Study In Phonetic Notation Of15Classics

As the very important stage of the history of Chinese phone, Han, Wei and the Six Dynasties are the connecting link between the phonetic system of Book of Songs in the Pre-Qin Dynasty and the phonetic system of Guang Yun; in recent years, there are impressive research results in the phonetic notation of the Han, Wei and the Six Dynasties, and there are even more fruitful results in the research of phonetic notation of the monograph or specific person.As one of the exegetical methods for words in ancient books, phonetic notation, also known as pronunciation, has various forms and rich quantities, and the most of they are scattered among Chinese ancient books in the various dynasties. Therefore phonetic notation material has always been one of the key materials for the study of Chinese phonology. However, there is the arbitrary characteristic for phonetic notation, so regardless of at that time or later, the noter can add in any phonetic notation as he deemed correct, and thus the phonetic notations at that time is mixed with the later phonetic notations.In this paper, the author cites the phonetic notation materials of fifteen classics in the Han, Wei and the Six Dynasties, such as Book of Changes, Ancient Book of History, Mao Poem, Rites of Zhou, Yili, Book of Rites, Spring and Autumn Annals, Spring and Autumn Annals-Commentary of Zuo, Spring and Autumn Annals-Commentary of Gongyang, Spring and Autumn-Commentary of Guliang, Book of Filial Piety, Analects of Confucius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Erya. In the works of the Han, Wei and the Six Dynasties included in the General Contents of General Catalogue of Chinese Books, there are more than100kinds of phonetic notations of the Han, Wei and the Six Dynasties,76kinds of works relating to the15classics, and there are33,758relevant phonetic notation entries. With Jingdian Shiwen and Guang Yun as reference, the author conducts statistical comparisons, so as to distinguish between reliable and forged phonetic notations.This paper is divided into four parts:Part I:Summary of the of recent achievements and research status of phonetic notation materials of the Han, Wei and the Six Dynasties, introduction of the research materials and methods of this subject, and research in the authors of related works and their books, including the noters’ birthplaces, years of birth and death, and their teachers.Part II:Comparison between the source of the phonetic notations in Jingdian Shiwen written by Lu Deming and the phonetic notation materials of the Han, Wei and the Six Dynasties. As a book of pronunciation and meaning interpretation for14pre-Qin classics, Jingdian Shiwen is a summary of previous scholars’woks and their interpretations, and an indispensable tool for reading classics. It provides precious materials for descendants to study the ancient Chinese, so it has a high value in philology and linguistics. With phonetic materials in Jingdian Shiwen, the author compares them with the phonetic notation materials of the Han and Wei Dynasty, so as to judge the authenticity and reliability of the phonetic notation materials of the Han and Wei Dynasty, and whether they are the transcription of descendants on basis of Jingdian Shiwen.Part III:Taking the Phonetic segmentations with different phonological statues in the phonetic notation materials of the Han and Wei Dynasty and Guang Yun (or Ji Yun). Carry out respective investigation in the ancient voice and rhyme part, the rich voice and rhyme categories provided in the detailed classification of Guang Yun become very important reference system in the study of the history of Chinese phonetics, which is publicly recognized. The Guang Yun phonetic system is often used as the reference system for the phonetic research of all aspects of the history of Chinese phonetics, so as to explain the phonetic changes of various periods.Part IV:Conclusion. Summarize three conclusions mentioned in this paper. Conclusion I: There is no direct plagiarism relationship between the phonetic notations of the Han, Wei and the Six Dynasties and the ones in Jingdian Shiwen. Conclusion II:There is no direct plagiarism relationship between the Phonetic segmentations of the Han, Wei and the Six Dynasties and the ones in Jingdian Shiwen. Conclusion III:Although most of the phonetic notations of the Han, Wei and the Six Dynasties are from ancient times, some phonetic notation materials are not preserved from the Han, Wei and the Six Dynasties, and they do not meet the phonetic development law, so they may be alternated by descendants.
