This paper makes a study on a book concerning the earliest studies of Chaozhou dialect words by Mr. Weng Huidong’s Chaoshan Dialect, which was published in Shanghai in 1943. We choose 1000 entries from it as the samples of the dialect words spoken in Chaozhou 70 years ago to make a comparison with the cur-rent dialect words. By evaluating the word evolution over the last 70 years and analyzing the reason and devel-opment trend, it is found that Chaozhou dialect words have changed along with the development of the society and economy.%以翁辉东1943年在上海出版的《潮汕方言》中的1000多条词语为调查比较蓝本,对现在的老派和新派潮州话进行了调查,并与其进行了比较分析。由于社会经济的进步和发展,潮州话的词汇系统也发生了很大的变化。
