This paper introduces computational model of Chinese metaphor in machine-understanding of Chinese. By analyzing large-scale Chinese metaphor samples , we have classified Chinese metaphor based on understanding. The cognitive features of Chinese metaphor are also considered to improve our classification. The classification focuses on the similarity of the tenor and vehicle in a metaphor , showing the mode and difficulty of metaphor understanding. The relevant knowledge in metaphor understanding is also discussed. The classification is statistically verified. What's more , a program is developed to validate the rationality of our classification. Finally , a system of understanding-based classification of Chinese metaphor has been put forward. A comparison with other classification is listed. And a linguistic explaining of the system is given at the end of the paper.
