This study argues that the functions of the time adverb zai 在 can express action progression and state continuance. These two functions stem from different sources. Zai 在, functioning as state continuance, involves the evolution of {locative verb ＞ time adverb}. This was formed by inducing a metaphor mechanism in the static context. Zai 在, which performs action progression, evolved from {locative verb ＞ locative preposition ＞ time adverb}. This happened in the dynamic context where serial verb constructions carried out semantic devaluation and the void reference of {zai 在 + demonstrative pronoun} caused the dropping of the locative phrases. The two evolution routes take on typological meaning and are confirmed via cross-linguistic comparison. The time adverb ＂zhengzai＂正在 was formed in the cause-effect context where the sequence {＂zheng 正＂_(adverb) + ＂zai 在 + VP＂_(verb-object/preposition-object)} cannot be explained by {zheng 正 + zai 在 + VP + zhishi 之時}. The ＂VP＂ was then turned into the focus of action events, which led to a reanalysis as {＂zhengzai 正在＂_(adverb) + ＂VP＂_(verb phrase)}.
