The Research On Yinyun Riyue Deng

Yinyun Riyue Deng(?????)is an important rhyme book in Ming dynasty written by Lu Weiqi.It concludes three parts,Yunmu(??),Tongwenduo(???),and Yunyue(??),that all ruled by a framework of 36 initial consonants and 106 rhymes while there are a great deal of phonetic information in it.We got a system with 34 initial consonants and 114 rhymes of Riyue Deng through the interconnection method.We inducted the phonetic system of the original voice it grounded on with 21 initial consonants,21 rhyme groups,73 rhymes from the abnormal Fanqie(??),the phonetic notations and the character voice identifications.Guanhua(??)in Ming dynasty had the voiced oral initial consonants,while Riyue Deng didn't.Beside this the features of initial consonants agreed with Guanhua in Ming dynasty,for example the initial consonants Zhi(?)and Zhao(?),Fei(?)/Fu(?)and Feng(?),and so on.The features different from Hongwu Zheng Yun(????)on the rhyme Zhi(?)and Qi(?),Han(?)and Shan(?),Jia(?)and Hui(?),were the same with Guanhua in late Ming dynasty.The abnormal Fanqie of Riyue Deng were from Hongwu Zheng Yun that proved Riyue Deng actually inherited Hongwu Zheng Yun rather than Pingshuiyun(???)therefore it destroyed the framework of 106 rhymes.The homophone notations were copied from Yunhui Juyao(????);Riyue Deng changed some characters' voices because of making reference to Yunhui,and it proved that Riyue Deng really used them under the rules of voices in Ming dynasty,and the phonetic notations were reflection of voices in Ming dynasty.The character voices which didn't meet Guangyun(??)were from Hongwu Zheng Yun and Yunhui.Riyue Deng changed some characters' voices or added some new voices on some characters because of making reference to Hongwu Zheng Yun and Yunhui.The character voices which did not match Guang Yun belong to another phonological stratum.Riyue Deng has four tones,Ping(?),Shang(?),Qu(?),Ru(?).The Ping tone hasn't been devided into Yinping(??)and Yangping(??).The characters of the Shang tone which have voiced oral initial consonants haven't completely transferred to the Qu tone.Some characters of the Ru tone have transferred to the Qu tone.Ri Yue Deng's Guyin(??)phonology was the same to Yunbu(??)'s in main construction,while has some difference on the rhyme Xian(?),Xian(?),Tan(?),Hun(?),Hen(?),Chan,(?)Shan(?),Jian(?),Xian(?),He(?),Mo(?),Xia(?),Xia(?),He(?),Qia(?),etc.
