China) Abstract: From early modern Chinese to modern Chinese, the subject positions of causal sentences containing causal conjunctions “jì ( 既 )”, “jìrán ( 既然 )”, “suǒyǐ ( 所以 )” and “zhīsuǒyǐ ( 之 所 以 )” appeared four different changes, and formed four different evolutionary ways. Each way developed under the competition of two forces promoting the subjects to the front or to the back. Each force formed by inferences of different factors.
