As early as BC, Japan has begun to absorb the Chinese characters as their national language. However with the changing times, the Chinese characters between China and Japan are constantly evolving in a different cultural background. Therefore, the meaning of the Chinese characters in both countries had a big difference. Chinese students and Japanese students in learning each other's language can not properly express their own ideas because of the differences of these meanings. The purpose of this study is compared the meaning of homograph between chinese and japanese. To be specific, this study focus on the comparison and analysis on the difference of Sino-Japanese homographs from the perspective of semantic analysis. On the middle of the 1,025 homography between China and Japanese, there are 597 of completely different meaning and 428 of the not completely different meaning. Homographic chinese characters were classified into four types. ① words that had completely different meanings; ② words that shard a partial common meanings and at the same time in Chinese and Japanese; ③ words whose meaning is broadening and taking on new meanings in Japanese but remain stable in Chinese; ④ words whose meaning is broadening and taking on new meanings in Chinese but remain stable in Japanese. Type ① is 58.2% at the highest ratios can be seen that. Type ② is the lowest rate and earn 11%, type ③ and type ④ was 14.6% and 16.1% showing a similar percentage. While each of the two countries in the two countries homograph lexical meaning on their own can be the most tons. In the comparison and analysis of specific vocabulary, some key points which Japanese learners should take note of were put forward. Those are of considerable practical significance for the Chinese in Japanese education and for the Japanese in Chinese education. I sincerely hope this study can contribute the reference to the people who are learning Chinese or Japanese.
