Although quantity of fusional character in ancient Chinese is not much, it is used very frequently. For learners of classical Chinese, fusional character is difficult to understand the meaning of the letters and sentences. In this study, I research fusional character ‘諸 旃叵盍曷耳那’, and related character ‘焉爾然’ in ancient Chinese. Conclusions obtained as a result of the study are as follows. 諸(zhū) is fusional character of ‘之于/於’ or ‘之乎’. 旃(zhān) is fusional character of ‘之焉’. 叵(pǒ) is fusional character of ‘不可’. 盍’(hé) and ‘曷’(hé) are all fusional characters of ‘之焉’. 叵(pǒ) is fusional character of ‘不可’. 盍’(hé) and ‘曷’(hé) are all fusional characters of ‘何不’. 耳(ěr) is fusional character of ‘而已’. 那(nuó) is fusional character of ‘奈何’. ‘焉’(yān) is fusional character of ‘於之/是’. ‘爾’(ěr) and ‘然’(rán) are all fusional characters of ‘如 此’.
