Abstract
On the basis of set theory, generalized quantifier theory, and modal logic, this paper mainly focuses on the knowledge mining about generalized modal syllogism with the quantifiers in Square{fewer than half of the} and Square{no}. To this end, this paper firstly proves the validity of the non-trivial syllogism E▯M◇F-2, and deduces other 22 valid non-trivial generalized modal syllogisms based on relative reduction operations. The reason why syllogisms with different figures and forms can be mutually reduced is that any quantifier in Square{fewer than half of the} and Square{no} can define the other three quantifiers, and the necessary and possible modality are mutually dual. Since all the proofs in this article are deductive reasoning, their conclusions are consistent.

Keywords
