Stady On Ancient Rhyme Classification System Of Taisu (Great Simplicity) And Rhymed Collation

"Huangdineijingtaisu(Great Simplicity of Huangdi ' s Internal Classic)"written by Yang Shangshan, a doctor in Tang Dynasty, still keeps the essence of"Huangdineijing(Yellow Empeorr's Classic of Interral Medicin)"and it has an important value in Chinese medical history as literature. After South Song Dynasty Taisu (Great Simplicity) had been lost in Chinese continent and the original 23 volumes of the book were found at Ninna temple in Kyoto, Japan in 1920s and later 2 other volumes were found. Taisu (Great Simplicity) was specified as national treasure twice. Yang Shoujing, a staff of Qing Dynasty embassy in Japan, brought a copy of Taisu (Great Simplicity) back to China in Edo period. Based on the copy, collation of the book was made later days by some scholars like Yuan Chan, Xiao Yanping and so on. Since Xiao Yanping published"Huangdineijingtaisu(Great Simplicity of Huangdi ' s Internal Classic)", a copy by Lanlingtang (or called as Xiao Yanping) are regarded as standard version of the book. In 1981 Taisu (Great Simplicity) was published by The Study Group of Oriental Medicine printing from a copy of the book kept at Ninna temple, which gave considerable effect on the history of medicine in China and Japan. Very few scholars, however, use the copy kept at Ninna temple edition for collation at present. As the first step for literature study, selection of a correct edition is important and a key to making collation and this will decide the outcome of the study. Ninna temple edition is the most appropriate edition of Taisu (Great Simplicity) ( Volumes 21 and 27are held by Kyo-u Library).Gu yanwu, Jiang Yong, Wang Niansun, Zhu Junsheng and Jiang Yougao of Qing Dynasty found rhyming sentences in"Neijing(Internal Medicine)"and aimed at establishing language material in ancient rhyme classification system by themselves. At this stage, phonology is not yet applied to collation and exegesis. Gu Yanwu classified rhyme system into 10, Jiang Yong did into 13, Wang Niansun did into 22 and Zhu Junsheng classified rhyme system into 18. Among all,"Suwenheyunpu(Plain Questions Ryming Score)"by Wang Niansun is a manuscript kept at Beijing university library and Qian Chaochen referred it in his"Huangdineijingtaisuyanjiu(Stady of Great Simplicity of Huangdi ' s Internal Classic)". Wang Niansun verified through his study of rhyming in"Neijing(Internal Medicine)"that"Suwen(Plain Questions)"has a characteristic of rhyme in Han Dynasty. This enlightened the scholars to a great extent later days. The scholars of rhyme classification system mentioned above put emphasis on rhyme in"Neijing(Internal Medicine)"and left it to people of subsequent period to finalize the result of the study and to point out advantages and disadvantages. Duan Yucai did not refer the rhyme of"Neijing(Internal Medicine)"in his publication, but 17 ancient rhyming parts in his"Liushuyinyunbiao(Six book Rhyming Phoneme Chart)"is completely matured. Duan Yucai was a very important scholar in the history of Chinese ancient rhyme development. The theory and the result of rhyme classification in"Liushuyinyunbiao(Six book Rhyming Phoneme Chart)"could be the best material for study of Taisu (Great Simplicity) ancient rhyme classification system.From Daoguang period to recent days, many scholars achieved a great result in collation of"Lingshu(Miraculous Pivot)"and"Suwen(Plain Questions)"using a theory of ancient rhyme classification system. Most projected among them are Lingshujiaokanji(Collated Notes of Miraculous Pivot) and Suwenjiaokanji(Collated Notes of Plain Questions) by Gu Shangzhi and also Hu Shu, Yu Yue, Yu Chang and so on.The way of collating and explaining the meaning of their Neijing(Internal Medicine) is to comprehensively combine and apply study of edition, phonology, study of collation and methods of bibliography. Therefore, the result is great and its influence to subsequent scholars would be immeasurable. It is necessary to seriously study the outcome of their research.From 1960s to date, only few scholars studied Neijing(Yellow Empeorr's Classic of Interral Medicin) using knowledge of phoneme and exegesis, and phonological study was in danger of isolation from studies. Liu Hengru achieved huge success in collation of Lingshu(Miraculous Pivot) using phonology. Summarizing and utilizing phonology of Qing Dynasty established during more than 300 years, Qian Chaochen made historical investigation on erratum through study of times of publication, characteristics of rhyming of Neijing(Yellow Empeorr's Classic of Interral Medicin) and collation of Taisu (Great Simplicity), Lingshu(Miraculous Pivot) and Suwen(Plain Questions).This thesis revised 15 letters in Lingshu(Miraculous Pivot) and Suwen(Plain Questions) using studies of edition, ancient phonetic, collation and so on. He collated Lingshu(Miraculous Pivot) and Suwen(Plain Questions) with reference to Zhenjiu jiyi jing based on Taisu (Great Simplicity), and he found erratum and rhyme loss in Lingshu(Miraculous Pivot) and Suwen(Plain Questions).The study of"Neijing(Yellow Empeorr's Classic of Interral Medicin)"is to emphasize the value of Taisu (Great Simplicity) in terms of edition, rhyme, exegesis and collation. The editions used in this thesis are the one copied by The Study Group of Oriental Medicine from Ninnaji temple edition, Huangdineijingtaisuxinjiaozheng(New collated Great Simplicity of Huangdi ' s Internal Classic) written by Li Yun and Qian Chaochen, and Xiao Yanping edition. Historical study was rudimentarily made on Yang Shangshan and it was clearly recognized that he was a man of early Tang Dynasty not of Sui Dynasty.
