The notion zhishi word for word „indicating“ is part of the categorization which has not been resolved to this time.

It introduces and analyzes the deictogram which is a suggested translation of the term according to the Chinese word. The article evaluates Chinese concepts and summarizes the definition of the notion within the categorization as one of the tasks of the science of Chinese grammatology.
