关于汉语上古韵部“一部一元音”与“一部多元音”问题的我见

My Opinion on the Theories“One Rhyme Group with a Vowel”or“One Rhyme Group with many Vowels”in Old Chinese

上古汉语“一部一元音”和“一部多元音”的分歧由来已久,本文从关于押韵的几个理论问题入手,揭示了押韵的本质,指出押韵是上古韵部分析的基础,但不是其唯一标准;不管是音素分析还是音位分析都不能支持“一部一元音”的论点。文章揭示了古今中外的诗歌押韵都存在不同元音相押的事实,并确认上古音韵部一部一元音和一部多元音都是实际存在的,坚持一个韵部只能有一元音将导致理论上的困难和实践上的矛盾,因此坚决反对古音研究和押韵研究中的绝对化的思维模式。

The difference on“one rhyme group with a vowel”or“one rhyme group with many vowels”in Old Chinese exists for a long time.From some related questions on rhyming,this paper revealed the essence of rhyming,and pointed out that rhyming is the base for the analysis of rhyme groups in Old Chinese;however,it is by no means the only criteria.Neither phone analysis nor phoneme analysis can support the idea of“one rhyme group with a vowel”in Old Chinese.This paper also unveiled the fact that many rhyming patterns in poems,both in China and abroad,in ancient times and in modern times,are different vowels in one rhyme group.It could ensure the existence of“one rhyme group with many vowels”in Old Chinese.To stick to“one rhyme group with a vowel”in Old Chinese could lead to the difficulties in theory as well as the contradictions in practice.Therefore,we strongly oppose the absolute thinking model in the research of ancient phonology and rhyming system.
