This paper takes Xu Guixin’s Qieyun Zhinan as its primary subject of study, examining its phonological features and analyzing its structural arrangement as well as the prototype of its rime table framework. The study aims to clarify the relationship of inheritance between Qieyun Zhinan and Zhao Peizi’s Tibi Guangzeng Fenyun Wufang Yuanyin, and to further synthesize the phonological phenomena reflected throughout Qieyun Zhinan.
The paper first elucidates the circumstances behind the compilation of Qieyun Zhinan and its editorial principles, highlighting the differences between Xu Guixin’s original work and Ai Shaoquan’s annotated edition. It then employs statistical analysis of the rhyme-chart example characters to summarize the phonological characteristics of Qieyun Zhinan and to observe the intent behind its revisions. Finally, it evaluates the various phonological phenomena presented in the work, interpreting features of both the literary reading pronunciation shown in Yuanyin Fendeng Shiershe and the local Shandong Jiyang dialect reflected in “Qieyun Zhinan Bei Kao.”
