顾炎武古音分韵未密之因考

A study of the reasons for GuYanwu's unclear divisionon ancient phonologies

作为清代学术开山的顾炎武,继承明末陈第提出的"时有古今,地有南北,字有更革,音有转移"的思想,对古代语音如何分韵进行了研究。他为此后古音研究开启风气、指明路径的功绩是伟大的,但也存在分韵未密的缺点。长期以来,学者只注意到他分韵未密的现象,却没有深入分析其所以如此的原因。简言之,顾炎武之所以分韵未密,是由于以韵值探究古音,还是根据典籍中押韵的情况归纳总结出上古韵部的方法上纠缠不清。

As one of the precursors of academy in Qing Dynasty,Gu Yanwu made studies on how to divide ancient phonologies with the thought of ＂ things have been changing through eras and are also different in various places,so are characters and pronunciations＂ of Chen Di who lived in the late Ming Dynasty.Although he has made great contribution to ancient phonologies research approaches,there is still a defect ofunclear division of ancient phonologies.Scholars have noticed the defect but have not analyzed its reasons.The author argue that the misusing of two methods of pronunciation and summarization result in the defect of his study.
