A Study On The Dictionaries Compiled By The Kings Of The Qing Dynasty

In the thesis, the author shed lights on the edition, relations, structure and the compiling methods of the dictionaries compiled by the kings of the qing dynasty by the means of philology and lexicology. The whole thesis consists of four parts.The preface introduced the significance of selected topics, history of the study on the topic and the means of the study.The first chapter outlined the process that kings of the qing dynasty compiled the dictionaries. From the process, we can see that the《ayalγu neilegsen toli》and the《dorben juil-un usug qabsuruqsan manju Ugen-u toli》compiled during five yaears, 1772-1777. although the《tabunjuil-un usug qabsuruqsan manju Ugen-u tvli》based on the《dorben juil-un usug qabsuruqsan manju ugen-u toli》and the《dorben juil-u n usug qabsuruqsan toll》, modified some translations of the later.The second chapter is the main part, which not only investigated the translations, paraphrase, but also paid attention to the class and annotation of pronunciation of the dictionaries compiled by the kings of the qing dynasty. The class of these dictionaries is influenced by "cong shu" which is a kind of stylistic rules and layout of Chinese book. The Manchu letters that annotate the Mongolian vocabularies cannot accurately display the characteristics of pronunciation of the Mongolian.The conclusion formed a brief summary commentary and the basic judgment of the thesis.
