官话名义、音系性质众说集萃暨明清官话韵书韵图榜

Review of theories on the name and phonological nature of Mandarin & The compilation of Chart of Rhyme Books and Diagrams in Ming and Qing Mandarin

明清官话韵书韵图知多少?从无学者做过统计。笔者经过“地毯式”探访,甄别之,比勘之,考校之,抉摘异同,剖判熔炼,事泝其原,理核其是,首次绘成“明清官话韵书韵图榜”。“官话”名义及音系性质,中外学者议论驰骋,歧见迭生。辩诘之点充分暴露出语音史研究“默认”(presupposition)的狭隘视阈,严重窒碍了汉语韵书史、韵图史研究。以反映时音多寡为传统韵书、韵图估价的偏颇认识,必须予以拨正。构建汉语韵书史、韵图史,必须决破语音史研究“范式”(Paradigm)的藩篱。

How manyrhyme books and diagrams were there in the Ming and Qing Mandarin? After careful exploration, screening, comparison, sorting, and tracing, the author will answer this question and present the “Chart of Rhyme Books and Diagrams in Ming and QingMandarin” for the first time.When discussing the name and phonological nature of “Mandarin”, Chinese and foreign scholars expressed many different views of their own. The point of debating fully exposes the narrow vision of phonetic history research-the presupposition, which seriously hinders the study of Chinese rhyme books anddiagrams history. The value of a rhyme books and diagrams lies in how much it reflects the pronunciation of the time, which is a biased understanding and must be corrected. The construction of Chinese rhyme book history and rhyme diagrams history must break through the “paradigm” of phonetic history research.
