The interdisciplinary nature： The state of modem life requireshumans to make careful division of labor in human intelligence， whichis manifested in continuous division of research objects and researchmethods， forming a series of natural and social sciences. Thespecialization of knowledge， of course， embodies the progress of thehuman civilization. However， it has inevitably brought about somenegative effects， the typical example of which is that disciplines gotheir own ways， independent of each other so that there is a lack ofmutual link and communication between disciplines， resulting in theduplication of work and the waste of resources. Faced with thisoverspecialization， more and more scholars have deeply felt the need ofinterdisciplinary exchanges. Semiotics， one of the effective strategiesresponding to this requirement， takes all forms of semiosis as researchobjects or observation angles， intended to restore the links anddialogues between disciplines， and between theories and life-world. Inthis sense， the emergence and development of semiotics has derivedfrom the needs of modem knowledge structures（Ding Ershu 9）. In the true interdisciplinary spirit， semiotics crosses over the fixedboundaries of academic research. Semiotics is an overarchingconception that provides a stronger basis for interdisciplinary studiesthan traditional rationales like the humanities. Just as Li Youzhenpointed out（97） ： People are both to understand the objects correctly inorder to analyze them， and to strengthen the links between relatedobjects. This process is actually in agreement with the development ofnatural science. The so-called interdisciplinary phenomena in naturaland human sciences are entirely for the need of precision， and deploy，combine and comprehensively apply existing means （multidisciplinaryapproaches） so as to expand and refine the description of the object.The interdisciplinary features of semiotic studies are above all theinclination to atomize or systematize all the traditional research objects. ……
