日藏启蒙类书《直音汇韵》与清初江淮方音

The wordbook Zhiyinhuiyun(直音汇韵) preserved in Japan and the Jianghuai dialect of early Qing Dynasty

日藏《直音汇韵》是清代康熙年间刊刻带有直音音注的启蒙类书,音注反映出其语音性质是以清初安徽安庆、桐城一带方音为基础的洪巢片江淮官话。

The paper claims that the Zhiyinhuiyun(直音汇韵) preserved in Japan was not published during the Ming Dynasty but in the reign of Kangxi during the Qing Dynasty.It is not a rhyme book in traditional sense but rather a wordbook with phonetic notations on the pronunciation of words.These notations reflect the phonetic characteristics of the Hongchao cluster in Jianghuai dialect spoken during the early Qing Dynasty.Thus,the wordbook is regarded as a valuable source for the study of the Jianghuai dialect spoken during the early Qing Dynasty.
