A comprehensive two-volume set aims to reconstruct the ancient rhyme Chinese tables based on extant materials and findings. A rhyme table is a tabulated tool that utilizes phonological properties to indicate the pronunciation of sinograms or Chinese characters, providing a precise and systematic account of the Chinese phonological system. The first volume delves into the formation and evolution of rhyme tables, analyzing their structure and arrangement patterns in intricate detail. The author offers insights into principles governing irregular cases (menfa rules) and the nature of "division" (deng), a crucial method for classifying and differentiating speech sounds essential in reconstructing Middle Chinese.
The second volume explores the relationship between extant rhyme tables and identifies their prototype. It then presents the reconstructed rhyme tables with comprehensive annotations and additional indexes, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and students specializing in Sinology, Chinese linguistics, and particularly Chinese phonology.
This meticulous research effort will greatly enhance our understanding of the evolution and development of Chinese rhyming systems, shedding light on the rich linguistic heritage of ancient China.
