Yunjing

Yunjing

The "Yunjing" (zh-cpw|c=韻鏡/韵镜|p=Yùnjìng|w=Yün-ching; "Rime Mirror") is the oldest existing Chinese rime table. Current versions of the "Yunjing" date back to the 1161 and 1203 editions published by Zhang Linzhi (張麟之; Chang Lin-chi).

In theory, the "Yunjing" is a two-dimensional representation of the Middle Chinese phonological system. The preface lists 36 initial consonants ("shengmu" 聲母/声母 "sound mothers"); see the (Chan) link below. The Yunjing contains 43 charts ("zhuan" 轉 "turns; revolutions"), each of which tabulates combinations of a particular final rime (in rows) with various initials (in columns), in up to four tones. A detailed description of this native Chinese phonological system can be found at the rime table article. For further information about the "Yunjing", see Coblin (1996) and Pulleyblank (1998).
