其) ”of Archaic Chinese in this sentence “王室其有間王位”is originally a anaphoric pronoun and has the two functions simultaneously, as follows:
1. “qi” focuses its preceding noun phrase.
2. “qi” changes its following predicate phrase into a nominal expression with subjunctive mood.
This paper also proposes the hypothesis which explanes how “qi” has obtained these functions, and intends to synthesize the various functions of the pronoun “qi”, which have been explaned respectively by many Chinese linguists.
