  II. Literature Review on Fuzzy Language
  “The Modern Chinese Dictionary” defines “fuzziness” as “describe something in uncertain or unclear words” (Cao Xianzhai, 2005: 961). In the past people have a narrow understanding of the world so they can’t explain some natural phenomena correctly. However, due to the development of society, humans began to understand this world and form some theories of space and quantity. Obviously, it is a great progress for the world. However, sometimes, too much emphasis on precision is limited for human beings.
