A Study Of The Close Relationship Between [-n][-m] Type Thirteen Rhymes In Ancient Times

Since Chendi's correct view of phonetics in Ming Dynasty,the study of old Chinese peonunciation has developed qualitatively.The general boundaries of old Chinese rhyme have been determined since the Qing Dynasty.Modern scholar WangLi summarizes twenty-nine ancient rhymes in the era of The Book of Songs,and thirty ancient rhymes from the Warring States Period to Han Dynasty,so as to get the ancient rhymes system of eleven categories in the ancient times,with Yin(?),Yang(?),Ru(?)being matched by three sounds.However,in all kinds of works,WangLi's arrangement of ancient rhymes is not the same,which directly reflects the academic circles' differences on the kinship of ancient rhymes.Interchangeable words have always been the internal evidence material that cannot be ignored in the study of old Chinese pronunciation,with the continuous emergence of unearthed documents in the new century,as the first-hand information,the Interchangeable words of ancient Chinese characters are more accurate and reliable,which can truly reflect the original appearance of ancient phonetics.Based on WangHui's A Dictionary of the Interchangeable Characters in Unearthed Documents(?????????),this paper systematically sorts out all the interchangeable words of[-n][-m]rhymes in the book from the perspective of phonology.Taking middle ancient phonology as the reference point,this paper studies the phonetic rationality of each group of interchangeable words combined with the evolution law of ancient phonology,and finally determines the affinity between rhyme gruops through the scientific statistics of consonant frequency.This paper is divided into seven parts,the specific contents are as follows:The introduction part includes the reason and significance of this topic,the current research situation at home and abroad,and makes a certain description of the style of this article;The first chapter-Ge(?),Yue(?)and Yuan(?)rhyme group-analyzes and summarizes the Interchangeable words of this three ancient rhyme groups from three aspects: the overview of the interchangeable words,interchangeable words table of own rythem group and the illustration of the relationship between the different rhyme groups.The second chapter-Zhi(?),Zhi(?)and Zhen(?)rhyme group-analyzes and summarizes the Interchangeable words of this three ancient rhyme groups from three aspects: the overview of the interchangeable words,interchangeable words table of own rythem group and the illustration of the relationship between the different rhyme groups.The third chapter-Wei(?),Wu(?)and Wen(?)rhyme group-analyzes and summarizes the interchangeable words of this three ancient rhyme groups from three aspects: the overview of the interchangeable words,interchangeable words table of own rythem group and the illustration of the relationship between the different rhyme groups.The fourth chapter-Ji(?),Qin(?)rhyme group-analyzes and summarizes this two rhyme groups from three aspects: the overview of the interchangeable words,interchangeable words table of own rythem group and the illustration of the relationship between the different rhyme groups.The fifth chapter-Ye(?),Tan(?)rhyme group-analyzes and summarizes this two rhyme groups from three aspects: the overview of the interchangeable words,interchangeable words table of own rythem group and the illustration of the relationship between the different rhyme groups.In the conclusion part,frequency summary is made for all the interchangeable words of [-n] [-m] thirteen ancient rhymes in the whole paper.The frequency of interchangeable words between rhymes is used to analyze the affinity and disaffinity,and the rhymes order is drawn up.The theory of phonic shifting will be presented in the end.
