《皇极声音文字通》文字排列探究

A Further Interpretation About the Arrangements of the Chinese Characters in Huang Ji Sheng Yin Wen Zi Tong

作为一部明代的吴语韵书,《皇极声音文字通》完全袭用北宋邵雍的《声音唱和图》的框架,但二者在文字排列上却有一些不和谐、不一致之处,前贤对此多有诟病。本文指出这些不和谐、不一致之处反映出了明代吴语实际的语音状况,恰恰是《皇极声音文字通》的价值所在。

As a rhyme book about Wu dialect in the Ming Dynasty,Huang Ji Sheng Yin Wen Zi Tong,which was written by Zhao Qian,followed the frame of Sheng Yin Chang He Tu entirely.But we can find that the arrangements of the Chinese characters aren't consistent with the arrangements in Sheng Yin Chang He Tu,which seems disharmonious.Many exports on Huang Ji Sheng Yin Wen Zi Tong criticize this disharmony.It is pointed out in the article that this disharmony reflects the actual speech sounds of Wu dialeet in the Ming Dynasty.This disharmony is very valuable.
