日本《东音谱》之汉语语音史研究价值探析

The Value of Japanese Tō'on pu(东音谱)in the History of Chinese Phonology

新井白石《东音谱》(1719)是日本国语音韵学代表作,但其价值远远超出了日本国语学,在汉语语音史上亦具有重要的地位和研究价值。《东音谱》上承日本江户时期《韵镜》,下启《磨光韵镜》,不仅继承和发展了日本早期"韵镜学"文献中所萌芽的汉字音史观,又突破了传统汉字音研究的樊篱,加入汉语方言要素,体现出初步的汉语方音历史比较意识。

Arai Hakuseki’s Tō’on pu(东音谱)(1719)has been regarded as a Japanese work on national language,but its value is far beyond Japanese linguistics,and in fact has an inseparable relationship with Chinese phonology.It linked between Yunjing(韵镜)and Moguang Yunjing(磨光韵镜)in the Edo period.On the one hand,the Tō’on pu(东音谱)inherits the historical conceptions the sound of Chinese characters(Hanzi yin),as predicated by traditional"Yunjing studies(韵镜学)";on the other hand,adding the Chinese Dialects,it has made a breakthrough in the traditional sound studies of Chinese characters(Hanzi yin),which reflects an initial awareness towards Chinese historical comparison.
