six years at having seen it through the press. That work will ever remain a monument
industry and scholarship ; and its publication in six quarto volumes by the East
ia Company at an outlay of $60,000 was a just appreciation of its merits.
Since then, many similar works have been published, dictionaries both of the general
age and its chief dialects ; but their editions were small, and during a course of years
have either become exhausted, or are very scarce, while the number of students has

I have consulted all the works of my predecessors which I could get, sd have ex- {
amined each character in Morgison’s Syllabie Part, in Goncatves’ Diccionario China-
Portuguez, in De Gutenss’ Dictionnaire Chinois, and inmy Canton Dictionary. Dr. Mep- || |
HuRST’s translation of the Ktanghi Tsz’tien has been much used, but the principal source for || _
definitions has been its original, which, imperfect as it is according to our ideas of a lexicon,
is still the most convenient work of the kind in the language. The etymological definitions |}
| are drawn from the Selected Characters Carefully Examined if, 3 i Fa, % dictionary |
| published in 1787, and furnishing good definitions of all the common. characters, whose ‘j if
ancient forms are explained. 3
The end aimed at has been to give the meanings of a word, and to jitaateate them with
| phrases, adding the colloquial uses where they could be ascertained. The limited extent to.
| which I have carried this part, has only served to show more strikingly how much there is
still to do, and how many collaborators are needed to do it effectually. When local dic- |
tionaries of the leading dialects have been published like those issued in the Canton, —
Amoy, and Fubchau dialects, it will be possible to compare the local usages of characters,
and learn their differences from the authorized definitions. Many expressions now wc |
-as unwritten will probably then be found to have once had proper characters since
forgotten. ;
In such a comparison of dialects the natives have done nothing ; for few or none sof is
colloquial meanings are given in the local dictionaries of those three cities, though one would.
have supposed that their principal object and benefit would be to illustrate the local usages of
words, The literati, however, despise all such inroads upon classical usage, and except in the
kwan hwa, the colloquial has never received their attention. This is not to be wondered at, and —
probably it has been the only way to maintain the purity, if not the sense, of the written. a
character and language ; for confusion would soon arise by using local characters instead of |
authorized ones. When the knowledge of books increases, and men ean rapidly pass ; and |
repass across the country, the kwan hwa will, perhaps, become more uniformly and widel
used, and the local dialects, like those once current in parts of England and France, gradu y | i
give way to it ; or else, the wider diffusion of knowledge will compel the people

tion, and of expression in other descriptive terms of the same language. . This may be true of artificial words—

he only in mutual combination and interdependence with other words. They change their force with every new
on into which they enter; and consequently, their meanings are as various and exhaustless as the permutations

the different uses of the same word, but the variety of material bewilders the student, and |

difficulties in the way of making a complete Anglo-Chinese lexicon, There is, asa prelimi- |

The misuse of words in passing from one dialect to another can be illustrated by the
name given to the people of Swatow. This was hok-ld, pia 4% 7.e. people from Fubkien ;
but when the Cantonese heard hok-ld, they wrote it as they heard the sound, # 4# being now
the name given to the people of that prefecture, and the Cantonese of the present day-puzzle
themselves to know why it was applied to them. No Chinese scholar has examined these
dialectical changes, which are an ample source of many colloquialisms in every dialect.
I have followed Errat’s Hand-book of Buddhism, F. P. Surra’s Materia Medica, and
Hosson’s Medical Vocabulary, for terms in those branches. Mr. Wapr’s Category of T%en
and his Course of Colloquial Chinese, Epxixs’ Grammar of the Shanghai Dialect and his
Progressive Lessons in the Chinese Spoken Language, Mactay and Batpwin’s Dictionary of
the Foochow Dialect, Leacx’s Translation of the Chinese Classics, and Bripgman’s Chresto-
mathy, have all furnished their quotas. I have not, however, mentioned my authorities
in the body of the work, lest I should cumber it. The examples and phrases number about
53,000, and are not repeated when it could be avoided ; nor is their pronunciation added,
for as the work is intended for students in all the dialects, cach will read them in
the one he is learning. A space is left under each character, if one wishes to write the
local sound beside the Pekingese, which has been carefully revised by Rev. Cuauncey
Goopricu. The colloquial use of a character is placed by itself. Mactay’s Dictionary is
the authority for the few given in the Fuhchau dialect, and my Canton Dictionary for that
dialect. For the Shanghai dialect, I am indebted to Miss Lypta M. Fay, of the American
Episcopal Mission ; and also for the Shanghai sounds given in the Index, and — what
involved far more work, —a careful oversight of the manuscript before it went into the
printer's hands. The Amoy sounds in the Index were furnished by Rev. W. S. Swanson
and Rev. W. McGrecor. The long list of surnames owes most of its accuracy and extent
to Rev. Dr. Buoperr of Peking; and the careful revision of the proof-sheets of the
Introduction and Index by Mr. A. Wyum has contributed everything to their accuracy.
Other friends have aided in whatever way they could, by whom during the progress of the
work many points have been cleared up.
The number of characters in this work is 12,527, contained in 10,940 articles, and
placed under 522 syllables, which follow each other alphabetically, aspirated syllables com-
ing after the unaspirated. Those syllables which begin with ts, on account of their number,
are placed by themselves after tw'an. When a character is described as unauthorized, it
merely means that it does not occur in K‘anghi, for several of those thus designated are in
good use. The edition of the Wu-fang Yuen Yin, which I have followed, has 10,486 characters,
including scores of duplicates ; but the full edition contains 41,247 words, or nearly as many
as arein K‘anghi’s Dictionary. I have brought together all the sounds and meanings of

| a word under its most common sound, in order to avoid repeating the character. The
| characters in Morrisoy’s Dictionary are arranged under 411 syllables, (not distinguishing
between aspirated and unaspirated sounds,) and their total number, including hundreds of
duplicates, is 12,674. In Dz Guieyss’ Dictionary there are 13,933, of which 1040 are
duplicated forms ; in the Canton Dictionary, 7850; in the Fuhchau Dictionary, 9390 ;
and in GonNgALVES, 7670.
The tables scattered through the book will serve to elucidate many points oceurring in
the course of study, and save reference to other works. They are placed as follows :-—

The Introduction is designed to furnish some explanations respecting the scope of the
| work, the orthography employed, the construction of characters, and such hints and helps
in commencing the study of the language as practice has proved to be useful. Those
paragraphs respecting the affinities between the general spoken language and the south-
eastern dialects, are short and imperfect compared with the subject, but may lead to some-
thing fuller. The whole subject of comparison of dialects has not been worked out, because
| there are not sufficient data on which to found either reasoning or deductions. The short
lists of dialectical sounds prefixed to each syllable, may furnish starting points to students
at various parts, to mark the local differences from the Wu-fang Yuen Yin.
In concluding these remarks, I have the satisfaction of feeling that the labor spent
upon this work during the past eleven years, in the intervals of official duties, -will now be
available for students in acquiring the Chinese language. Its deficiencies will be hereafter
supplied by others who will build upon their predecessors as I have done ; for the field is
too vast to be explored or exhausted by even many laborers. The stimulus to past effort,
and the hope that it would not be in vain, both sprang from the desire to aid the labors
of those who are imparting truth in any branch to the sons of Han, especially those
religious and scientific truths whose acquisition and practice can alone Christianize
and elevate them. At the end of the forty years spent in this country in these pursuits,
I humbly thank the good Lord for all the progress I have been permitted to see in
this direction, and implore His blessing upon this effort to aid their greater extension.

SECT, I. —-THE MANDARIN DIALECT AS EXHIBITED IN THE WU-FANG YUEN YIN.
Tue speech of the great body of the educated classes
among the Chinese, called by them the kwan hwa "% Gf
or Official Language, and known as the Court or Man-
darin Dialect, is spoken throughout the regions north of
the Yangtsz’ River, without much variation in its idiom
and grammatical construction, and very extensively in
the provinces south of it, except in Fuhkien and Kwang-
tung, to such a degree as to make it the prevailing speech
in sixteen of the provinces. In most parts of the two
above-named prov the vernacular presents so many
variations from it in those two respects, that educated men
are obliged to specially learn to speak the wan hwa, in
addition to the general study of the characters, in order
to carry on oral intercourse with their educated country-
men at the north. This peculiarity of the Chinese
language,—that of having many sounds for the same
symbol, like the different names of the Arabic numerals
among European nations, probably at first attached also
to the Egyptian symbols; but the phonetic element there
triumphed at last over the symbolic, and the Egyptian
became finally an alphabetic language. Not so with the
Chinese written language ; this still maintains its ideo-
graphic character, and is now used as the written medium
for the intercourse of more human beings than any other.
The forms and significations of the symbols, too, have
altered so slightly that inscriptions a thousand years old
are read without difficulty, and books written thirty cen-
turies ago are daily quoted as good authority both for
style and for precept. 4
It is not surprising, perhaps, that such an ideographic
language as this was invented; for the first thought of
one who tries to write an idea, is more likely to be to
i picture it than to attempt to express the sounds by which
it is spoken.. The greater wonder is that it should have
lasted so long, and exerted such an influence in per-
petuating and unifying the people who use it. Nations
Who wrote in alphabetic languages were, it may be, not
hear enongh, or civilized enough, to influence the very
early Chinese, so as to fairly place the question before
them of adopting an alphabetic language instead of their
own; but after the introduction of Budhism, and the ex-
| tension of the Imperial power of Han as far west as the
Caspian Sea, this point must have presented itself to many
minds. But no trace can be found of any serious effort
| on the part of native Chinese, to discard the characters
' and reduce their own speech to an alphabetic form in
| Devanagari, Persian, or any other character. In the ages
| succeeding the introduction of Budhism down to the
aso this symbolic language has maintained itself
atact. This is owing, more than any other one cause,
to the difficulty that minds, long trained to associate
ideas with separate pictorial symbols, find in associating
them with combined symbols or letters, expressing only
sounds. Educated Chinese are ready to acknowledge
that other nations can write down their speech by letters,
and understand it perfectly; but they have been trained
so thoroughly to trast chiefly to the eye, to obtain the
full meaning of an expression, that nothing else will
serve. The laconism and energy of their written language
over their spoken, tends too to confirm them in this habit,
and prevent a fair trial of an easier mode of conveying
thought. To a true disciple of Confucius, the notion that
his teachings can be conveyed in any other form than the
very characters le wrote them in, is almost preposter-
ous ;—it is stronger than the feeling among Moham-
medans that Arabic is the only language fit for the
Koran, and has more to support it. Butin these days,
this question will come to the front with increased power ;
and the difficulty of using such a cumborous medium to
introduce new ideas on every subject, among millions of
ignorant people, will force a solution. At present, their
language seems to be the greatest intellectual obstacle to
the advancement of the Chinese; but naturally, they will
not reject it until they themselves see the need of another
and easier; and vital Christianity alone can furnish the
stimulus, guide, and reward of such a change.
It is not designed here to enter into a disquisition on
the many interesting points connected with the ongim,
construction, and modifications of these characters; or to
discuss the inception and growth of the great variety of
sounds now given to the same character in various parts
of the land. The present object is to furnish the student

INTRODUCTION,
with such explanations as will facilitate his use of this
Dictionary, and aid his progress in acquiring the written
and spoken language.
The Chinese have adopted three modes of arranging
the characters in their dictionaries, each of which has its
special advantages. These are, the natural method, in
which words of a similar meaning are grouped under
leading heads;—the analytic method, by which words are
arranged under certain determinatives called keys or
radicals ;—and the syllabic or rhyming method, by which
words fall into certain classes according to their ter-
minations.
Of the first kind, the 7 HE or Ready Guide, is the
best known, and first in age of philological works extant
in any language. This ancient relic is usually ascribed
to Chenu Kung, about-.c. 1100, but it was completed
by Tsz‘hia, a disciple of Confucius, nearly seven hundred
years after; and remodeled into its present shape by
Kweh F‘oh, about a.p. 280. It is still in constant use,
and ils quaint illustrations and archaic expressions illus-
trate both the ancient manners and language of the
Chinese. It is divided into nineteen sections, some having
several subdivisions, containing for the most part a natural
arrangement of characters under the sixteen heads of kin-
dred, houses, utensils, music, heaven, earth, mounds, hills,
waters, plants, treed, insects, fishes, birds, and wild and
domestic animals. These are preceded by a more strictly
philological part in three sections, explaining ancient
terms, words, and phrased, The first section gives the first,
and almost the only attempt at a treatise on synonyms
in the Chinese language, but it is too meager to be useful
to the foreigner. For instance, the character 4& is de-
fined by the following group of words, ¢, 4} ji, A, WF.
BH, GB. GH. and FH, each of them in certain cases having
the meaning of announcing, enjoining on, &c.; but there
are no examples of their use. The work is now reckoned
as the last of the Thirteen Classics.
Tt has had many imitations, which, though much modi-
fied, have generally assumed the form of encyclopedias of
greater or less extent. One of the most useful of these
classified dictionaries is the valuable = + [&] #F or
Pictorial Book of Nature, published in the Ming Dynasty
in 106 chapters; wherein various objects belonging to
Heaven, Earth and Man, are treated of under sections
like those in the Leady Guide, and every article has its
own picture and explanatory letterpress. Useful as this
class of books is to furnish materials for the lexicographer,
the cumbersome arrangement forbids their general use as
definers of characters.
The second, or analytic plan has grown out of the con-
struction of the characters. When a writer wishes to
express a new term, the genius of the language leads him
to unite a symbol denoting sense, with another expressing
sound rather than quality ; though sound and quality ave
sometimes both attended to in the composition of the new
symbol, the phonetic part not being used simply or al-
together for its sound. It has also a signification of its
own, and issometimes so chosen that that shall farnish
part of the idea to be conveyed by the new character;
though this remark has many exceptions. or instance,
in Pekingese, & the nose, joined to ¥E a dag, means tho
nose stopped up by a cold; it is read nang’, in a different
tone from nang, its primitive, but evidently alluding to it.
As the number of characters increased, they were grouped
by their natural or most prominent feature; thus the
names of stones, birds, or armor, were ranged under the
symbols #7, or 3, or -&, these being common characters
for those things already in use.
The earliest work on this principle is the 3 4 or
Discourse on Meaning of Words; published about a.p.
100, wherein the characters are arranged in 514 groups.
Theywere reiirranged by Ku Yé-wang of the Sui dynasty
(A.D. 543), under 542 radicals; and again in the Sung
dynasty by another writer under 544. In the Ming
dynasty, the compiler of the Fy & AX HE or Origin of
of the Six Modes of Writing, reduced them to 360; and
about a century after, they were fixed at their present
number of 214 in the = 4 or Classification of Cha-
racters. This method of grouping characters, and arrang-
ing those placed under each radical by the number of their
strokes, has proved to be so convenient, that no altera-
tion has since been made in their order or number. It
was adopted in the JF = 3 or Explanations of
Authorized Characters, the J BG = Hk or Emperor
K‘anghi’s Dictionary, and the 3h ca a or Selected
Characters Carefully Examined, three of the most com-
mon dictionaries now in use.
The third, the syllabic or rhyming plan of arranging
characters by their finals and tones, was adopted later
than the analytic, but has been more extensively used.
The confusion and diversity found amidst the works in
each of these three classifications, prove the inherent
difficulty of the attempt; but the readiness with which
general and local rhyming vocabularies are made, proves
too, their adaptability to meet a want, and the tendency
of the language towards an alphabetic arrangement.
The number of finals, at first 206 in the T'ang dynasty,
was reduced to 160 in the Sung, and the initials were
thirty-six. Subsequently these were reiirranged and re-
duced by various authors, but all adhered to the mode
of combining initials and finals brought from India by the
Budhist priests Shiin-yoh Pf #4 and Shin-kung jf Fk,
during the Liang dynasty, Ap. 510. The fi 4 HH JF,
probably the largest dictionary in any language of the
world, is arranged on this rhyming principle. and alf the
local vocabularies,

| in its turn requires to be more accurately sounded, by com-
"paring it with a third. To him the words 3 or J are
{| indivisible simplo sounds or names, as @ or 0 are to us;
but we describe them as li or fung— words of two or
four letters. If an Englishman tinds himself at fault
' in trying to read Spanish or Welsh correctly, because he
pronounces the words according to his own letters ;—and
| those people are still more perplexed, perhaps, when they
|| try to read English according to their own letters, while all
use a common alphabet to express elementary sounds ;—
how much more awkward does the Chinese philologist
| find it to express unknown syllables by known syllables.
| The plan now adopted is to express the sound by taking
parts of two other words and combining them. For in-
stance, the sound of Hp is expressed by uniting 4¢ and
to make #p, te. fu and w-dn to make fan, or as we
should express it, dropping two out of the five letters, and
uniting the rest to form the new word. But as the
gounds of all three characters may be unlike in different
of the country, the next thing is to quote another
character of the same sound, as 18, to indicate this one.
|| This difficulty of accurately exhibiting the sound is seen
|i in the variety of characters quoted in K*anghi’s Diction-
|) ary, which have been used by lexicographers to combine
|| and express the sound of the characters they were defin-
|} ing; and this new sound, in its turn, is sometimes used to
~ #} express the very sound of those characters used in writing
its own. The following directions for the native student to
find a character in the Wu-fang Yuen Yin will illustrate
the dilemma both teacher and scholar feel in this respect,
|| and in order to show it more clearly, only the tones are
ae tl given, and not the pronunciation of the characters.
j “Suppose a man wishes to find the character Pg it 3 he runs the
word through the five tones, Ff Bi “f WL, which as it has
the same final with Jk, P= 5 ‘Fe, Ee, enables him [to perceive
that it is to be looked for under the PF final. Turning then to the
table of initials, he sees that it belongs to the light-lip sounds
( & H). and runs it oyer, saying <Ff> wie Te: x, «Jal.
and ascertains that it comes under the initial Jal: Now this character
f Bh as an initial, is known because it is derived from, ZT. 3 by
coalescing them in spelling, as ah FARE we thus get < Bl FP;
Fj; [all under the same initial, and the last one] Fy Se
’, #5, has all the five tones complete. .This is the warp
jee) way, and it can also be called the lengthwise (He) rule.
_ “But if one wishes a shorter way to find this same character
LH} let him run over the sounds Fe S$: Bie. Fi Bh,
and he will immediately perceive that it comes under the sound
ie the fourth of the finals ; looking there he will see it arranged
among the characters under ¢ JBL, the first one in the shang pring
tone, ‘This is the woof (He) way, or it can also be called the cross-
wise (Fig) rule. This warp and woof way is certain, and there is no
more conyenient and direct manner of ascertaining the sounds e¢
characters than by thus following them along and across. Al! cther
sounds can be ascertained in the same way.”
Tt would be just as impossible for a Chinese, able only
to speak his own language, to learn how to find a cha-
racter from these directions if he desired to learn to read,
as it would be for a foreigner who had just landed, anc.
could not speai a word, Both of them must learn the
sounds of the characters from a living voice; both must,
so to speak, be introduced viva voce to the acquaintance
and name of the character, as they would to the name of
a visitor, or a row of flowers. The impossibility of writ-
ing foreign sounds with Chinese characters, so that native
scholars can thereby read the words and study the books
of other languages, is thus seen in its full difficulty; no
doubt, it has had much to do with the isolation of this |]
race, and the formation of their national characier. ‘The
student in every other civilized nation can study foreign
languages through his own; but however well a Chinese
may read or speak the English language, for example, .
he cannot open its treasures to his countrymen by a
grammar or praxis, so that one of them could, otherwise
unaided, read or learn it. The Budhists tried to iatroduce
the prayers of their religion from India to their fellow-
disciples in China, using the Chinese characters ;- the
result was only a rude trausliteration of the Sanscrit
sounds, to which the meanings were originally given ;
these sounds are still recited but their sense is mostly
lost. It is safe to say that their symbolic language has
shut out the people of this land from mental intercourse
with their fellow-men more than any oiler one cause.
Foreigners have also arranged their dictionaries on
three different plans. One is the analytic mode, under
the 214 radicals, as has been done by De Guignes,
Morrison, Medhurst, and Lobscheid ; or according to an
abridged series of radicals, as elaborated by Gongalves.
Another is the phonetic, adopted only by Callery in the
Systema Phoneticum, in which he grouped characters by
their primitives. The third is the syllabic, in which the
characters follow one another alphabetically, as has been
done by Morrison, Medhurst in his’ Hokkéen Dictionary,
Maclay and Baldwin, Goddard, Douglas, and Williayps
It is the plan followed in the present work, and is on
the whole the most useful tothe foreign student, for it
brings together homophonous characters, arranged in the
order of their tones. Such are most frequently inter-
changed and mistaken by the people themselves, and
those which a foreigner has most need of discriminating

INTRODUCTION,
He is certain in speaking, at first, to confound words of
different tones, but written with the same letters, as yen
HP] smoke; yen FF words; yer? He a swallow, which
are widely separated by their construction. A. native also
usually confuses characters having the same tone; and if
all such are grouped together, their similarities and dis-
tinctions are more readily seen. Another advantage is
the facility thereby afforded to the foreigner, who is
learning-the language with the help ofa native teacher,
to find the word he hears, which he knows not yet in its
written form, or may not have had correctly given to him.
Further, the synonymous forms of the same character,
which are sometimes alike as to their primitive, as }ijf and
Jf and 4; or perhaps, more frequently occur under the
same radical, as pp, iq, BR, Bit, can, in the sylla-
bic arrangement, all be seen at once. The addition of
an index where every character is placed under its proper
radical and stroke, furnishes all the aid required to find
it, when the spelling is not known. The Chinese have
neyer added a radical index to any of their syllabic dic-
tionaries, for such a help would be quite useless, unless
to indicate the page on which a character occurred. The
native who wishes to examine the lccal vocabulary in
another dialect must, therefore, first learn the system of
initials and finals on which it is planned, or trust to a
native of the locality where it is used.
The groundwork of the present Dictionary is the Wu-
fang Yuen Yin Fi. FF FU HF or Original Sounds of the
Five Regions, 7c. North, South, East, West and Center,
which denote all the land. It is a vocabulary of the
Court Dialect much used in Central and Northern China.
It was first published in 1700, about the same date that
the literati employed by K‘anghi had finished the The-
saurus and Lexicon which reflect so much credit on his
reign ; and, perhaps, was suggested by the former of those
works. ‘The editions have been numerous and all exhibit
slight variations in the arrangement of certain characters.
An earlier work of the same sort had, however, appeared
in the 13th century,—the f+ Jet - HA or Original Sounds
and Finals in Chinese, in which the characters are ar-
ranged under nineteen finals; and it would have been
better if the compiler of the present work had followed: it
in this respect. A third book, the rf Jf] Ay #A or Com-
plete Finals for Central China, presents the characters
arranged according to the several organs of the voice, as
dental, lingual, palatal, guttural, &c.; but, as this system
involves more attention to the initial than the others, it has
not obtained so wide a circulation.
The definitions given in the Wu-fang Yuen Yin seldom
consist of even a score of words ; but this brevity was in-
Cispensable for the general usefulness of the manual, where
only the principal meanings were needed. A translation
of the preface of the edition of 1710 is nere inserted ; but
loos
it gives no information about the reasons for the work, or
to what part of the empire it is applicable. It is a fair
sample of the style of prefaces to Chinese books, wherein
one looks in vain for information or practical directions.
PREFACE TO THE EDITION OF 1710.
Those who heretofore engaged in the preparation of dictionaries
did, as they should, carefully learn and go through the classics and
all the miscellaneous writings of noted scholars. The number of these
works, advantageons tu learners, is not easy to reckon ; some of them
are still preserved, and others have been quite lost; the former are,
to this day constantly in the hands of learners, but the latter are, to
the great regret of all, gone utterly, and cannot be described. Of
these the = 4% or Study of Characters is one. Books of this kind
are not of equal worth, but among those which have of late years been
in use; and are still regarded by all scholars as precious as an officer's
signet, the = apt or Classification of Characters stands preéminent.
In this work the characters are arranged in classes according to their
strokes, find when one has ascertained the number, he can then find
the one he seeks. No one can do without it ; the venerable professor
and old student, as well as the tyro and young learner, each and all
need it.
But these persons still do not all know that the book called Wu-
Sang Yuen Yin, a work in which the combination of the [initial and
final] sounds can be seen at a glance is even superior in some respects
tothe =F ag. Its compiler is Fan Tang-fung ak is JEL of Yao-
shan x IL] in the district of T*ang-shan iE Wy GF in the south
of Chibli. This book not being often seen in the shops, I rather un-
expectedly met with it. On looking it over closely, and examining
its plan and execution, I was surprised at the carefulness displayed.
The plan of the = ag depends on the number of strokes in a cha-
racter, but this on their sounds,
‘There is besides the planon which [this manual is arranged], that
followed in the Fy #, viz., grouping together things belonging to
heaven, both single and in pairs, but not going beyond the dual
powers and the five elements, so that the five elements are under the
head of heaven, the five regions under that of earth, and the five tones
under that of sounds. Such a work only requires the redundancies
to be removed and the four or five tones to be carefully indicated to
make it complete. But then this arrangement [of the WA i)
is really a natural one, and not one which man made ont (or can
alter).
In this work the author has selected the twelve finals HA H
with reference to the twelve musical pitch-pipes, and the five funda-
mental tones of voice; and these with the twenty initials FE he
has chosen, make the warp and the woof, the lengthwise and tle
crosswise ; by combining these according to his rules, one can find
the sound of any character. If one wishes to practice the combination
of sounds, and counts over the 36 finals on his fingers, he will find
the plan here adopted very much easier ; it is like an essay in which
ouly the ideas are wanted, or an agreement which has only the bare
stipulations. In the Canon of Shun it is said, ‘‘Notes depend on
prolonging the utterance, and they are harmonized among themselves
by the pitch-pipes.” If one will carefully examine this work, they
will find that this principle has been observed. Original sounds may

Those who may daily use this work: will at a glance so readily see | 19, Tj Fi includes t-ui HE, tsi i, 8’ Bi rh Th
the mode of combining the initials and finals, that they can have no
need of rules. But how then is one to find out characters when only
the number of their strokes is known? I myself really regret the
number of those books which have been lost, leaving only the = ip
Classification of Characters preserved.
& In the spare moments of my public business, I have got out a re-
vised edition of this work for the booksellers; aud perhaps it will
thus get a wide circulation ; but those scholars who carefully use it
will most certainly find many things to add to it.
September, 1710, Written by Nien Hi-yao of Kwang-ning, a
district in Manchuria. :
This same man, Nien Hi-yao, afterwards enlarged the
book until he had introduced nearly all the characters in
the language. He published it in 1728, in four thin
volumes, and several editions have since been printed ; its
extensive list of characters makes it a useful manual. In
the preface he says that, when compared with the first
edition, he has “ added five out of every ten chayacters,
and expunged one out of every ten.”
In arranging the initials and finals, the compilers of
the Wu-fang Yuen Yin sacrificed accuracy to brevity, and
hindered the ready search for a character, in order, ap-
parently, to make a short list of finals for the memory.
Its twenty initials are actually thirty-six, and the twelve
finals expand to twenty-nine in the table of sounds; or to
thirty-eight if those in the juh-shing be reckoned sepa-
rately. The characters in this tone, which in Cantonese all
come under the first four finals, are here transferred to the
last six finals ; “because,” says the compiler, with trul y
Chinese logic, “the first six finals (ren, dn, ung, ang, iu,
and ao) are light and clear like heaven, and it is not
suitable to mix with them the heavy and gross sounds of
the juh-shing, which are therefore scattered among the
last six finals (u, 0, é, a, ai, and 7), these being gross and
thick like earth, and assimilated to the juh-shing, which
therefore are distributed among them.”
# LIST OF TWELVE FINALS.
' The finals are represented by the following twelve
characters, which include fourteen others, and twelve in
the juh-shing, making thirty-eight, according to our mode
of writing.
1. T-ien FE includes t-an J} and k-dees [E.
2. J-in J, includes p-in
3. L-ung ff includes l-ing ‘$f and l-ding WF.

ing those having a medial vowel.

Tf all the possible combinations of these initials and
finals existed in the ‘wan hwa, there would be 1368 syl-
lables, exclusive of tonal variations, to be written with
our letters ; but the actual number of groups is 4.60, and
of these several are almost undistingnishable. Thera is
some difficulty about dividing words having the termina-
tions wa, wan, and waug, for the Chinese regard them as
finals; and some other deviations from the native rules
are also required by the exigencies of an alphabetic
system when applied to their spelling. Some of them are
caused by the medial vowel ¢ as shen for shien J%,—
(spelled FF ¥if sh-i len); and others by the imperfect
vowels, as ¢sz’ for tsi f+, to distinguish it from zi 9g,
but in this, the greater accuracy of alphabetic writing is seen.
The following table includes the combinations of ini-
tials and finals in the Wu-fang Yuen Yin, with a leading
character under each syllable, and also shows the juzh
WOHIAAX
'| shing in separate columns, making 532 words in all. The
actual variations in speech from the given sounds in this
manual are almost endless; but it is as needless as it is
impossible to ascertain and try to express them all. Each
student will learn them for himself.

INTRODUCTION.
Tn the Canton dialect, according to the local vocabu-
lary, there are 53 finals and 23 initials, producing only
707 different words to be written in an alphabetic list,
including those ending in the juh shing.
In the Fuhchau dialect, there are only 83 finals and
15 initials enumerated. But the real number of finals is
increased by remarkable inflections of words falling
in the upper and lower juh shing, so that Maclay and
Baldwin's Dictionary enumerates 90 finals, and gives 928
syllables, of which scores are colloquial.
The dialeet spoken in and about Changcheu, near
Amoy, is exhibited in the -- F, 7 or Fifteen [initial]
Sounds, It has 15 initials and 50 finals, which produce
846 syllables, including the modifications of the juh shing ;
the number of distinct enunciations in that dialect in-
cluding all tonal modifications, is not far from 2500,
according to Medhurst ; and this is nearly the number
spoken in Fuhchau. According to Douglas’ Amoy Dic-
tionary, the variations heard in the two prefectures of
Changchau and Tsiienchau much exceed this number.
In the Swatow dialect, and that heard in the south-
eastern part of Kwangtung, which has much affinity with
- Amoy, the number of separate syllables, as given in
Goddard’s Manual is 674, less than either of the
these preceding. The dialect known as the Hakka
dialect, spoken best in Kia-ying cheu, has not been so
much studied as those, but it has marked peculiarities,
and approaches nearer to the Awan hwa than either of them.
The speech heard at Shanghai and Ningpo, and
throughout Kiangsu and Chebkiang, assimilates still more
to the wan Awa in its idiom and pronunciation, which is
probably the reason why no native vocabulary has been
published in it. The Rey. C. Keith, of the American
Episcopal Mission had prepared a copious vocabulary of
the Shanghai dialect ready for printing, but it was lost.
A carefully prepared list of syllables in the Shanghai
dialect, by the late Dr. Jenkins, contains 660 words ;
and he reckons 33 initials and 44 finals as competent to
combine all the sounds init. The speech beard at Su-
chau and Hangchan differs but litt'e from that at Shang-
hai and Nivgpo.
The fwan hwa spoken at Peking, and indeed with
inconsiderable variations in the provinces of Chihli and
Shantung, has received much attention from Mr. Wade.
In the Hsin Ching Lu he enumerates 25 initials and 43
finals, and places the number of distinct syllables at 397 ;
in the T'2t-erh-chi, he has retained the initials and finals,
and increased tbe syllables to 420; which probably in-
cludes nearly all the distinct words used by the people.
It is much less than in any of the preceding dialects, and
not one half of the variety heard at Fulchau, which is to
be ascribed chiefly to the suppression of the juh shing.
The number of initials given by Mr. Wade is 25 instead
of 86 as in the preceding table, as he follows more strictly
the Chinese mode in the arrangement of words in the
initials chw, kw, hw, &c., putting them under the finals
beginning with-«; which thereby correspondingly in-
creases their number. It is not easy to decide which is
the best way. in an alphabetic arrangement. Ea

SECT. II,—SYSTEM
Tf the difficulties of illustrating and analyzing the
sounds in their language are almost insurmountable to
Chinese philologists, the results of the various attempts
of foreigners to do so have not the less proved the in-
herent difficulties of the attempt; and a comparison of
their various systems does not encourage the hope that
anything like uniformity will ever be attained. In
addition to the different powers given to vowels and
consonants by English, French, and Portuguese sinologues,
when used to express the same Chinese sound, each in
their own tongue, as wu, ou, and u for Fy ; or wun, ouen,
and ven for WZ, we have a most troublesome discrepancy
in the modes of writing the same sound in the same
language, especially in English, i which more has been
written than in all the others. Not to quote many
instances of strange spelling, as tadge-in for Jo J\ tain ;
see-ue for pa su; Iiouct for ff hid; taa-mau for Fy
OF ORTHOGRAPHY.
ngan, é&c., the more elaborate systems devised for writing
the sounds in the mandarin and local dialects, present a
series of perplexing anomalies and variations hard to
understand, and which renders it difficult for a person who
has studied one dialect to learn the sounds in another.
The Protestant missionaries at Amoy and Ningpo have
published thousands of volumes in those dialects in a
romanized colloquial, which they teach in their schools ;
but a native of Ningpo, able to read it with ease and
understanding, would find himself completely nonplussed
if he tried to read the Amoy colloquial according to
the sounds he had learned at home. The natives of the
two cities are unable to converse with each other in any
case, but previous consultation among the missionaries
would, perhaps, have Jed them to adopt a similar mode
of writing the vowels, diphthongs, and consonants common
to both, before these beginnings of new alphabetic Jan-
ta ma ; czzi cio for fi Fe Inich-kwo ; tar-garn for KF ta- | guages had been laid.

INTRODUCTION,
xix.
The embarrassments of recognizing the Chinese cha-
racters when written in alphabetic letters, were noticed
by De Guignes in 1813, before they had reached their
present diversity. Speaking in his Dictionary of his
changes in P. Basile’s system of orthography, he remarks,
“T have just explained the reasons which have Jed me to
suppress certain letters and to simplify the orthography,
and now add a table to show thechanges, so that readers
can recognize the same words in different- authors. I
refer only to works written by the missionaries, and not
to those issued by other Europeans ; the mode of pronoun-
cing our leiters not being uniform, in Europe it is impos-
sible to give a general rule. In the acceunt of Lord
Macartney’s Voyage, for instance, what the missionaries
write Kien-long-ta-oucng-ty the English write Tehien-lung-
ta-whang-tee. The letter % is certainly aspirated, but it has
not the sound of fei in English; the vowel « of the word
lung is sometimes pronounced o in English, but, it is then
short, and it is long in dong, when it has the meaning it
has in this phrase now quoted; the letter A is needless
in whang, for the word ouang is not aspirated. I will
say nothing about éee, for such an orthography is fit only
for an Englishman.”
In this Dictionary, an attempt has been made to apply
one system of spelling to five different dialects, and
though the result has not been entirely satisfactory, it has
shown that their discrepancies can be reduced to some-
thing like a classification, and their vowels and diphthongs
assimilated much more than has hitherto heen supposed
possible. To this end, it is necessary to permit some
latitude to the value of the simple vowels according to the
consonants which precede and follow them; diphthongs,
too, must have some freedom as influenced by various
consonants. For instance, in dun 4fy and sun #%, the
value of the final wn is altered a little by the initial ; and
when a medial vowel is inserted, as in Zien #28, and sien
7, it is desirable to indicate the change if possible, by a
differently marked vowel. Such diversities as this,
however, cannot all be noted by any system.
4 Jn words ending in some diphthongs, a change in the
initial will throw the syllable into a new class in one
dialect and not in another; thus, 4 §% and méi #fg in
mandarin keep the older forms of Mii and mi in Can-
tonese; but at 'uh-chan, one is read /oi and the otber muir.
This final ¢, unknown in both those cities, in the north
inclines to di and w according to the initial, but both
never have the same initial, as td and tui, pé and put.
The diversities and analogies of this kind among the several
dialects will no doubt in time receive more careful study
than has yet been given to them, but the materials are
at present not svfficient to lay down rules or adduce com-
parisons. But I think that this list is adequate to express
all their sounds with sufficient precision.
The system of writing the sounds now employed is
nearly the same as that formerly followed in the Tonic
Dictionary of the Canton Dialect, as far as that is appli-
cable to kwan hwa. In order to diminish the use of ac-
cented letters, the long @ in father is written a instead of
dé; and this involved the change of the short @ in
quota to dé; and,of du, as ow in howl, to ao; the diph-
thong a, or the English 7, is altered to ed, because the ai
represented the broad sound as in aisle; the terminations
id, idng, 147, and iéh, have also all dropped their accents.
Cther ways adopted by previous writers to express the
same sounds are added, so as to facilitate reference to
their macdes of spelling. ;

One object kept in view in this system has been to
abridge the use of accented letters, to do without which
altogether has by all writers heen found to be impracti-
cable, consistently with accuracy ; and another has been to
adapt the spelling to the use of English readers. How
far these objects have been attained, practice alone will
show ; but it is not an unimportant thing to the student,
how a word is written, for the spelling insensibly affects
his pronunciation. For example, the word #§ is sounded
like jung, or zhung, or rung or zung, by different persons in
Peking; and constantly reading it in one of these modes
confirms him in that pronunciation, while antther mode
will influence another person.
The present attempt to harmonize the sounds of the
five dialects by one system of spelling, has this clement
of error, that I have not been able to consult natives of
Fuhchau or Amoy, and hear their pronunciation. In the
brief list of corresponding sounds given at the head of
every syllable in the Dictionary, there are no doubt both
errors and deficiencies, owing to this disadvantage. Herc-
tofore, each dialect has been spelled without reference to
the sounds in other dialects, and this has caused needless
discrepancies, which become apparent when a comparison
is instituted. For instance, the o in noée is not heard in
the north, where the @ in Jong prevails; while in the south,
this last is rather unusual, and has been the one usually
marked with an accent, though taking the whole country
together it is by far the most common, and the o in note
ought to be marked. In the north, no word like
kim occurs, with ¢ (as in machine) in the middle; and
in the south, no guttural "% begins a word; but the
short ¢ in pin is a thousand times the commonest, and
should be left unaccented. These peculiarities render it
difficult to adapt one system to all the dialects, and
not employ many accented letters in some of them ; but the
thing is not impossible, and with a good degree of accuracy
too. The greater difficulty is to get those who have become
Sr eicasel to their own modes of writing to adopt an-
other more generally speneite A few remarks on the
preceding lists of vowels and consonants will explain the
changes they undergo in various positions.
VOWELS.
1. a.—This occurs in all the dialects ; it is never to
be sounded as in English fan, hat.
2. &—The common use of uv in English as in sun, to
represent this sound has made it a perplexing one to
write ; and the phrase, “‘ The mother bird flutters o’er her
young,” shows that in that language it is very differently
' written. I prefer dé toa, ¢, é, é, or wof other authors, chiefly
because it is less Hable to be mispronounced by the
general reader, except the last. But that letter is needed
to write another sound.
3. e—Along the southern coasis, this yowel is heard
alone before consonants, as meng, kek, veh, but northward
it is usually preceded by 7, as in lien ; when followed by »
it constantly inclines to the sound of a in man, and even
that of @ in far. When used in Zeh, seh, it often changes
its quality according to the succeeding word into 6 or ¢.
4. é—This vowel occasionally occurs at Fuhchau in
the middle of a word, as in héng, ték, before a decided con-
sonant ; and at Shanghai and Swatow, in nasalized words,
as keé, pea; but it is almost always a final, as ché, mé, or
succeeding 7 or i, as tie, hiid.
5. ¢—Thisis rarely heard in the north or at Canton,
but in Kiangsu and southward it is common alone, as in
len, sch, pé ; or more commonly preceded by 7 as in piet,
pien, siek, liéeng; in all these words its tendency is to
broaden out into Zang, sian, as at Amoy and Swatow.
6. 1—This vowel is always written in the middle of a
word, as ming, kik, lin; in the latter class of words it
apparently ends them, but even then the vowel approaches
the next [7], so that wh and pih become # and pi. As
a medial vowel in diphthongs like ia, z, it is one of the
commonest sounds in the language, and undergoes very
little alteration.
7. ¢.—This vowel occurs only at the end of words in
the kwan hwa; but is often heard in their middle in the
southern dialects, as pin, ling, kit, &e., where it will be
more likely to be pronounced aright if accented. I have,
therefore, written it like the last vowel (7) when it isa
final, in order to reduce the number of accented letters,
as the final 7 in English is usually written y as in mighty,
and there is little danger of confusion. Mr. Wade uses
? for both the sounds in ¢ree and crim, apparently to save
accents, and they do run into each other; Maclay trans-
poses ¢and 7, as I write them, to 2 and 7, for the same
reason; but in those southern dialects the medial vowel
in the dipthongs ia, tu, cau, is always short, and thus two
sounds are given to one symbol, which is andesirable.
8. o.— This is the only sound of the vowel in mandarin,
and almost always as a finals but after 2, / and p, in
the southern dialects, it often runs into the next, where it
also oceuts in the middle, as song, lot, kok.
9. 6.—'This sound, as in zofe, is not heard in mandarin,
but, from Shanghai southward, it is so common that it
has usually been left unmarked ; at Fuhchan it iscommon
in yong, siong, loi, &e., occurring in many words which
have an @ at the north. At Amoy and Canton it is less
frequent. ‘To mark such words seems to be more likely
to insure their proper pronunciation, than to expect the
English reader to pronounce tong and to’, as towng and
towy ; though, on the other hand to and pok are more
like to be sounded like toc and poke, than like ‘aw and
XXiL
INTRODUCTION.
pawk. It isa choice of difficulties, but the argument in
favor of writing o and 0 as in long and Jo, is not a little
strengthened by the vast preponderance of the first sound
throughout China.
10. 6—This sound is not often heard in the southern
dialects, but is common in Kiangsu and_ northward,
chiefly as a final; the ¢ in ché, a in tsan, 0 in toh, and u in
zu, each and all run into it in one place or another; in
Chihli, it characterizes words which have a tendency to
become guttural.
11. u—A difficult sound to express uniformly, as it is
so much modified by the letters before and after it, and
runs into the next ; it is never beard as a final, but unites
with @ as a medial, as is noticed under va and w (Nos. 17
and Consonants 27). Maclay writes the sounds w and z%
alike, but they are not the same, and especially in
Cantoncse are kept clearly distinct as in sux, sut, shorter
sounds than soon, soot ; while dvin, kit are like coon, coot ;
in the word sung, the vowel is evidently a prolongation
of sun rather than of dvin. Common readers will no
doubt often mispronounce such words, until they hear
the right sound.
12. 2.—The frequent use of this vowel as a final makes
it desirable to reduce the number of accented words by
leaving it unmarked when in that position, or in the ju
shing, as tu, tuk, where alone it occurs in mandarin, and
marking it in the middle as min, fut. In Canton and
places north of it, there is a tendency to sound this final
as 0 before certain initials, as mo, pd, for mu, pu.
13. &—This vowel sound occurs in all the dialects in
the middle and end of words, as chii, shin, pitt, ngiing,
ul, &e., or following the vowels 7, a, ¢, and ¢, suffering
different modifications with each of them; its tendency
is to run into « (No. 11), but the changes are slight.
It has been generally written in this way.
14. &—This is not found in mandarin, and is net a
common sound. It runs into 6 and ¢ when preceding a
consonant ; itis a common final in Shanghai, and in
Swatow and that region; in Fuhchau it also precedes
other vowels as chivi, sth, nginng; but these combina-
tions are limited to a small district. Some would per-
haps, write it @, which it nearly resembles, had it not
been prolonged as if followed by an 7, as in the English
words turn, bird, her.
DIPHTHONGS.
1, 2, 3. ai, ao, au—These three are almost everywhere
heard only as finals, and the two first form, when pre-
ceded by 4 the common triphthongs, tat and tao. In
Fuhchan, they are followed by 4 or 4, as in pach, pauk.
The third sound is written ow by Wade, but the risk of
mispronouncing words thus written as sco, hoo, aud not
sow, how, owing to the common use of ou by the French
to express a final u, renders au or ew preferable; the
English ow for au is also liable to confusion, as seen in
the sentence, “The vow of flowers now flowed to the
tow-line.” Morrison used ow to express‘both au and 6 (ce.
now and no) in two of his works.
4. ec —This final sound, unknown in mandarin, is
common in Cantonese, where it is carefully distinguished
from di, but the two seem to run into each other further
north, or ¢ is changed to % and No. 5, é.
6. ew.—It is doubtful whether the distinction between
this final and .No. 3 is sufficiently clear to authorize two
forms of writing them ; at the North the pronunciation
of characters like JH cheu, 2} Leu, = sheu, is usually
quicker than the pronunciation of the same words chau,
kau, slau, in Cantonese and other southern dialects.
They are very much alike, however, and the chief reason
for separating them was to indicate this diversity, which
is not a fanciful one.
7. éu.—This sound is rarely heard as a final, and is
most common at Canton; at Fuhchau the second vowel
is often prolonged in #, as séing, while at Canton it is
also shortened into @, and forms one of the most cha-
racteristic sounds in that dialect. wn
10. ie.—This diplthong is unknown at Canton, where
the 7 take its place, as in sin for sien, but reiippears as one
goes north. When followed by x or m, it tarns into cém
or iam, ién or tan at Swatow and Amoy, and ieng at
Fuhchau ; at Ningpo and Shanghai it is again supersed-
ed by i and 2”. In all words having this diphthong
before x, there is difficulty at the south in distinguishing zz
from i; but at the north this difficulty is mostly confined
to those words where the 7 is merged in the other vowel.
11, 12. id, *o—These two have some affinity, but they
do not run into each other; both are oftenest found in the
juh shing, and their variations from the mandarin into
other dialects are so capricious as to be irreducible to
any rules which would be useful.
13, 14. ix, %#—The first of these occurs mostly as a
final in all the dialects, but it is also heard in mandarin
before m in a few words ; the second occurs only in the
middle of words, and then is rather a prolongation of
iu; it is hardly ever heard in Fuhkien or Kwangtung.
15, 16. 07, 6i—Both these diphthongs are confined to
the extreme south, and the latter seems to be peculiar to
Fuhchau ; they are casily distinguished.
17. ua—The distinct sounds of both vowels are often
heard at Swatow and Amoy, like too-an, loo-an ; but else~
where wz (see Consonants No. 27), better represents this
diphthong to the English reader than oa or wa, as they
aro liable to be too much separated.
18. i, w2—The first of these two is most easily
distinguished from the other in those words which
are in the three fizst tones, but as most of the
werds are in the juhk shing, and followed by the

h, they are in practice nearly alike in sound.
19, 20. wi, di—The second of these is distinctly marked
in the Cantonese under initials like 2, ¢, and ts, but they
everywhere glide into each other and into ¢ In Fuh-
chau, they run into ¢and 67, and at Shanghai into ¢, both
of them being everywhere heard as finals.
ANOMALOUS VOWELS.
21, 22. ’m, ’ng.—These two words are heard from
Shanghai southwards in the cv:loquial; they arc really
vowel sounds, and at Amoy they occur preceded by a
consonant, as s'ng, W’m or Jan.
23. "—This nasal sound is unknown at Canton or
Fubchau, but occurs at Swatow and Amoy, and more
frequently at Shanghai; though hardly so marked, and
not found in the middle of a word; the raised ” is pro-
bably its fittest mark, though in the romanized Ningpo
dialect it is undistinguished.
24. 82’, ts2’, de’, 22’. —These four are the on’y forms of
this sibilant ; the first two are common in mandarin and
at Canton, but all are entirely unheard between Swatow
and Fuhchau. The last two are heard mostly at Shang-
hai, and the regions of Kiangsu and Chebkiang.
25. cl’, sh’.—The characters spoken with these pecu-
liar vowels get their full sounds of chi, chi, and shi as
one goes south from the Yangtsz River. The apoco-
pated form is unknown at Canton or at Fuhchau. The
Wu-fang Yuen Yin indicates the full sound of chi and shi
as the standard, and in this work they have, therefore,
been all arranged under those syllables, while the con-
tracted form is placed under each character. It is pro-
bable, that of the two forms chi, shi, and cl’, sh’, the
latier is most generally heard.
26. ’rh.—This sound is seldom heard sou:h of the Méi-
ling, and its pronunciation is uniform; the many foreign
modes of writing it show the difficulty of expressing it
satisfactorily. In Peking, it is often heard as if preceded
by a consonant, as mirh, wrh, fri, &c., which is caused
by the elision of an intermediate final, the full sound
being ming ‘rh BA ij, wan’rh [Rl Ty. fang rh Ja Th, &e.
CONSONANTS.
1. ¢.—A common initial at Swatow and Amoy, but
unknown at Canton or Fuhchau ; it retippears at Shang-
hai in many of the words so spelled at Amoy.
2, 3. ch, ch*.—This initial and 4s, ts‘, are interchanged
so much and so irregularly all over the country, that it is
impossible to follow their variations. In Canton, they
are used as initials very nearly according to the spelling
of the K‘anghi Ts2’tien and Wu-fang Yuen Yin, but as
one goes north, they mingle in a greater or less degree,
and many natives cannot tell them apart. At Swatow
and Amoy, és is heard doubtfully only before «, 0, and u;
but on reaching Fubchau, it is altogether merged in ch;
both reiippear at Shanghai, but mostly applied to a dif-
ferent set of characters, and this interchange continues
more or less along the valley of the Yangtsz’ River.
4,6, 11, 5. d, d., 7,dj—The first two of these initials
are very common around Shanghai ; the last is also heard
there and at Swatow and Amoy, but none of them at
Canton or at Fuhchau, where such words begin with ¢
ory. The digraphdj is preferable to the single y for
writing it, since it is a harsh form of the soft 7 so common
in mandarin, and not so likely to be mispronounced as the
simp'e7 is. At Peking, d is often heard before a@ and u,
and tho initial ¢ often becomes d, and the j runs in‘o 7;
as da for ta, and ran for jan.
7. f—This common initial is unheard oni Swatow
to Fuhchau, 2 almost everywhere taking i's place; it
occurs in all other dialects.
8. g.—This initial easily runs into ng, and their dif-
ferences are sometimes imperceptibie. At Swatow, Amoy
and Shanghai, bo‘h xg and g are ciearly heard as initials ;
at Canton and Fuhchau, the zg is just as plainly spoken
in all words, and none begin with gy. Morrison and Med-
horst wrote g alone for the mandarin, but 7g is more
nearly corveci.
9. h.—This, at the beginning of words, is the same
initial aspirate asin the English words hung, holy ; but
to extend the use of the letter and make it entirely silent in
words beginning with an aspirated d, per ¢ as consonant, as
Medhurst and Douglas have done, is injudicious, owing to
thesounds which p? and th have in Engiish, and which will
always mislead when the uninitiated read them. But to
those who have been long accustomed to the use of
final, as the best sign for expressing the indistinct juh shing,
Wade’s application of it for a few of the Pekingese sounds
in other tones is still more perp’exing and needless. The
characters to which he often applies it as $2. shih, KB chieh,
HR yeh, &c., are never heard in the juh shing, while he
leaves it off in fry ti, FB u, F i, &e. Such use, therefore,
tends to mislead those who are not acquainted with the
local patois, and even to them it is a perplexity.
10. #"—This sound is not heard in the four coast
dialects, in which it drops the sibilant sound, or takes an
initial y, or more rarely an s; it is common at Shanghai.
The digraph is adopted by Meadows and Wade does not
exactly express it, for there is no proper s in the sound, aud
sh is too much ; if one puts the finger between the teeth,
and tries to speak Jing or fii, he will probably nearly
express this sibilant initial. The Spanish 2, as in Quixote,
comes near it, and would be much the best symbol, if it
were not that it would be mispronounced by the com-
mon reader, as in aang #. vin Pp, ke.
12, 13. k, Li —As a final, from Shanghai to Caton:
this consonant always indicates the juhk shing of those
words whose other tones end in xg, as ping, pik; hang,
hak. In Kiangsu, it is often doubtful whether the word

INTRODUCTION.
ends abruptly enough for an 4, or should be written /.
The aspirated initial 4 before 7 and w is one of the difficult
sounds in the mandarin, and is often heard like Zt, ch or
is, and still unlike all these.
14. 1.—Along the southern coast this initial is often
pronounced as 2 before a and 7; not so frequently before
4, 0, or%; but all over China there is a curious inter-
change of the two letters, which perplexes the foreigner. |
At Amoy, 7 often approximates the sound of d.
15. m.—This letter occurs as a final from Canton to
Amoy, in those words which end in in the Awan hwa;
but there seems to be no general rule guiding the change,
as many retain the z. It is unheard at Fubchau and
northward, but reiippears in Kiangsi. As an initial, m
often changes into 6 at Amoy and Swatow.
16. 17. n, ng—These two liquids are employed as
finals in every part of China; but in Amoy and Shanghai,
they often take a nasalized form. As initials, often
interchanges with /; and 7g in the mandarin is elided
into a guttural a or 6, as “Yan, ®96, especially in Chihli;
but this initial is the most capricious of all, and its
changes are irreducible to a general rule.
18. 19. p, p’.—As a final, this letter only occurs in
many parts of the coast provinces south of the Yang-tsz’
River, in the juk shing of those words whose other tones
end in m in Cantonese, as kim, kip. In mandarin such
words always end inn. Asa final, p is unknown from
Fuhbchau northward, but as an initial it generally follows
the mandarin, except in Kiangsu, where it alters into }
in some of the tones before certain vowels.
20. 21. s, sh.—These two initials play the same part
among the Chinese as they seem to have done among
the ancient Israelites, and form a true shibboleth by which
a man’s native place can be detected. They are used at
Canton at the beginning of nearly the same words which
divide them in the Wu-fang Yuen Yin; but from that
city going coastwise to Shanghai, the sk nearly every-
where turns into s or z, and reiippears generally when
further north; there are, however, many exceptions over
this wide range. Between Canton and Macao, for instance,
the sh is changed in many words, as shui 7f¢ becomes
sui; and just the same difference exists between Peking and
Tientsin ; yet in Sz‘hwui hien, a district west of Macao,
most of the words which at Canton begin with s take the sv.
22, 23. t, ¢—This letter occurs as a final in the
same regions with p; and as p always follows words
ending with m, so the ¢ shows the juh shing of words end-
ing in nin the other tones; the modes of variation from
the fourth tone in mandarin into the abrupt consonants 4,
jp and ¢, in the three sonthern dialects, have not been traced
sufficiently to lay down any rules; at Fuhchau, the finals p
and ¢ are not heard. As an initial, ¢ becomesd in certain
{ga in those parts of Kiangsu near the Yangtsz’ River.
24. 25. ts, is'.—These are much interchanged every-
where in China with ch, ch‘; and, in consequence, many
words in this Dictionary will be sought for under one of
them which have been placed under the other. In the
regions from Swatow to Fuhchau, it is entirely superseded
by ch, and in Shanghai is mosily used in those words
which at Canton and Peking begin with cx.
26. v.—This initial is heard chiefly in the Yangts2
valley, where it begins words elsewhere commencing
with f or w. It is unknown at Canton or Peking, and
the regions around those cities.
27. w, wa, kwa.—This letter is employed as an initial
consonant in this work, as in wang, wan. The Chinese
spell words beginning with cw, sw, &., as ku-wang for
kwang, su-wai for swan, &c., where the medial yowel is
so closely joined with the initial, that it is more distinct
for us to make the initial out of both. Others, however,
treat them as separate. Wade and Goddard use w as in
shuo Hf, suan GF, &e.; De Guignes and Donglas use 9,
as hoang Fm, hoat #€, d&c.; but the general method has
been to use w, and regard the letters skw or fw as the
initial. The medial vowel is itself modified by the preced-
ing consonant, and after ¢ or p it is much more distinct -
than after % or 4; but an Englishman is less likely to
misread a word written /wan or gwat, than if it be written
quan or loan, guat or goat. Besides which, as stated above,
the diphthong wa is more distinctly heard at Amoy and
Swatow in many words ending with a vowel as sua, p"ua.
In Fubchau and Amoy, the initials ch9, h, k, 1, m,n, ng, p
and s are followed by w ; 7.e. by this medial vowel, making
this class of initial more frequent there than elsewhere; at
Canton, éw is the only initial of this kind, and gw, hw
and kw at Shanghai. Though the Chinese divide by the
initial consonant, as 26 4 to-kwan for Pig twan, their
ignorance of alphabetic writing makes their practice no
guide to our mode of expressing such sounds; and the use
of w is attended with the least risk of mispronunciation.
28. y.—This letter is used only as a consonant in this
_ work. De Gnignes used y to express the final ¢ and
i, as in ky §j and tsay FR; and some others write the
short 7 in the diphthongs ze, ia, &c., with it. At Ningpo
it has been thus employed, and when the 7 is doubled, as
in nting, nth, the use of y, as in nying, nyth, is perhaps
preferable. In Peking, some words beginning with y
change it into 7 before u and d, as rung for yung,
ruch for Fj yueh; but it is an exceptional deviation.
29.80. 2, 2i.—The initial < begins many words at
Shanghai and Ningpo which elsewhere begin with ¢s or
s, and forms a marked feature of the speech of that
region ; it is unknown in Fubkien, and is limited in other
directions as in Kiangsi and Nganhwui. ‘The initial ¢/ is
a change from / in Peking and its vicinity, but does not
extend very far, as it is unknown in Shantung.
INTRODUCTION.
XXV.
Those words which commence with ch, chw, k, kw, p,
t, tw, t8, tsw, are, according to our spelling, divided into
aspirated and unaspirated characters, but the Chinese
philologists see no connection between them. Indeed
they have no well-understood name for a hard breathing
like an aspirate, and the usual term [ff 9& is of foreign
origin, which no native scholar can understand without
| explanation. In alphabetic writing, when the aspirate
begins the word, as hang fj, hwang 3, it is plainly
marked by the letter 4 alone, which distinguishes ang
from hang, and wang from hwang. But if this letter be
written after other consonants, especially p or ¢, the word
is liable to be mispronounced as phing (jing) ZB, or
thing $8, at least by Englishmen. De Guignes used it
in words like Ahoueng 3%, ichhouang il, thsiouan He ; but
a Frenchman would not err in this way. He was fol-
lowed by Medhuist, who in order to avoid the mispro-
nunciation of words like thing ff wrote it hing, placing
an aspirate before the / ; Douglas omits the aspirate, as in
thau 5%, phi, J; but there is such a risk of confusion,
that they have not been followed elsewhere.
The Greek rpiritus asper [‘] is now generally re-
garded as a suflicient and easily-written sign, to indicate
the aspirated words under the above nine initials ; but in
cascs where a printing-office does not afford a proper
aspirate [‘ ], an inverted comma | ‘] must take its place.
SECT. III,—ASPIRATES,
follow the unaspirated, and are not all placed in a new
series by themselves, as is done in Maclay’s Fuhchan,
and Douglas’ Amoy Dictionary. There are 136 aspirated
syllables in the Wu-fang Yuen Yin, not including those
under the initials 4 and hw, which number 41. In Can-
tonese, there are 157 of the former and 40 of the latter;
but Medhurst in his Hokkéen Dictionary enumerates
281 aspwated syllables in all, many of which are col-
loquial. There are fewer aspirated words in the Fuhchcu
dialect, and their number appears to decrease as one goes
north.
Aspirated words have been classed as surds, to distin-
guish them from the unaspirated, or sonants, but this
distinction seems to be inapplicable in relation to Chinese.
Such wouls are continually changed from one class to the
other by the compilers of general and local native vocabu-
laries, even when the initial consonant does not change.
If we compare two or three dialects with each other, we
find that the aspirated and unaspirated words are not
fixed ; one drops, and another takes an aspirate, especially
under the initials & and. Learning the aspirate is an
important subject to the student, who will find it benefi-
cial to read over lists of characters of both kinds with a
teacher, so as to distinguish them.
In some respects they are harder to learn than the
tones, as the distinction is very delicate to our ears, and
In this Dictionary, the aspirated characters immediately | is more a matter of memory than of imitation.
Tt would be better, for many reasons, to introduce the
term shing into philological works upon Chinese, than to
try to explain the foreign word Zone when it denotes the
curious feature of Chinese words by which their meaning
is changed according to the inflexion of voice used in
peaking them. In English we speak of a whining tone,
a guttural tone, a hoarse or harsh accent, but the shing
cf the Chinese are quite d'ferent from such modulations
of voice, which affect only the sound of a sentence or
important word, and not its meaning. There are cases
in all languages where accent and emphasis alter the
meaning of particular words, and some may choose to call
such modulations the tone, and compare them to the
shing of the Chinese, but the two are hardly comparable.
In the Burmese, Siamese, Shan and Assamese languages,
there are remains of the same system of shing which
prevails in Chinese; but in those countries the shing are
‘not found in every word, nor do they involve their mean-
Ings to an equal degree.
SECT. IV.—SHING OR TONES.
The shing in the Chinese language really partake of
the nature of vowels; and as the vowels in western
languages are constantly undergoing local changes which
give rise to particular patois, so have these delicate
modulations suffered various changes in different parts of
China, till they are involved in a perfect maze of obscurity
and contrariety.
The mode of representing the sizg in an alphabetic
language, must of course be entirely arbitrary, but only
three methods have been adopted. The earliest was
that of Fourmont, De Gnignes, Morrison, Medhurst, Dou-
glas and others, of marking the voweis with different
accents. De Guignes employed five, as yan, yin, yiin,
yun an yith, to indicate the differences in the sounds of
&, $A, 3, fe, and this series of tonal accents has
attained a wide use since his dictionary was published in
1813. Dr. Morrison employed only four marks, as chang,
chang, ching, chith, to represent iifg, 1, fife, WE, #L, where
the upper anid lower p*ing ching are indicated by the same
XXVIs
INTRODUCTION.
sign; be left the aspirate unmarked. This mode was
adopted in form by Medburst in his Mandarin Dictionary,
but altered in fact by dropping the accent for the upper
ping shing and writing chdng for the lower ping shing.
In his Hokkéen Dictionary, he increased the four marks
of Morrison to seven, but altered their application in order
to distinguish the seven tones in the Amoy dialect; in
this Douglas follows him. These were written dwun,
Irwin, hwin, lacut, kwin, Lavin, kwiin, kwut, to show the
local differences between the sounds of the characters
#, if. $B FE is, BS, 75, thus using only five
accents to show seven shing, and these not in the same
way as De Guignes had employed them.
The strongest objection against using marks at all over
vowels to denote the sking, is that they materially inter-
fere with those marks which show the power of those
vowels. In De Guignes’ Dictionary, the aspirate, tone
and yowel marks are all put over the word; and Med-
hurst was obliged in the same way to write kéén, kediouh,
héé, where one sign is for the prosody, and the other for
the shing. At present, in Amoy, where the missionaries
have adopted bis system of marks in their romanized
books, they have contrived to eliminate all prosodical
marks affecting the vowels, except that of o in no, and
o in long, the latter being written 9. No tones are marked
in the romanized books published at Ningpo, and of the
two, this is the best way.
| * A second mode, employed by Gongalves, is that of
marking the shing by a figure after the word, as 1, 2, 3,
4, to represent the same five shing which De Guignes
denoted by five accents; but it is difficult to understand
why he did not write them 1, 2, 5, 4, 5, at onee, and not
use an inverted period for the ping shing. The following
sentence,—ze are his comrades., F% {PE 4s, (44 Ft is
written uo2 menl xe3 fa’ tid hd2 1X3 by Gongalves
in his orthography and tones, where the mark for the
ping shing in the fourth word ¢'a’ would casily be over-
looked. He applied the same five signs to indicate the
eight shing in the Canton dialect, which necessarily mixed
them up so, that no reader could possibly decide what the
figures meant, and get the right tone. Meadows recommend-
ed four figures 100, to represent the two p*izg shing and the
two tseh shing, and he has been followed by Wade, because
it is the simplest. So it would be, if there was only one
system all over China. Wade applies the figures 1, 2,
3, 4, to the upper and lower ping shing, shang shing and
ki shing, so that each one represents a different tone
from that denoted by Gongalves. ‘The sentence above
quoted would be written in the Peking dialect, wo* mén
shil' ta ti} *huo® chit by him, and this comparison
shows the confusion which weuld ensue, if the use of
fignres was extended to the various dialects, and their
number run up to seven or eight. In his Grammar of the
Shanghxi Dialect, Mr. Edkins has contrived to eliminate -|
all tonal marks except an apostrophe [’ ] and a comma
[‘], as "law 3% for the shang shing and tau‘ 34 for the
K% shing; but they are entirely insufficient for general
use, and rather confusing in his work. The capabilities
of the printing-office probably influenced his adoption of
Such queer signs.
The third mode. which was begun in Bridgman’s
Chrestomathy, and has been adopted by Yates, Lobscheid,
Goddard and Baldwin, is a modification of the native
mode of indicating the tones. Chinese authors do not
usually indicate the sking ; but in certain cases where a
word has two tones, with two corresponding significations,
they mark the tone by a semicircle on the corner of the cha-
racters as oh BE, and u..H8, or tu JE and toh JE: in
these cases, the second AputGcalion is the one marked.
This mode has this advantage over the other two, that
the marks are easily understood by the natives, and are
applicable alike to all dialects without risk of confusion.
Though all modes of denoting the siing must be alike
conventional to the foreign reader, only the native method
can be used for both Chinese and English with equal ease.
Thus the sentence I wish to go and do it,—.ngo yao? ‘tseu
<tstien kit tso’, F BEF Hit FZ ffi, is read ‘ngo nv?
“esau sin hit? t30* & Fe HS & fi? in the Oan-
tonese, and the different tones of the first and last cha-
racters are as accurately and easily indicated in one lan- |
guage as in the other, but could not easily be so by
means of figures or accents appended to the characters.
If figures are used, there ought to be a double series,
employing 1, 2, 3,4, for the upper p*‘ing, shang, 1a, and
juh, and 5, 6, 7, 8, for the lower ping, shang, L%i and
juh, so as to make them applicable alike to all dialects;
otherwise, as in the example cited above from Gongalves
and Wade, they fail of being read correctly. Native
scholars always call the tones by their names, and do
not number them.
It is a great help to the learner to have the tones
marked on the word, and several years practice has
proved the ease with which the native marks are recog-
nized. In writing the names of persons and places for
foreigners, no one adds marks to designate the tones,
but in a work designed for the beginner, the tones can
easily be distinguished. ¢
Every character in this Dictionary is marked with
its proper tone for the nan java, according to the Wu-
Jang Yuen Yin. They follow each other in the order
of that work, shang p‘ing, hia p‘ing, shang shing and
Ki shing; words in the juh shing being placed by them-
selves. Underneath each is given the Peking pronun-
ciation in its sone in that city, with a blank space for
the student to insert the sound in any other dislect.

Tn all the southern dialects,- the shing are commonly
divided into [. and “P 3, or an upper and lower
series. They are also more generally called 2f: #% and
KK %; the first term denoting the two even tones, the
second all the others, grouped as tho deflected tones.
Bast of Canton to Fubchan, the second and sixth or
upper and lower shang shing, coalesce in exactly the
same sound. In the region around Shanghai, the two
series are subjected to other modifications, according to
Edkins, who enumerates twelve modulations heard in
the shing of words, and enters very fully into the subject,
illustrating each one with examples.
The names which have been given to the shing by
foreigners, have usually hed more or less reference to their
native namcs. For instance, the _[, 22 and “P 2B
have been called the upper and lowcr monotone, primary
and secondary smooth tone, upper acute and lower even
tone, and high and low even. Other tones have also
received many names, but as soon as the learner begins
to perceive their real nature by talking them with the
natives, he naturally uses their names as the ones which
most accurately describe them.
As this eae is chiefly intended to aid in learning the
written language, the student is referred to other
treatises* for general and particular descriptions and
illustrations of the s/ing in the various dialects. After
* Prefaces to Morrison’s Dictionary, Vol. I, to Medhurst’s
Hokkeén Dictionary and Douglas’ Dictionary of Amoy Ver-
nacular, Dyer’s Vocabulary of the Fuhkien Dialect, Maclay’s
Dictionary of the Fuhchau Dialect, Williams’ English and
Chinese Vocabulary, and his asy Lessons in Chinese, pp. 48-55,
Callery’s Systema Phoneticum pp. 68-72, and Chinese Repository,
Vol. III, pp. 26—28, Vol. IV, p. 172, Vol. VI, p. 579, Vol.
VII, p. 87; but the fullest description and critical examination of
the tones are to be found in Edkins’ Shanghai Grammar, pp. 6-70,
~ and in Wade’s Course, where exercises on them are given,
reading the authors referred to in the note, it is probable
that the student will agree with Edkins, that the
Chinese terms 22 fF 3: A “do not in the majority of
cases, represent the actual effect of the sound on the ear.
When first adopted they must have represented the tones
of the dialect spoken by the writer who selected them;
but when applied according to universal practice, to the
sounds given to the same characters in other parts of the
empire, they convey no idea of the actual pronunciation.”
Yet the characteristics of the shing are alike in all parts
of the country. They are not, strictly speaking, either
tones, accents, modulations, brogue or emphasis, as these
terms are used in European languages ; but perhaps more
nearly resemble musical notes, and are best illustrated
by the variations of pitch and time in an instrument.
Mr. Hartwell says, “the ching have five elements, viz.,
pitch, quality of voice, inflection, stress, and time,” and
he has neatly explained those heard at Fubchau by
comparing them with musical intervals and their varia-
tions on the staff, taking the middle line of the staff as
the key-note of the speaker’s voice. The note G@ struck
successively on a violin, an organ, and a flute, for ex-
ample, strikes the ear very differently, just as the voices
of a child or a mando; yet the three sounds are the
same on the gamut, and the note chords on all the in-
struments. But let @ sharp be struck on one of them, and
we feel the discord ; it is not the note at all. So in respect
to Chinese shing; if the right sking be not spoken, the
Tight word is not spoken, it is some other word. For
instance if a person says Aw instead of du ft aa
orphan, he does not say the word for orphan at all, he
says that for 7? old, or fA? jirm, or fi to hive, or
some other word, equally unlike it in meaning. The
shing constitutes an integral part of the word, and has
nothing to do with stress or emphasis ; they always retain
their peculiar force, whether at the beginning or end of a
sentence, whether asking or replying to a question,
whispering or sco!ding, soothing or menacing,—they re-
main ever the same. A native seldom or never thinks
whether he has the right tone or not, but speaks as he
learned it from his infancy ; just as an Englishman has
no difficulty in uttering the words that thing is thoroughly
thrashed, which to a Frenchman or Dutchman is well
nigh impossible.
If one has a quick and imitative ear, he will learn the
tones while learning characters and expressions, and by
mixing with the people his ear will unconsciously catch
the right sound. Let him not be perplexed as to their
nature, which has nothing mysterious, but imitate the
sounds as well as the words of the sentences he hears, as
he would learn a tune, or when trying to mimic another,
and not try to find out certain rules by which he must
train his voice. ‘I'he full exercises given by Mr. Wade

in his Course, or the sets of examples drawn out by
Edkins in his Shanghai Grammar, or similar exercises
made by the student for the particular dialect he is learn-
ing, as is recommended in the Canton Tonic Dictionary,
and in Medhurst’s Hokkéen Dictionary, can profitably be
read over and over until the ear is trained to the tones.
It is not difficult for a foreigner to be understood in
Chinese, even if he does misapply the shing of many
words ; but one is almost sure to imitate and learn the
correct tone of the commonest words as he becomes
familiar with them, if he pays a little attention to them
at the outset, and feels that a vicious pronunciation will
be harder to correct, than it is to learn a good one at
first.
The unchangeable nature of the written character has
probably had a powertul influence, in forcing the people
of China to pay close attention to their sounds, in order
to avoid the confasion which would ensuc in speaking
dozens and scores of homophonous words. It is abso-
Intely necessary that a language so very meager in
vocables, should have some contrivance to supplement this
paucity, ‘and natural that its speakers should endeavor
to qualify their sounds and vary the modulations of their
words, if thereby they could facilitate intercourse and
render speech less liable to confusion. The set phrases
in which the Chinese usually convey their thoughts, tend
to enlarge this paucity of sounds, and it is easier to
learn the right tones of such dissyllabie compounds than
of single words. ; ;
One chief difficulty which is met at the outset in this
study, is the strangeness of having a different modulation
for every word. It is as if one were made to talk up
and down the gamut, and apply do, re, mi, fa, sol, ia, to
all his words. Such delicate differences and modulations
would never be retained in an alphabetic language, as is
shown by the Japanese losing them in those words
adopted from the Chinese; and in the Burmese, Shan
and Siamese Janguages, where they are heard more
distincily in many words, they are not general, and
cause little trouble. Practice in speaking, with careful
attention at first to the right shing will soon make a
habit that will gradually become easy; if the student
does not Icarn them in this way, no rules will materially
help him.
SECT. V.
OLD SOUNDS OF THE CHINESE CHARACTERS.
The Rev. Joseph Hdkins has prepared this section, to explain the principles adopted by the carly Chinese
philologists, in spelling and writing the sounds of their language ; and to give the sources from which he made
out the lists of old sounds placed at the beginning of each syllable.
1. K‘anghi’s Dictionary.—The first source of this
old pronunciation of the characters is the K‘anghi Tsz’-
tien, where it is registered in the most convenient way.
The system of spelling therein used, called fun tstieh Fr
47. can be illustrated by the character sin > Which is
spelled sik-/im =H $k, and the reader is directed to
take the initial s of the first word, and the vowel 7 and
final m of the second, and call the word sim in the p‘ing
shing. Jah Z& is spelled bong-pap FF ZF, to be read bap
in the juh shing. Ch'eu fh is spelled dék-yu TA Fifj. to be
read du in the p*ing ching. Kih & is spelled hi-lip FE
iy, to be read kip or hip. Ma By is spelled moh-hia
HP, to be read ma. Tich FR is spelled do~kiet HE
#¥, to be read det.
From these examples it is seen, how the two cha-
racters are combined in each case to indicate the sound ;
the first giving the initial only, the other the medial |
vowel, the final vowel or consonant, and the tone.
@ The books from which the spelling is quoted, are the
| Kwang Yun Sf #8, T'ang Yun ff FA, and other works
chiefly of the T'ang and Sung dynasties, in which the
spelling of a thousand years agu is registered.
The |
|
|
ciation of the Mongol dynasty of Yuen is known from
the Bachpa monuments. A comparison shows that the
modern mandarin pronunciation was then in a state cf
formation, and fully preserved the letter m among the finals.
The present Atean hwa cannot be taken, therefore, as
a guide in reading the phonetic signs of the fun tsYch,
but they must be derived from the values furnished by
the Sanscrit alphabet, zs employed in the formation of
the 4 fH, or Sorted Finals, a volume found among the
introductions to K‘anghi’s Dictionary.
The thirty-six initials there used are to be read with
their corresponding values in the Sanserit alphabet, in
the following manner.

dictionary. This involves three things:—I1st. That the
pronunciation of the old middle ‘dialect, as still spoken
in Hangchau, Suchau, and the adjoining region, furnishes
the initials. 2nd. The dialects of Canton and south-
western Fuhkien, and partially the old middle dialect,
furnish the medial vowels and finals. 3rd. The standard
of comparison for ascertaining and verifying the old
pronunciation as preserved in dialects, is found in the
Sanscrit alphabets and in the old dictionaries. ‘
Tt should be remembered too, that Shan Yob, who
framed the syllabic spelling with the assistance of
Hindoo Budhists, lived in Kiangnan, when the court
was at Nanking, and when Budhism was in its most
flourishing condition. The transcription of names in
Julien’s “ Methede” proves plainly that the thirty-six
initials are to be read as in the old middle dialect,
checked and verified by the Sanscrit alphabet.
In reference to the second particular, the value of the
finals is known by comparing the local vocabularies of
the Canton and Amoy dialects with the tonic dic-
tionaries used by scholars in all parts of the country.
For example, the 7 9H, or Poeticul Rhymes, gives the
finals much as they are pronounced in the south-eastern
dialects, though the latter must yield when at variance
with the tonic dictionaries, as being the older authority.
Thus, #: is fap or pap, not Awat as at Amoy, or fat
as at Canton, or Awak as at Fubchan.
In further elucidation of the above particulars, the
usage of Japan, Corea and Cochin-China may be
appealed to; for the transcription of Chinese sounds
anciently made in those countries, is an index to the
contemporary sounds as employed by the natives of
north and south China. It may be known at once
from these three transcriptions, that the true final of jt
was p and not ¢ From all this it can be fairly inferred
that the present mandarin is as modern in its sounds as
it is in its idioms and syntax. The [| 28 and “P Zp
consist of the old 23 J split in two; the surds and as-
pirates go to make up the f- 28, and the sonants, liquids
and nasals, the “FP 4s. In regard to the other tones,
the surds and sonants have united in the _[ # and 3:
3 and in the mandarin heard at Nanking, in the A
4 in that spoken in the northern provinces, the A, 3
has become irregularly distributed among the other tone
groups, but a critical ear can still easily recognize it, al-
though its name is altered.
‘Tn the Canton and other dialects, the sonant in-
itials g, d, 6, have hardened into &, p, ¢, and are
distinguished from the old surd series by tones and dif-
ference in pitch. For example, i # (formerly i) is
distinguished from zi {4 (formerly dé) by tone at Canton
into Hy and $2, as well as change of finals into te?
and #; at Shanghai they are @ and di, the initials

Look in the tables of rhymes, for the value of the pho-
netic signs used to spell it in the fan is‘ieh. For instance,
wang FR is spelt with mo-pong jk Fj, and is to be read
mong ; for 7X is in the tables under the initial 58% in the
column BY and $f for m; and under the final tang ‘g? in
the column $f and JE for p. .
The old sound of p'ing i is spelled with de-pang je
JK, and is to be called bang. That of kuk ¥§ is spelled
with ho-hot 7 7, and is called ot,. In these two cases,
bé ye is found under 4 in the tables of rhymes, and 4o
under /:,
The old sound of dia 7@ is spelled with hi-nga FE PF,
and is to be called Za’. Tho surd initial & is found by
noticing the place of #E under § in page 12 of the
second series of tables of rhymes, and the final @ is ob-
tained from the position of 3 in page 1 in the second
division.
In regard to these tables of rhymes, the second and
fuller series is the most useful in helping a foreigner to
determine the ancient sound. ‘The first and briefest is
intended as a guide in fixing the tones, and does not
give information on the final consonants, m, 7, p, & It
is useful for natives who speak the 4wan hwa, and
require tables of sounds in a transition state from the
old to the new, but foreigners should use the second
series. e
The second series of tables of rhymes can be consulted
to determine the initial letters, whether p or , ¢ or d, &
or g, &c.; also to discover the ancient tone, which often
differs from the modern, as in dé ¥§ which was at first
‘dé, but is now nearly everywhere heard 4?; and lastly,
to learn whether ng, n, m, i, p or ¢ is the final con-
sonant, allhough there are many irregularities in the last
three finals. But for the vowels, the information giver
in K‘anghi is not sufficient, for they have undergone
greater changes than would be readily understood from
the tables.
The student must not expect to find in the Zang Yun
all the words employed in the body of K‘anghi in spell-
ing sounds. These words are quoted from older diction-
aries, and are too numerous to be all embraced in the
tables, though quite enough of them are registered.
On the initials.—The reason that there are two groups
beginning with ch, is that in some varieties of the old
middle dialect, words in the first group are distinetly
heard ch, ch’, dj, while those of the second are heard fs,
ts’, dz. In certain cities, on the other hand, all are alike
pronounced ch, ch’, dj.
The reason that in the series under /f, there is an
aspirated 7‘, is not that the old pronunciation had two
J8, but that f came from an older p and p*. The com-

pilers of the tables, finding that in certain dialects, both
F and p existed as the initials of some characters, and
Jf and p* as the initials of others, separated them in tle
tables. It may be that / was then the reading sound,
and p, p* the colloquial. In modern times along the
southern coasts east of Canton, the fis usually changed
to h.
Initial 5 occurs in three places. In the p series, it is
the mandarin p as applied to words whose initial was
formerly 4. In the sonant division of the / series, it is
applied to words now having in mandarin, but which
formerly had v, and besore that 6. In the nasal division
of the / series, it is attached to words now pronounced
with w, formerly with m, and in certain dialects with 3.
The existence of a double A series, is explained by the
fact of a former strong and weak aspirated initial, as is
still found in the old middle dialect.
The initial 7 or r should really be nz, as it is given in
the list of old sounds subjoined.
On the finals and medial vowels,—It will be conveni-
ent for the student to write the final consonants and
vowels in the margin of his copy of K‘anghi’s, Dictionary
opposite the tables. In the first page headed 4a A, the
first division reads ka, ka, ka, kak; the second, kia, kia,
kia, kiat; the third kie, diet ; the fourth ‘iet or kit. In the
fifteenth page, the first division is kam, ham, kam, kap; the
second diam, kiam, kiam, kap. The southern dialects
retain the old final letters, and their local vocabularies
may therefore be used, to get the needed letters thus to
be put in the margin.
‘The approximate values of the sixteen classes in the
second series of rhyming tables are here given : —
1.—ka, kak, kia, hat, kiet, kwa, kwak, kiiet.
2.—heng, lich, king, kik, kung, kok, kiting, kiok.
3.—keng, kek, king, kik, kiting, kwok,
4.—kung, kok, kiting, kok.
5-—pei, pek, ki, kit, kw*ei, kit.
6.—ka’, kat, kia’, kiat, ki, kit, kwei, kwat.
7.—ku, houls, kit, k'ok.
8.—kan, hut, kien, kiet, kwan, kwat, kitien, kiiet.
9.—kam, kiam, kiap.
10.—tsem, kim, kip.
11.—tKen, ket, kin, kit, kwan, jit, kitin, Liiet.
12.—kong, kok,

2—The Kwang Yun J #§ This dictionary has
been recently reprinted, and is readily to be obtained;
it dates from the seventh century, and is one of those
most cowmonly quoted in K‘anghi as authority for old
sounds. In it, all words having the sam» initial and
= a —
final are placed under one heading, so that it is in fact
a syllabic dictionary. The principle of arrangement is,
however, tonic, all words in the p'ing shing being first
registered, and then those in the shang shing, ‘i shing
and juh shing, foltowing each other in this order;
those words falling ander the p*ing shing are divided
into ‘wo parts, owing to their number. The Kwang
Yun, like other tonic dictionaries, is syllabic, though
its arrangement appears to be according to the tones.
The words are, of course, not placed in the order of
our alphabet, but begin with ung 3%, tung 2. an
order which has since been adopted with variations in
somo other tonic dictionaries. It seems to have been
invented by tke compilers of the Kwang Yun, as it is
thero first found. The Wu-fang Yuen Yin and the
Canton Zan Yun begin with the final en.
The sounds given as Old sounds at the head of each
syllable in this Dictionary were ascertained by a skilled
natjve, who compared each character under that syllable,
one by one with the Kwang Yun. So far as the two
vocabularies were found to be identical he wrote out the
words. After this list. was prepared, the old pronun-
ciation was added, following chiefly the authority of the
Kwang Yun. The old prounciation thus ascertained
agrees in most essential points with that of K’anghi’s
Dictionary, but the variations caused by vowels are much
more complex. During the formation of the present
kwan hwa, the variations of the syllables became much
fewer; but it is hopeless, probably, to try to restore
exactly the sounds as they were used by the compilers
of the Kwang Yun.
We can. only draw an outline expressing the chief
features. The simple syllables used by the Budhists to
transcribe Sanscrit words can be correctly ascertained,
but more complex syllables cannot be restored. Vowels
are the most evanescent parts of words, easily become
modified, and an exact orthographic representation of
their nicer shades cannot be obtained. The following
changes have taken place in their value:—the modern o
is from a, ew from wu, u from o, i from ¢, au frou au,
iew from u, é from ¢, the imperfect vowel in se’ from
i or a, i from ei or ui, ya from o, a from ¢ oro, a
from i
3.— Old Poetry.—Phonetics. The complete merging of
J in an older p, and of / in an older 4, takes us back
tv an age contemporaneous with the old poetry. A
great narrowing of the range of the hissing letlers s, 2,
ts, sh, &c, is a mark of the same period. At that time,
ch was probably lost entirely in 4 anddj in d. The
researches of native scholars, and the existence of dia-
lects like the Amoy and Swatow, without an /; and with
a contracted ch and s, tend to tbis conclusion.

language, belongs the dropping of final letters from a
host of words spelled in the Kwang Yun with yowel finals
only. ‘The rhymes of the old poetry require that many
words now spoken in the A%% shing and other tones,
should be read in the juh sing; which implies that such
words once ended in a consonant.
In the list of old sounds, the words are arranged
somewhat as they apply to the characters found under
that syllable in this Dictionary, but it was impossible,
without risk of confusion, to give the sound opposite cach
character with the Pekingese. They represent only
partially the changes that have taken place in the old
Chinese pronunciation, through the elision of the final
consonants from words now referred to other tones. The
sounds are therefore chiefly from tho Kwang Yun, and
not more than 1200 years old. Perhaps when the
phonetic characters have Leen fully examined, and all
the lost consonants restored, it may be possible to carry
this inquiry farther, and restore the language to the form.

SECT. VI.—RANGE OF DIALECTS, .
' The peculiar nature of the written language makes it
necessary to explain the use of the word dialect, which
has been objected to as not applicable to the various
forms of local speech heard over this wide land. Some
assert that thcy rise to the dignity of a language, like
the Spauish, Italian, and other offshoots from the Latin;
while others regard them as more like the patois heard
in various parts of Spain itself, where each. amidst its
local expressions, retains the idioms and laws of the
Castilian. The essential unlikeness between the variations
heard in speaking those alphabetical languages, and the
greater discrepancies between the sounds given to the
ideographic characters, will explain the wider use of the
term in Chinese, but certainly does not elevate them. into
the rank of separate languages.
The differences between the speech heard at Canton
and that at Shanghai, are indeed far greater than those
between any of the Jocal dialects heard in Spain, for they
affect the idioms of the language; yet both are still so
intimately connected with each other and the mandarin
in the meaning and tones of their words, and laws of
their syntax, that they cannot properly be called any-
thing but dialects, although three persons speaking them
are mutually unintelligible. A dialect is defined by
Webster, — “The form of speech of a limited region or
2a as distinguished from others nearly related to it ;”
this is applicable to the Chinese dialects, It is also
defined a patois, but this term as well as drague, is far
too contracted to describe the differences between the
speech of Kwangtung and Kiangsu provinces. The
word patois is moro applicable to. the varieties of a
dialect, like those heard at Shanghai, Ningpo, Hang-
chan, and the interjacent cities, where one can generally
be understood at each place, if he speaks the other verna-
cnlar correctly.
The fundamental fact, that no character has an inherent
sound, has tended to make and perpetuate these dialects
‘throughout the country ; and the general ignorance of the
written language by the people at large, has helped to
‘Shanghai ?
pose and modify them still further. It, however’
entirely misleads to describe any one of these as “no
mere dialectic variety of some other language, but a
distinct language ;’’ for until a new sense be given to the
word, such a description conveys a misconception of the
relation between the spoken and written languages. So
varied are the sounds heard even in one province, as
Fuhkien or Nganhwui, that if it were not for the bond
of the same written medium, the people would probabl
long ago have crystallized into separate nations bioheh
their inability to understand each other. It is also an
error to term the written language a dead language, and
say, as Dr. Douglas does, that it “is not spoken in any
place whatever under any form of pronunciation,” and that
‘‘Jearned men never employ it as a means of ordinary oral
commun:cation even among themselves” The exercises
in Wade’s Course and the Hung Leu Mang or “ Dreams
of the Red Chamber,” are proof enough that the xwan
Java can be, and is written and spoken like any other
language. The conversation of the officials in’ Peking,
too, can all be written in proper characters without any
difficulty. No one will dispute the remark that no two
Chinese pronounce their words alike, even in any one
dialect ; but this does not weaken the remarkable power
of their written language to maintain the solidarity of the
people.
The extent to which a dialect is spoken, is therefore a
point varying according to one’s ideas of what is a
dialect ; but some general notion in regard to the matter
can be obtained. Native scholars give us no information
on this point, for they are unable to compare local
sounds by means of characters which their readers will
pronounce differently ; for instance, how can a man in
Peking tell his readers that 4h is read ngoi* at Canton,
gue at Swatow, ngwoi? at Fuhchau, and ‘nga at
The kwan hwa ought perhaps, not to be
called a dialect, but rather to be regarded as the Chinese
spoken language, of which the provincial speech in Can-
ton or Fubkien is a dialect. The fact that it is unintel-

ligible in those cities, does not invalidate the statement,
that it is understood generally in fifteen of the eighteen |
provinces, and is everywhere spoken by those who pre-
tend to a polite education. Mr. Edkins regards Peking,
Nanking and Ch‘ingtu, as the centers of its three mark-
ed varieties, and the wide separation of these cities,
whose inhabitants, as a whole, have no intercommuni-
cation with each other, and yet can orally converse, all
the more proves its claim to be the Chinese spoken
language.
In this wide area, the Nanking, called py fF jj and
IE @ cr true pronunciation, is probably the most used,
and described as 3 #7 79 af, or the speech everywhere
understood. The Peking, however, also known as jf
pu 0 3 pa iS now most fashionable and courtly, and
like the English spoken in London, or the French in
Paris, is regarded as the accredited court language of the
empire. ‘The two most striking differences between
them, consist in the change of the initial & before 7 and
& into ch or ts, and the distribution of words in the
juh shing among the other tones. In Peking itself, words
are constantly clipped in speaking, and the finals x and
ng often coalesce with their next syllables, as isien ‘rh
Ft My into ts’rh; but such variations and peculiarities
are endless, and do not constitute dialectical differences.
“So far’ as is yet known, the range of mountains divi-
ding the basins of the Min river in Fuhkien, the Pearl
river in Kwangtung and others in southern China from
the Yangtsz’ kiang, forms the chief dividing line of a series
of local dialects, in which the frequency of abrupt final
consonants and nasal sounds strike the ear. Neither of
the local vocabularies issued at Canton, Changchau or
Fuhchau, give one any idea of the extent of country
over which those dialects prevail ; but probably they are
not spoken in any considerable degree of purity by even
one half of the inhabitants of the two provinces south
of the Méi-ling. Their divergences from the general
language and from each other are almost endless, but
their peculiar syntax, and the limits of their use, have
only been partially investigated. It is this feature of a
different idiom which has attracted the attention of
native philologists, and they therefore speak of the
dialects of Kwangtung and Fubkien as unlike the speech
of Honan and the north.
There are four well-marked dialects in the whole
province of Kwangtung, but that called the Canton
dialect is probably spoken by more people than any of
the others. Next to it is the Hak-ka 2% 3€ dialect,
which has its center at Kia-ying cheu, prevails in the
northern and eastern part of Kwangtung, and is—owing
to the wandering habits of the emigrants from that
region, — said to be more widely understood. It is the
usual form of Chinese heard in Borneo. The Cantonese
calied ] ji or plain talk by the people, is marsed by
the rarity of the medial % from the kwun hwa and the
Fabkien dialects: Words like dien 3M, liang J, lia f,
kiah FA, hioh 8B, hiu ff, hiiing Sf, kiai #4, &e. become
lin, leung, ka, hep, hok, yau, hing, kai, &c.; the only
exception to this rule is in the final ao of the mandarin,
which uniformly ends in iv, as dw for lao ff, hiu
for hiao Wg. Another feature is the frequent change of
aspirated words beginning with % or 4, into a breathing
or labial consonant; for instance, i $y, Jawan BR, Ko
BL Meu TW, Moh, 3%, Mang FR, &c., change into 2,
Sun, fo, hau, hot, hong, &c. A very few words, un-
aspirated in mandarin, take an aspirate in Cantonese,
as hi #§ becomes Kwei, and hoh He becomes Kok. No
such alteration takes place under other initials, but there
is a tendency to drop tbe aspirate. One feature in
which this dialect, particularly around ihe city of
Canton, corresponds to Pekingese, is the regularity with
which it retains the initials ch and ¢s, and their affiliated
sounds se’ and ¢sz’ and the final ng, though in the inter-
vening region of nearly two thousand miles, these initials
and sounds are frequently changed, altered, and inter-
changed in a most perplexing manner.
In Cantonese, the initials chw, hw, h‘, 7, lw, nw, sw,
shw, tsw, and tw of the kwan Jawa, and the initials d, dz, v,
and z, heard along the Yangtsz’, are all unknown. No
word begins with dj as at Amoy, but south and east of
Canton there is a tendency to add ng before words begin-
ning with a vowel, asi —, becomes ngi ; and to substitute
8 for sh.
Compared with the dialects of Swatow and Amoy,
the Cantonese like the wan /iwa, has no nasal sounds, nor
does it ever change the initial m to 8, or alter the finals
n and vg into contracted nasals, as ching §§ into ch”é or
chien #% into chw"a. Unlike the dialects in Kiangsi,
Chehkiang and Fubkien, it has only one sound for a
character in speaking or reading, and the number of
unwritten words in the colloquial is. probably not one
tenth as many as at Amoy or Ningpo. ‘This peculiarity
of a reading and colloquial sound for hundreds of com-
mon characters, the two running parallel to each other
something like the two sides of a railway, forms a great
addition to the labor of learning to speak and read those
dialects; but in Cantonese, as in Pekingese, there is
nothing of the kind.
The Cantonese dialect has only 17 among its 33
finals, which make the juh shing in k, p, t. These are
grouped in the Wu-fang Yuen Yin under the first four
finals tien, jain, lung and yang, which there have no juk
shing. n the latter work, words ending in u, a, 0, é, ai,
and 7 form this tone, but in Cantonese none are heard
under these six finals. For instance, the series 4° ‘4
5 GH, is read ,tdng, “tang, tang, tak, at Canton; but
—--—-

in the north, the series Af “@H kL’ 3E,, is read tu, “cu,
tw’, twh,, where the last word would, at Canton, be
found under the series dn, ‘tdn, tan’, tdt, The ter-
minations in the juh shing at Canton follow one rule.
Words ending in ng, have it in /, as cing, ‘king, king? kik, ;
those ending in m have it in p, as lam, ‘lam, lam’, lap, ;
and those in n have it in ¢, as on, ‘kon, kon’, kot,.
This holds good at Swatow, but at Amoy they are all
sounded gently, and p and ¢ often lapse into A, as if
dropping back into the mandarin. At Fuhchau they
are softened to 2, which prevails further north, but the &
is retained, and the m vanishes.
Of all the dialects thus far examined, the Cantonese
is among the most regular. No words are clipped, no
character has two sounds, and the variants in the 33
finals are few in proportion to the regular sounds.
Many books have been written in it by Protestant
Missionaries which are easily understood by the common
people. It is spoken westerly and southerly from the
city even into Kwangsi, but its northerly limits are unde-
fined ; eastward the Swatow and Hakka dialects soon
supplant it, though the people of Hwuichau fu 3X HH KF
use the Fan Wan as the Cantonese do.
The dialect spoken in Chtaochau fu jg JH JfF (locally
read Tiéchiu hu), in the eastern part of Kwangtung,
and in the adjacent parts of Fubkien, is less widely under-
stood than the Cantonese, and is closely affiliated to the
Amoy in its general character. The people of the two
regions can understand each other without much difli-
culty. It is spoken along the coast of Hainan I., and
is almost the only dialect of Chinese heard in Siam.
A Cantonese, on hearing it, notices that the medial 7
reiippears, and-that it is used perhaps rather more than
in mandarin, as in liap, #7 for lih, , tiat, HE for chih, &e.
It has many nasal sounds, and changes 7 and 7g into
such, as L"¢ Fi for kdng; or tw"a fe for tan; and often
drops the final & where- the Cantonese retain it. The
initials 6, 7, chw, dj, mw, ngw, pw, are frequently heard,
and indicate its affinities with the Fuhchau dialect ; as the
absence of s/, ts, sz’, tsz’ and 7, show its separation from
that of Canton. Of these, sh usually becomes s, sz’
becomes siz, and ts becomes ch, aspirated ch‘ turns into
t, and f is divided between 2 and p. No sibilant 2, 7, v
or d, occur in this dialect, as at Shanghai.
- No native vocabulary has appeared in it, but a
small word-book has been-published by Mr. Goddard,
and a beginner’s Lessons by Dr. Dean. ‘The former,
referring to the differences between the reading and
colloquial sounds of characters, says that the colloquial
sound accords largely with the reading, and that the two
are interchanged in a great number of words; while in
others, the reading sound is heard only when chanting
the classics. In reading aloud, all use the colloquial
sound, and hearers expect no other; and the explanations
made are rather of the thought than of the words.
Characters having a reading and a spoken sound, how-
ever, seem to be much less in proportion to the whole
mass than in the Amoy vernacular. In the reading
sounds, the nasal disappears, and there is a tendency to
keep the m instead of the d, y instead of ng, y and w
instead of g, and other forms of the mandarin. There
are only seven tones, as is the case further east; but the
ii shing is inflected into three modulations called shang
Mi KF, He, kG shing Fz HB, and hua Si PF FH, of which
the middle one is confined chiefly to the spoken language,
as the characters thus pronounced are mostly read in
the shang p‘ing.
The dialect spoken at Amoy is heard throughout the
two departments of Changchau j@ J] and 'T'siienchau
5% Ji, and by the Chinese settlers in the Island of
Formosa, who went from those regions. The general
features of its changes are given in the -- Fy 7 or
Fifteen [Initial] Sounds, which formed the basis of
Medhurst’s Dictionary, though strictly applicable only
to Changpu hien jm 7 8%. lying south-west of
Amoy. Its spoken vocabulary is fully illustrated in
Donglas’ Dictionary of the Amoy Vernacular. He
estimates that it is spoken by eight or ten millions of
people, including its cognate variations. In the Z%fteen
Sounds, the reading and colloquial pronunciation of cha-
racters with the tones are carefully distinguished. The
colloquial used by the people of this region differs wide-
ly from the style in which books are written, — as much
perhaps as anywhere in China. They substitute other
words or dissyllabic phrases for the single terms used
in books, and vary the inflection of even common words ;
giving them a nasal or contracted ending, or changing
their sound and tone altogether. The greatest part of
them are earlier forms of what is now accepted as the
authorized reading sound, which has gradually become
assimilated to the mandarin; but some are manifestly
derived from characters which have dropped out of use,
and some perhaps from an older aboriginal speech A
more thorough examination of the written characters,
and their gradual changes in sound, would probably
detect their originals in many cases, as I have ascertained
in the Canton dialect in several words.
Medhurst classifies the changes which words undergo
in their finals and initials, as they pass into the colloquial
of Changchau, and has given the reading sounds and
colloquial enlargement of every quotation in his dic-
tionary. This difference is so great, that a person only
acquainted with the reading sound, is not able to under-
stand a conversation in the vulgar tongue; nor can a
person profic‘ent in the latter make out the meaning of
any passage recited from a book not previously

familiar to him. This is in striking contrast with the
more precise Cantonese, though the differences in that
dialect between a phrase in the colloqnial and in the
terser book style are not small.
The Fubchau dialect, which is fully illustrated in
Baldwin and Maclay’s Dictionary, is more circumscribed
in its range than either of the preceding; it is not easily
understood out of the prefecture, and is not spoken accu-
rately beyond a radius of forty miles from the city.
Comparing it with those already described, its most
marked features are, the absence of the abrupt finals p
and ¢, the universal change of the lignid finals m and
into ng, the absence of all nasal sounds, and the prevalence
of initials with a medial uv or w, as pwi, ngwohk, mwang,
lwok, &c, oycr those with a medial 7, as chiu, hiéng, miong,
&c., though the two are constantly interchanged. The
final % is heard plainly from this point northerly to
Shanghai ; and, as it is elsewhere in the south, is the com-
pletion of the series in the juk shing, of words ending in
ng. There are several curious and peculiar anomalies in
the tables of tonal finals ; as ,tdéng, ‘tdng, téung’, téul, ;
kong, ‘kong, taung, kauk, &e. In comparison with the
Amoy dialect, the reading and spoken sounds of the
Fuhehau probably assimilate more closely. It is not
difficult to write the Fuhchau vernacular in the character,
so as to be read intelligibly by persons making no pre-
tension to classical Jearning. This is done, as it is at
Canton, by selecting characters without reference to their
meaning, to express the colloquial sound ; to indicate such
words, the Cantonese usually prefix [J mouth to a
character, as Pf for place; and Fubchan people add
A man.as 4 to know. In the Amoy or ‘Tiéchiu
dialects, the colloqnial cannot be so satisfactorily written
perhaps, but even with all drawbacks, such attempts to
simplify the dialect, seem to be preferable to the
romanized books made in Amoy and Ningpo colloquial.
These completely cut off the pupil from-his native litera-
ture, and his labor is lost so far as helping him to
read that, while those written in the character do
much to introduce him to the knowledge of his own
language, as has been proved at Canton. The total
failure in India of the attempt to supplant its thirteen
languages, by a uniform system of romanizing them, does
not encourage one to try to supersede the Chinese cha-
racter in the same way.
The speech heard throughout Chehkiang and Kiang.
su shows its affinity to the Jawan Jaca in its gram-
matical idioms, absence of the finals m, p, t, and a general
softness of tone, in marked contrast to the abrupt finals
noticeable in Fuhkien and Kwangtung. Dut it is almost
as unintelligible to a Peking or Sz’ch’uen man, owing to
the numerons changes in the initials ch and /s, s and sh,
nand y, the prevalence of J, v, dz, zz and 2, and an
almost unlimited variation in final vowels and nasals.
Mr. Edkins has carefully traced its variations and laws
over a large part of this area, in his Shanghai Greanmar,
and tried to show that the ancient sounds of the Chinese
language are still retained in many places within the
three provinces. His remarks are directed toward the
search he was making after traces of tlie oll sounds given
in the Kwany Yun fe 7H and the K%unghi Tse’tien ; but
as they are applicable to the present subject, that of ex-
amining the range of dialects, 1 here quote them with
some abridgment of details.
‘‘Nowlhere-do we find such an accurate general correspondence
with the tables given in Ktanghi, as in the prouuncistion of the
central provinces. The tones ure such, that the dictionary system is
seen at once to apply to them accurately. The alphubetical peculia-
rities of the native tables are found with cne or two doubtful ex-
ceptions, to be embraced throughout the following regicu. In the
north, the thick series of consonants, g, z, &c. marking the lower
series of words in tones 5—8, makes its appearance in Nan T'ung-
chau fj a il. a prefecture near the northern bank of the Yang-
tsz’ River where it enters the ocean. ‘The transition froin the d,
&c. Leard at Shanghai to the ¢, &., where the region of the north-
ern mandarin is approached, is marked by the introduction of the
aspirate. Thus Hf changes to ¢? from di, before it does to si. At
Chinkiang, the two provunciations are mixed ; and there the five
tones of the Awan hwa cross the river and extend to Nanking. All
round Hangchai Bay, the two correlate series of consonants and
the four-tone system, mark the colloquial; Chusan, Ningpo and
Hangchau on the south, are at one with Sungkiang, Suchau and
Ch'angchau on the north; and probably the whole of Chelikiang
province has substantially the same speech.
“* Passing west from the point where the three provinces, Ful-
kien, Kiangsi and Chehkiang meet, we find that the thick con-
sonants partially prevail in Kwangsin fu and Kiench'ang fu, near
the borders of Fulkien; but at Fuhchan fu #& AY KF. a little fur-
ther west, they disappear and are replaced by aspirates. Instead
of d? $i use people say ¢i?; instead of sing FH» they say sp"ing,
&e., through all words beginning with x, 7, ¢, in the lower series.
The same peculiarity marks the speech of Kiaying chau in the heart
of Kwangtung. At the capital of Kiangsi, the aspirates are heard
only in the hia pting, where they should properly be ; and in the other
lower tones the words aro distinguished from the upper tones, only
by the tone, and not by a change in the initial. North of this city, oa
both sides of the Ptoyang lake, the broad consonants occur again.
Through Nganhwui, a connecting chain of dialects links the broad
pronunciation of this region with the similar system extending over
Chelikiang and most of Kiangsu. ‘This line extends through Ning-
kwoh fa Se Jff; but does not reach the Yangtsz’ River on the
north, nor Hwnichau fa wy JH KF on the south; in this city twa
patois are heard ; in one of them, two sets of tones are heard, those
used in talking being distinct from those in reading, and independent
of the different pronunciation of the reading und spoken sounds,
which seems here to reach its maximum. In one district hereabouts,
three dialects are heard, so rapidly does the speech vary. West of
the Ptoyang lake, the initials g, d, b, are heard around the Tungt’ing
lake in Hunan, showing the same system of pronunciation as at
Suchau in Kiangsu, which goes to prove that the native tables of
sounds given in K'anghi are founded on what is now a proviucial
system, Of the three abrupt cousouants, £ only is lieard at Shang-
hai; but at Fuchau {i pial t and p are heard with their correlates
m and n, but no & final; at Nank'ang fu B iE i, west of the
P’oyang lake, p and m are represented, but no & ef ¢, and the
finals n and ng are confounded.”
INTRODUCTION.
XXXV.
The Japanese learned their first use of Chinese cha-
racters from this region, about A. p. 250; and that
language may still be quoted for many original sounds
of that period; they call them Gd-on UL Ff te Sk
#§ “sounds of the Kingdom of Wu,” and by means of
their Zana or syllables, have probably nearly retained the
first pronunciation. For instance, Ff Bi is read saku-
ban by them, while it is chdt-bwan in Amoy, and ¢soh-
man at Canton; 7: jig is saku-biyo in one, and ché-
péng and cha-ping in the other two; ff 2 is satu-ban,
chok-bin and tsol-miin respectively. The second phrase
has altered most of these three, and the jf: appears now
to have lost it juh shing and abrupt final in China. The
variations in Japanese are however often so anomalous,
that their pronunciation cannot now be accepted as con-
clusive for ancient Chinese.
As distinguished from mandarin, the Shanghai verna-
cular has no sh, ch or j; and changes s, sh, ch and 1s,
with the sibilant 4, into dj, z or dz, but not uniformly ; y
and j easily run into n or ni; the £ is retained in many |
words where the medial 7 follows it, and sometimes length- |
ens it, as hing $¥ becomes kiang ; f and w often become
v, t becomes d, the final & is soft and easily confounded
with the juh shing in h, and the final 7 often turns into
a slight nasal. These few peculiarities may serve to
mark the most prominent dissimilarities. The eight tones
in the Shanghai dialect are divided into two series of four
each as in Cantonese ; but unlike that dialect, characters
otherwise written with the same letters in the different
tones in Canton, change their initials in the Shanghai to
correspond to the tone. Thus the initials 4, 4, p, and
KY, py ty Fi & 8,.ts, tse, and és‘, tsz* and A* indicate the
word to be in the upper series; while g, 6, d, 8’, v, 2, 22,
dj, dz, 1, rh, m, ni, ng and n show it to be in the lower
series. These distinctions are so marked, that in writing
the dialect in alphabetic letters, only the shang shing and
Ki shing need to be denoted by signs. No such influence
on the initial is noticeable in the southern dialects nor in
mandarin, but it facilitates their distinction to a foreign
student. ;
Attempts have been made to write the Shanghai
dialect (called t'u bak + & or local plain [tall] ) in the
character, and the success was such as to warrant. the
publication of a variety of religious works in it. They
are not hard to learn, even by children, though the
proportion of colloquial characters is greater than at Can-
ton. It has been romanized too, and on a different plan
of spelling from that used at Amoy and Ningpo ; but the
trial which Mr. Keith began in 1860, bas not been pro-
secuted to any large extent.
Rey. Messrs. Pearcy and Crawford published av in-
genious mode of writing this dialect, by devising a system
of symbols or letters for the initials, finals, tones and
aspirates, which could be neatly combined into a logo-
type, to denote the sound of the words. The writing
somewhat resembles Corean in its general appearance.
| and is not difficult to learn. A few books have been
|
printed in it, but it has never been adopted by others,
and has far less to recommend it as a substitute for
Chinese than the roman letters.
The Ningpo dialect has, it is said, a much greater
proportion of unwritten sounds than the Shanghai, and
no attempt has been made to write the colloquial in the
character. The dialect in that city differs less from
mandarin than the Shanghai, which is perhaps ascribable
somewhat to the greater literary reputation of the region.
At: Ningpo, the initials 2, dz and 4, for s, sh, ch, h', are
unknown, and no final & is heard; the frequent use of the
| initial né and final 6, and change of ¢ for a, also mark
the southern city. Its idioms are often unlike those
heard at Shanghai, and more nearly approach the pure
kwan hwa.
The differences of speech among the people in various
parts of the central, western and north-western provinces
have not yet been studied minutely, and cannot usefully
be analysed until more-data have been obtained by those
living at places remote enough to form suitable stations
for comparison.
The anomalies and variations in pronunciation and
tones found at the points now noticed, are very great and
perplexing ; but better knowledge of the intermediate re-
gions would probably enable us to classify them. . For
instance, the tones called shang p‘ing and hia ping at
Hankow, are just the opposite in actual sound to those so
called at Tientsin; the juh shing is retained in name at
the former place, but it is not perceptibly different’ there
from the fia p‘ing, while at Nanking the two are unlike.
The comparisons now made are therefore imperfect —per-
haps erroneous too in some points,—and are chiefly done
to point out what has been ascertained, and the uature of
the diversities.
Tn order the better to compare these dialects now noticed,
the reading sounds in eight of them, given to the
characters of a portion of the Emperor Yungehing’s
discourse on Filial Duty in the 38 jy KG HI] or Sacred
Commands of K'anghi, are here arranged in parallel co-
lumns, The first column contains the sounds of the Wu-
fang Yuen Yin; and the others have been kindly furnish-
ed by friends who are familiar with the vernacular of
each place, and probably fairly represent the main peculi-
arities of the reading sounds over the greater part of
seven provinces. It is plain from this table, that thongh
the chazacters are not primarily designed to express
sound, their early sounds have been wonderfully preserved
by means of the Linary mode of spelling brought from
India twelve ceaturies ago.

TRANSLATION OF THE -ABOVE EXTRACT.
Now filial piety is a statute of heaven, a principle of earth, and
an obligation of mankind. Do you, who are void of filial piety, ever
reflect on the natural affection"of parents for their children? Even
before you left the maternal bosom, if hungry, you could not have
fed yourselves ; or if cold, you could not have put on your own
clothes. A father or a mother judge by the voice, or look at the
features of their children, whose smiJes make them joyful, or whose
weeping excites their grief. When trying to walk, they leave not
their steps; and when sick or ‘in pain, they can neither sleep nor
eat in comfort, in order that they may nurture and teach them.
When [their children] reach man’s estate, they see to their marriage,
and scheme for their livelihood by a hundred plans, in which they
weary their minds and spend tb-ir strength. Parental virtue is truly
as limitless as high heaven !
A man who desires to recompense one in a myriad of the loving

is unfilial to serve one’s prince disloyally ; it is unfilial to fill

unfilial.” _ AJl these things «re involved in the duty of a

INTRODUCTION,
i The same extract from the Sacred Commands has
| been written out in the colloquial of the same dialects,
except that of the Amoy; but the example given in the
Swatow will serve somewhat to illustrate it. The
teachers at Amoy declared themselves unable to write
their colloquial intelligibly. The colloquial characters
used in one dialect are not ofcourse understood elsewhere,
for the reason that they are sounded differently, and none
of them would be used by an educated native anywhere
in writing even a common letter. It is, however, a dif-
ference in degree only in the Chinese, and not in kind;
from what is the case in every cultivated language in
‘the world, and its great extent is owing mostly to the
peculiar nature of this written language.
The differences between the style called 4 Hf or
book style, and # 7 or colloquial in Chinese are not
easily described ; but these seven examples will help the
student to perceive them, and mark the alterations good —
written Chinese undergoes when it is spoken in the local
patois. Only in the first two columns, containing ex-
amples from Peking and Hankow, are all the characters
used in their proper signification. The variety of words
exhibited in these examples, is not so great as a portion
of some other work would have been ;—the =f; 5% 3 or
Millenary Classic for instance; but this popular essay
on Filial Piety suits the spirit of the colloquial better,
and the benefits of this comparison do not depend on the
| range of sounds.

When a foreigner commences the study of the Chinese
written language, the characters appear to be so intricate
and senseless, that he is liable to be discouraged at the
apparently endless, wearisome task of learning so many
unmeaning marks. A further examination, however, dis-
closes both order and use; and although the study is a
slow and difficult one, there are methods of prosecuting
it so as greatly to reduce the labor. One of these me-
thods is to call to the student’s aid as much as possible,
SECT. VII.—THE RADICALS.
the principle of combination which regulates the forma-
tion of the mass of characters, and by means of which he
can link together form, sound and_ signification. The
knowledge of all these is indispensable to every one who
wishes to become a Chinese scholar, and the first point, —
form, is that on which he must bestow the most pains.
Early associations invest the symbols of his language
with beauty as well as sense to a native, who has never
learned any other mode of expressing ideas ; and there are
eed a ~—
—
xlviit.
INTRODUCTION,
no doubt a few points in which the Chinese characters
are superior to the alphabetic letters of the West. A
foreigner begins by degrees to appreciate their picturesque
symbolism, as he becomes familiar with them; and as
sight is quicker than sound, ideas conveyed through the
eye often flash on his mind with a force and distinctness
superior to the slower process of sound. As no gramma-
tical inflectiong are used, the unaided chatacters serve as
pictures to imprint their meanings on the mind; and
fancy helping the memory to store itself with these
changing forms, each idea gradually comes to be clothed
in its own appropriate embroidery. Associations of this
kind between the shape of a character and its meaning,
can be greatly developed by special attention, and in time
will become a series of links which will facilitate their
ready use. ‘The short etymological paragraphs prefixed to
many characters in this Dictionary, furnish some material
in this respect, and will help the student to remember them.
An examination into the origin and changes in the
Chinese characters, an account of their construction,
classification, and analysis, with examples of the six
styles of writing, and the development or contraction of
different words, each and all offer attractive subjects for
illustration, and are interesting studies to the antiquarian
etymologist. Much has been written upon all these topics
by Chinese philologists; and foreigners have elucidated
them to some extent. A reference to the works of the
latter* is all thatis necessary ere, and a recommendation
to read them carefully. The information there given
cannot be repeated here, but it will materially assist the
learner of the language.
Every character may be divided, for convenience, into
two parts, called the radical and the primitive. Though
native etymologists have not dissected them in this way,
the terms serve to distinguish the two portions; and if we
except the two thousand radicals and primitives them-
selves, are applicable to far the largest part of the words
in the language. The people never learn their characters
by any dissection or classification, but depend upon their
constant use to imprint them on the memory, just as
we lean our numerals. Few, perhaps none, of their
scholars ever learn the radicals by rote, and they are often
at a loss to find a word in the dictionary. When the
radical is obscure, as in LJ, 32 or Z, they depend on
the list of difficult characters given in that work, to
point out its proper radical.
The terms formative, determinative and key, have all
also been used, because the radicals indicate the general
* Introduction to Mozrrison’s Quarto Dictionary; Callery’s
Systema Phoneticum, one of the best works on the subject ;
Williams’ Kasy Lessons in Chinese; Chinese Repository, vol. iti,
p. 14; vol. ix, pp. 518, 587; Rémusat’s Grammaire Chinoise;
Edkins’ China’s Place in Philology.
meaning of a large portion of the characters. These
names are in some respects more accurate than radical,
but have not come into general use. Their number has
been fixed at 214 for about four centuries; and those who
selected them o.¥. of the previous collections of 544 and
360, probably deemed it necessary to reduce them to a
manageable number. In doing so, the natural order
yielded to the artificial, so that a few incongruous. groups
like those under -L, 4, —+, JL, &c., could not be
avoided.
The Rev. J. A. Gongalves, in his Diccionario China-
Portuguez, further reduced the number to 127, bat this
diminution has proved to be only an additional labor to
all who use that book. His plan also involved an al-
phabetic arrangement, by which radicals having the same
number of strokes, were arranged in a regular sequence.
He made the letters, by taking the nine component parts
of the character j¢, which the Chinese regard as com-
bining in itself all the strokes used in writing, and mak-
ing them into the following series ¥-—- "J J Z | J
{ \. Characters having altogether the same number of
strokes, are arranged in this system, so that their first stroke
is one of these Jetters. Thus among characters having four
strokes, =-, 32, 5], 34. Hs, would follow each other in
this order. ‘The last three strokes never occurring at
the beginning of a character, reduces the whole prac-
tically tosix letters. :
In the Arte China, he has classified 1412 of the com-
monest characters in this manner, adding the radical to
each; but the plan nearly breaks down even in this
small number, and if extended to the whole language,
would prove to be quite impracticable. This ingenious
mode of arrangement is perfectly artificial; and in this
respect inferior to that by radivals, as it hides the natural
grouping which results from using them, and the student
loses that important aid to learning the characters. — -
“The native name ior radicalsis = #f, or Class characters ;
and a reference to the classified list on page 1153 will
show the general groups selected as classes. The student
is strongly recommended to commit them, so as to repeat
them in their proper order and write them correctly, as
the first thing he does. It is not necessary to learn them
by their number, any more than it is the letters of an
alphabet ; but it is well to divide them into groups by
the number of their strokes. Mr. Wade sorts theminto 187
colloquial, 80 classical, and 47 obsolete radicals ;—rather
a fanciful division, which has reference chiefly to the very
useful exercises he gives to make them familiar; the
obsolete ones are nearly the same as those marked with
a Cin the list on pages 1151—53. _ A reiirrangement of
some groups would improve them, no doubt; and a few
new radicals, as J} red, He a fuggot, A mulberry, or HE

tion in K‘anghi, compels one to take them as they now
stand.
It appears fronr researches into the cuneiform language,
that it also possessed something like the Chinese radicals.
“Certain classes of words,” says Rawlinson, speaking of
the language of the Assyrians, “have a sign prefixed or
suflixed to them, more commonly the former, by which
their general character is indicated. The names of gods,
of men, of cities, of tribes, of wild animals, of domestic
animals, of metals, of months, of the points of the compass,
and of dignities, are thus accompanied. ‘The sign pretixed
or suffixed may have originally represented a word, but
when used in the way here spoken of, it is believed that
it was not sounded, but served simply to indicate to the
reader the sort of word which was placed before him. Thus
a single perpendicular wedge YW indicates that the next
word will be the name of a man; and a wedge preceded
by two horizontal ones >>¥ tells us to expect the appella-
tive of a god; while other more complicated combinations
are used in the remaining instances. There are ten or
twelve characters of this description.”—Rawlinson’s Five
Ancient Monarchies, Vol. I., page 270.
It may be surmised, that the use of such signs
arose at a time, when the written language of the
Assyrians was ina transition state between the symbolical
and the alphabetic; and if they had been neighbors
of the Chinese, they might have adopted the former.
Chinese philologists have looked upon the radicals
chiefly «us expedients to facilitate the arrangement and
search for characters ; and have applied their efforts rather
to illustrate the composition and origin of the characters
themselves. In the #§ Hf, they are arranged in six
classes, and under each class, the supposed number of
characters belonging to it is stated, with much information
about their origin and changes.
1. Imitative symbols or # JE like J moon, 608,
2. Indicative symbols or 7 3 like = three, 107.
3. Symbols combining ideas or
4, Inverted symbols or #§ ff like JE standing, 372.
5. Syllabic symbols or Ff i like fi! a carp, 21,810.
6. Metaphoric symbols or {fg fff like jf) mind, 598,
It may be inferred, therefore, that the 2425 characters
comprised in five of these classes, include nearly or quite
all the ancient and original characters in the language ;
and that it is by the combination of a radical and phonetic,
‘that the vast majority of the words in the language have
been formed. ‘The introduction of printing and the
compilation of dictionaries, haye given more uniformity
and certainty to the characters, and there is now no
difficulty in ascertaining the correct forms. In a few
cases, slight variations, as {, and }{,, constitute different
words; in other cases, a change in the arrangement of
the parts, as tiff and fi, makes two different words.
@ F&F like Hl tears, 740.
The radicals rarely indicate the sounds of the characters
placed under them, but usually refer to their meanings,
and are generally quite conspicuons. ‘Their position,
contractions and interchanges, are described in the fol-
lowing list, in which tais analysis is confined to those
points which are of the most service to the student. The
interchange of radicals without altering the signification
of the character, as JE.and jg, or 4 and jf &ec., occurs
mostly when the two are analogous. Thus, the radicals
Wp heart and ¥ stone would never be interchanged ; but
the last might naturally be altered to FE gem or Fy, tile,
and the first to J, man. As a rule, the primitives inter-
change most frequently, but the alterations in radicals
are most perplexing.
The different position of the two parts sometimes alters
the meaning and sound of the word; this is seen in &
AK to step on stones in crossing water ; tén RR to thump,
as a vessel (a Canton word); ¢*oh 7 to drip; and ésah
AS an old form of A water dashing against stones.
In other cases, as in lah Hj; and yik J the sounds
of the characters alter by the transposition of their
component parts, while their meaning, to jly, to soar, does
not alter; but yh 4 to-morrow, differs in both sound.
and sense. These and. other changes are among the
curiosities of the language.
As the characters selected for radicals, comprise only
a small portion of the original characters of the language,
the rest must be distributed under these radicals. When
.the radical constitutes an integral part of a character, as
in ¥, 4, Wi, Bf, &c., it is said to be in combination ; for
if it be taken away, the remainder has no meaning. When
it is formed of a radical and a primitive, as in {i, gr
or 4, the two are described as in composition.
When the radicals have been learned, it is a good
practice to make them familiar by constructing sentences,
such as are furnished in Wade's Course, or Williams’
Easy Lessons. In doing so, the benefit of writing them
repeatedly cannot be too much insisted on; for our
habit, when learning western languages, to pay attention
chiefly to sounds as expressing ideas, makes us soon
oa § in learning complex forms like the Chinese ideo-
graphs. Some persons gradually give up studying the
written language, and content themselves with speaking
only, and thus by degrees lose even their acquaintance
with books.
In the following list, the contractions, and the C_pre-
fixed to those radicals which are used only in combina-
tion, are not inserted, as they are given in the Index list.
The word primitive is here used merely with reference
to the list in the next section ; and the application of the
remarks on each radical can be best seen, by referring to
the General Index.

TABLE OF RADICALS,
Showing the-position, changes and influence of each on its compounds, with an analysis of each group.
ONE STROKE.
1 Of this incongruous group of characters, about a dozen
— Yih) are primitives; this and the next seven groups contain
many original forms.
J 2 This radical passes through the middle of the other
“Kacun strokes in most of the characters, which Jaye no simi-
larity of meaning.
‘This radical is rather prominent ; but of the characters
only two are in common use.
This radical is the first stroke in nearly all its incon-
gruous compounds, most of the common ones being
primitives.
This is usually found on the right side like a nook, as in
a3 but there is no relationship in meaning among
the compounds.
This leads the most incongrvons group in the language ;
it contains “J, He and J, which are common primi-
tives; in others, their little use renders the difficulty
of finding theia less impcrtant.
TWO STROKES.
All the common characters are primitives; it some-
times incloses the other strokes as 1, or is put below
as in £¥, or on the left as in A.
This radical is placed on top, as BE it was adopted
merely to group together several incongruous and early
forms, as the lower half never forms another radical.
This group, with the exception of a few primitives, as
in AY and JA; &c., is anatural one ; the compounds
denote the actions, &c. of nan; the radical is usually
contracted on the left side, as 4F 3 in others astride as

A> sit is described os He A\ 85 and HE ae A,
or single-stand man, to distinguish it from No. 60 4 :
This is placed underneath, as SL, &e., and is distin-
guished from No. 16 by a separation of the strokes ; its
compounds are not readily recognized, the upper part
being another radical in a few, or else in combination
as RR 3 they have no likeness of meaning.
11 "This and No. 9 are distinguished by this being placed
Thy on top as A, or in the middle as FH 5 the meanings
are incongruous, and all the common characters are
primitives.
This radical is placed above as in Fe. or below as in BL 5
some practice is required to recognize it in the com-
pounds, which have no common significance.
43 The largest part of this group is really under its com-
UNG ond [=] a cap, which being similar to A day,
renders it difficult to distinguish and RR 3 in many
others, as fie and ie it isin combination.
This radical called FE ba #8; or bald-precions cover,
lies over the other strokes, nd does not envelope them
like the last ; there is some relationship to its meaning in
a part of the characters.

several characters are interchanged with No. 85.
This is distinguished from No. 10 JL, by its inclosing
the other strokes in about half the compounds ; in the
rest it is underneath, or on the right.

regular form is placed below, as in Zp 3 the group has
reference to cutting, severity, and uses of weapons, form-
ing « natural colection.
In a few cases, as 9, this radical is put below, but it
is easily distinguished from the last by not being con-
tracted ; the compounds relate to strength, fatigue, vio-
lence, &c.; several hybrid characters, as oceur

mon use.

are unlike, therefore, and some practice is needed to find
them.
This radical is mostly found on top as Bs or on the
right side ; the group contains many ancient forms, and
all partake somewhat of its meaning.
This radical, when on the right side as in most cases,
resembles No. 163, as in HH ; when at the bottom,
it is like No. 49 as %§ 3 most of its common compounds
are primitives.

, THREE STROKES.
a pe This is usually found on the left side ; when it is at the
& ‘\ottom or in combination, as BR Fz or J the character
is probably an original one ; it is employed to indicate
that the character is used phonetically, as Ujyt WE for
coffee, and many words under it in Kanghi’s Dictionary
are of this kind ; veice, names, actions of the mouth, &c.
are the general meanings; many are onomatapoetic.
8 Hane ; In this group, the radical incloses the primitive, as fl 3

in, &.
ees Tu is placed on: the. left or underneath ; the group
Tu generally relates to things and kinds of earth ; several
characters are interchanged with No. 150 uN and No.
170-HA, afew with No. 85 JX and No. 112 #y ; the
radical is called By + \& kicking-earth at-side, in allu-
sion to its shape.
This has a Jong upper stroke, and is placed at the top
as in = by which it can be distinguished from the
preceding ; the group is incongruous, and the common
words are all primitives.
This also is found on the top, and its transverse stroke
begins within the left one, which distinguishes it from
the next.
XL 38 The transverse stroke projects, and it is placed under-
Sts neath as in B; the characters are mostly obsolete,
A 26 More than half these characters are formed of another
7 Silky radical g; as HB ; their meanings are incongruous,
though ideas of number appear in a large proportion.
Ky: This radical enters so much into combination that its
Ti compounds are rather puzzling, as K and 3 5 they
have little affinity in meaning, and a large part are
primitives ; it is mostly placed on, the top.
kk < Na Usually found on the left, as 4, or underneath, or in
combination as Z 3 the group relates to females, beauty,
intrigue, lewdness, &c.
-F- ‘ Ts, , Tsz’ is placed underneath and on the side ; it is tripled
82" in a few as EB: and combined as 4; the compounds
mostly refer to children, and to scholars, learning, &c.,
<Mien Th, radical, called > FF HA and me 3 i,
alluding to the head and shoulders of aman, and dam
pung t'au in Canton, covers the other strokes ; but when
they form another radical, it isnot certain under which
half the character is to be looked for ; about twenty of the
compounds are formed of aR contracted, as 42, all of
which refer to sleeping ; with these exceptions, the mean-
ings relate to shelter, houses, &c.
6 FH In this group, which is a miscellaneous one, the radical
Tss‘un? is placed underneath or on the right ; most of the com-
meu words are primitives.
ay Po o Nearly half of this group is formed of the character DP

SECT. VIII.—THE PRIMITIVES.
That part of a character which is not the radical, has
no name among the Chinese, but foreigners have termed
it the primitive or phonetic. Neither of these names is
entirely suitable, for that part of a character which is not
the radical cannot always be said to have been formed
first, any more than that it always imparts its sound to
the united symbol. For instance, in the character 4,
the combination of the radicals Fj mouth and J, selfish,
to form the word for exalted, is etymologically speaking
only apparent, since the upper half is really a contraction
of JJ dy, which having now lost its full form, has become
simply J, to the learner. In this case, one half is just
as much a primitive as the other, and neither of them
imparts its sound to the character. Not so with the 35 -

derivatives in which this symbol é*az 4» occurs, where it
unites with the radicals =f. hand, jf heart, 7K water, 7 ice,
&c. to make common words like $4} to carry, | concord,
to rule, {¥ to melt, &c.; for in such it is properly a
prumitive, in so far that in all of them it was a full char-
acter before combining with those radicals. Yet it is not
strictly their phonetic ; for these four are now read fai, 7,
chi and yé. Such combined words probably take their
ie sound from this part in rather more than one
alf of the total number of characters in the language,
whatever they may have done in earlier times. Still it
misleads the learner so often to call it the phonetic, if he
looks to it to get the sound, that Marshman’s term primi-
tiveis preferable. When the primitive does give its sound,
as under ff and its 33 derivatives, and was evidently
taken to express it, the term phonetic is proper ; and both
words are useful in describing characters.
Dr. Marshman was the first who investigated the
composition of Chinese characters in this manner. He
made a complete classification of all those in Kanghi’s
Dictionary, so that their construction could be seen ac-
cording to their primitives. He applied this term to
that portion of a character which is left after its radical is
removed; and used the word derivatives to express the
compound formed by the union of a radical and a primi-
tive. He found thai the language contains 3867 of such
primitives, that is, characters which combine at least once
with a radical to form a third. He added the 214
radicals themselves, most of which also combine as primi-
tives with other radicals, and thus estimated that about
4081 characters out of the 41,000 in the dictionary,
should be classed as primitives. The greatest number
which spring from any one is 74, but the average is less
than ten.
OF this total number, he ascertained that 1726 com-
bine only once with a radical to form a third character,
and as they are all derivatives themselves, they may for
all practical purposes be excluded from the list. Such a
character is the derivative formed of +» and ff read
chung @ which afterwards combines with J, to make
{f@, and with nothing else ; another example is an old or
erroneous form of 3% with jf undermeath, a mere synony-
mous variety of itself.
There are also 452 others, formed, generally speaking,
in the same manner from other derivatives, each of which
produces only two philological shoots, and may be dis-
carded for the same reason, their great rarity. These
together make 2178 characters, which as they are the
parents of only 2630 derivatives, and are themselves
mostly included under simpler forms, can have little
influence on the great mass of characters, and may all
be dropped from the reckoning.
There are then about 1689 primitives in the language,
from which, by the addition of 214 of their own number,
are formed at least seven-eighths of all the characters in
the Chinese language. This for all practical purposes is
equivalent to the whole. This number of primitives can
be redaced still more without injury, by striking off those
whose derivatives form only three unusual characters, and
those which are obsolete or synonymous, by referring
them as sub-groups under their more conspicuous primi-
tives. In describing them they may be arranged for con-
venience into the following five classes, according to the
relation they bear to the radicals. a.
I.—The 214 radicals themselves, when used as primi=
tives.—There are only 127 of them included in Callery’s
list, but these are of frequent occurrence. When two
combine side by side, as WE, Hy, agi, HE, &c., the one
which imparts the sound is usually made the primitive
by its location in Kanghi’s Dictionary, and the character
should be sought for first under the other radical. When
they are placed one above the other, as &, &, 2s, 2,
&c., the signification of the word has mostly guided its
position in the dictionary, but no rules can be laid down;
most of the characters so formed are themselves primi-
tives. Under the radical 9]¢ water there are 117 com-
pounds, which are made by combining it with another
radical, of which 59 follow its sound, and 58 do not, or
are primitives. Out of 115 similar characters under 7X
wood, as many as 72 are sounded like their phonetic,
and about 20 of the remainder as 3%, AF, Gt, ce, are
primitives. Out of 101 such derivatives under ji
plants, as many as 78 retain the sound of the primi-
tive radical. Out of the 333 derivatives of this sort under
these three common radicals, only one #4 has the sound
of the radical muh, and that is wrongly placed, seeing it
is a sort of bird, and muh is really the primitive. The
compilers of the dictionary were occasionally careless in
this respect, and have distributed characters erroneously,
according to their own rules; as for instance 2 fine
hair, is found under Jf, and not ander 3G its proper
radical. It is useful to know this arrangement, in order
the sooner to know where to look for a character in
Kanghi’s Dictionary.
IL.—Primitives formed of a radical, by an addition
which is of itself unmeaning.—When the radicals were
reduced from 544 to their present number, the compilers
of the = %@ were likely to distribute such of them as
were not important enough to use as radicals, wherever
they could most easily be found, without regard to their
meaning. For instance, @ and #%, are placed under
FH and “JK; but the remaining strokes possess no
meaning when it is removed, nor have those three char-
acters any reference to bow, mile or fire. All such are
among the most ancient and common characters in the
language, and number more than four hundred in all.
=
lviii.
INTRODUCTION.
Most of them are contained in the list of difficult cha-
racters given after the Index on page 1239.
IIl.—Primitives formed of two radicals, or which ean
be separated into two complete radicals.—Some which come
under this class, when analysed, have only a stroke or
two as one of its radicals, as wh, J, FE, KA, &e;
but most of them as #2, 7. an, AA, ce. are readily
divisible into two common ones, and are most easily
learned by remembering their component parts. A few,
are composed of a radical repeated, as 3, +5, #f, AR,
Hil, é&c., which are readily noticed. The number of both
these kinds of primitives is over two hundred.
IV.—Primitives formed of three or four-radicals.—
They are fewer in number than the preceding, and when
their radical is removed, the rest is not usually a com-
plete character, but is divisible into two radicals. Such
are Fi, He, A, 4A. BK, &e., which are much easier
learned and remembered as integral primitives than by
their component parts. About thirty characters in the
language are formed by the triplication of single radicals,
a8 $f Ba» Fe Ako unt» Le.s of which only five are common
primitives. The last three classes together compose about
half of the 1689 primitives, and most of the elementary
Chinese characters.
V.—Primitives formed from a derivative by the addi-
tion of another radical, or by the combination of two
derivatives. This class is, so to speak, of the third
generation, and one of its parts will therefore be found
in one of the preceding classes. Thus, 74, F aud ¥
may all be regarded as flowing from 4, however little
connection they may have with it in meaning ; and each
of them is joined again to several radicals as primitives.
Such is also the case with 4, fj, and 4, whose progeny
as B%, Mf and ¥, or ae, ‘Be and fy with F, ZF and
$j, and others, all combine with radicals to form new
derivatives. A few of this class are composed of two
derivatives, as Ef, $f, ia which form a small collection
easily recognized. ‘The language contains many cha-
racters of this kind, which in classifying them by their
primitives as Oallery has done, must be left out; but
when arranged by a radical, can be easily assorted.
They are not very common indeed, as $i, S28, Ma, cc.
but this dilemma of either rejecting them altogether, or
making the index table too cumbersome to use, indicates
the imperfection of this plan for general arrangement.
What the student is most concerned with is to find a cha-
racter quickly, and he soon sees that the practical point
to be decided is whether to have 214 or 1689 keys to
help him in his search. There can be no hesitation
about the relative facilities of the two sets of determina-
tives for this special purpose, and that the 214 radicals
demand the most careful study of the two.
This combination of a radical and primitive to form the
great mass of the Chinese characters, whether the latter
half is used as a mi@e phonetic as in #8, or to aid the
sense of the derivative, as in Bf], is such an important
part of the language, that the student will derive advantage
from examining the primitives to this end. ‘The essay of
Marshman, contained in his Clavis Sinica, shows the
fascination,that such an analysis of the characters had
over him. An acquaintance with the general principles
which the Chinese have followed in combining them,
will doubtless assist in remembering the characters, and
whatever diminishes this labor is advantageous. No one
who means to read and talk Chinese can avoid the
drudgery of learning its characters. I have, therefore,
made an analysis of the groups found under each of the
| primitives given by Callery, in the belief that a careful
study of it will repay the student, who wishes to become
familiar with the written language.
The number of primitives in his list is 1040, or about
two-thirds of the number collected by Marshman; but
the derivatives from the remaining 649 are proportionately
very few. Callery has defined only the most important
of the words under each primitive, and the total mumber
of characters contained in his Systema is 12,753. The
highest number of derivatives is 74 under No. 285 4, of
which he gives only 33; under No. 1040 @@ he gives
only 9 of the 80 which actually occur; but his selection
comprises all that are in common use.
The primitives of the same number of strokes are
arranged in the following list under the six letters con-
trived by Gongalves, and described in the last section ;
and if their application be learned, it will not be difficult
to find each character. I have followed his order and
list, because it will render reference to his work easy;
but his mode of arrangement seems to have only one
advantage, viz., that it shows the possibility of such an
alphabetic device. If they had been arranged by their
radicals, it wout2 haye rendered them more accessible.
It will be easy, however, for the student to mark the
number of each primitive in the general index, and that
will then serve as a guide to find them by their proper
radical. ‘This list has been reprinted in Doolittle’s
Vocabulary, Part ILL., page 455-478, where the common
derivatives under each are given.

LIST OF 1040 PRIMITIVES.
According to-Callery’s SystemaPhoneticum; with the common sounds, and an analysis of the respective
groups under each.
TWO STROKES.
Rad. 5.—The sounds under this primitive are yih, chah,
wah, yah, and kiu; the characters placed under it as a
coat might also be reckoned ; it is a contraction, as
in #L, for Ji and reappears in No. 150 FL and No.
88 E:
F 3 A flatus.—This group is read k’ao and hiu ; the pri-
a mitive is found in No. 194 B, and perhaps also in No.
241 3%} it is never used alone.
+, _ Rad. 24.—This character has modified the meanings
Shihy of some of its compounds, which are read shih, ki, chin
and hieh. 2
7. 4 — A man.—This phonetic gives the sound to nearly all its
«Ting derivatives, the others being read chang and ta; it is
used as a contraction for No. 841 , and No. 518 =
Hows froma it.
Rad. 18.—The half-score of characters under this are
read tae, except one or two read ch*u, and their meam-
ings are not influenced by it perceptibly ; it is not the
same as No. 84 YJ, though the two are often written
slike.
Rad. 19.—The derivatives here are read Jih and
lieh or liteh ; an offshoot ah hich produces a sub-group
in No. 659 #4, having no affinity with it.
EB , Rad. 2%6.—This resembles No. 82 (4, and reappears in
Tstehy
No. 66 JJ and No. 267 f& 3 the compounds are read
San, pien and yuen, and in some of them it is a con-
- ’ traction of No 127 7E-
Ty s Js,—This group is read nat, jéng and yin; there
“Nat jg no similarity in the meanings of the characters.
Rad. 16.—This occurs more frequently as a primitive
than a radical, and is often used as a contraction for
No. 856 #8; one or two are read 7u and kiuh, all the
2
others Ai.
Aes Nine.—This and the last are easily confounded, and
Kiu Wo, 16 Jf is interchanged in a few cases; the leading
sound is hiu, the others are kwéi, kao and sith,
L: Bi Rad. 21.—Fror this proceeds No. 108 Jf, with which
P one of this group AL is easily confounded; the sounds

for 3E in Xf, and hi in ME} the compounds are
read yiu, yu, and nih.

is not readily confused with itself when a radical.
THREE STROKES.
TE Wang Zo de.—This reappears in No. 217 JG and No. 488
. and a coramon derivative [ors is often interchanged
with it, and regarded almost as a synonym; the sounds
are wang, mang, and mung.
In.—This is now a synonym of No. 21 =; but was
originally distinguished, and in those compounds read
wu, it is usually retained ; others are read hwa.
Rad. 51.—The largest part of this group is read. kan ;
si others are han, ngan, hien, kien and kieh ; No. 364 =
flows from it, and it is sometimes confounded with No.
49 Tt and the next,
Jn.—It is interchanged with No. 19 FG in several cha-
racters ; its sounds are all yit and ji, but the significa-
tions vary greatly.
A plateau.—The sounds here are like the primitive,
except WL yueh ; their meanings are not influenced by it.
Rad, 37.—This primitive is sometimes wrongly written —
like No. 72 FR as GR for HK; and also 7; its deri-
vatives are read ¢o, tai and fi.
me Change staff.—This character is also written eS partly to
distinguish it from the last; the compounds all read
chang, and exhibit some ‘reference to the meaning of
their phonetic.
Rad. 56.—This and No. 75 Hy are Jiable to be con-
founded ; its compounds are mostly read yih, others
being yuen and teh, the last gk making a sub-group.
Below. —These few characters are read hija or sha and
teh; they show no trace of the primitive in their mean-
ing; No. 57 i might sometimes be taken for it,
Rad. 48.-—This primitive has a large sub-group under No,
646 A, and smaller ones under kiting wp, No:
250 Jk and No. 384 2 5 its derivatives ate mostly
read kung and hung, then kang, kiang and kiting.
Rad, 32.—This group is read t'u, mu and shié; its
characters indicate no affinity with its meaning, and one
of them FE leads a few derivatives.
Rad. 41.—This must not be confounded with tlie next;
it is used as a contraction for = by rapid penmen ; its
derivatives are read tsiin, sheu, cheu and tao; Xf and
oF both lead off several others.

tive resembles FE bald, which forms HE uh and #i
ti, and this Tast again forms Jffi ; but this small
group is not worth separating.

and sien; this primitive is so nearly like No. 341 4
that they are often confounded, and this oue is wrongly

Taw - FB, andis uniformly read tao.
= Hs Happily.—This primitive differs from No. 296 =
and is sometimes written in pedantic or ancient
hg style ; the derivatives are mostly read /ing, and half of
them mean to note ; it reappears in No. 927 2.
To take.—This resembles No. 314 RL; about one-half
of the charactors change into tsew and cheu; No, 864
tk forms a sub-group.
413 To show out.—From the similarity in sound, this is
417
Tsu
R ‘Piao ‘sometimes interchanged with No. 752 & 3 the deriva-
tives are read piao.
3 To Poisonous.—This group is read duh, except Se tai, but
> has no unity of meaning; the incorrect form di is
ocessionally seen.
i 420 Rad. 174.—Some confusion exists in these derivatives,
<Lsing many of which properly come under the radical ; all
are read tsing, except eR chai, and many of them
relate to color. es
421 , e oh. ;
Augury.—A sub-group from No. 289 =f 3 its
Eb Kio Gheoartenh mostly refer to suspension, and are read kwa
and hwa.
422 4 road.—These are mostly read Jih, with mith and
Luh, kw; their meauings seldom have reference to the primi-
tive.
¥e 423 An eminence.—This resembles the preceding, but is
cZing sever interchanged with it; the characters are read
ling or ling.
oe Second to.—The prevailing sounds are ngoh and ya;
= this primitive forms sub-groups under 4 and eo" and
No. 819 3:
Ke Ta 9 Hast.—This resembles No. 532 WH in poorly-printed
. books ; the compounds are read dung except pai chan,
but their meanings have no likeness.
Eo 426) A ffair.—Uniform in sound with the primitive, but
# Shi? showing no affinity to its meaniug.
wh 427 =©Extreme.—The compounds of this phonetic follow its
Ri, sound, and it is almost a synonym of JfH its most
common character.
iz] Hush, © limn.—This is regarded as a contraction of #ay~
and the full form is also found in well-printed books ;
the characters are mostly read /woh.
EX ‘Kio, Pobust.—This resembles HX, and its full form BE
seems to have been often intended in the compounds ;
No. 946 & and No. 995 en form two sub-groups ;
kien, hien, shu, kin, shén and kang are the sounds
under it.
BK 430 Perhaps.—This group is read kwoh, hweh or yuh;
Hwols tere ave sub-groups under No. 794 fj and Be
elegant.
Ww #32 =Two.—The sounds in this group are all Jiang, and a
“Liang tinge of its meaning is seen iu several of them.
a 422 =A forest.—Thesovnds Jan, lin, shén and pin occur
cLin under this primitive ; it is not the same as i> with
which it is occasionally confounded.
Py ry To cleave.—This is derived from No. 99 Fr and the
? group is uniformly sounded si, but the compounds show
nothing of its meaning.
HAS Sing A pine. —This is derived from No, 116 Zy of which
it is a sub-group; all are read sung, but Lave uo
likeness of m2aning.
rod This.—A large aud homophonous group; three small
=~ S** ~ sub-groups flow from it, as H& a foundation, No. 284
HF that, and A dluish.
= 438. Anciently.—The sounds sih, tsih, tsoh and tsioh, in the
Sihy juh shing, and cha, tso and tsié in the shang shing
occur; one derivative No. 910 #8 heads a small
sub-group.
x 437 = Light.—The sounds of tsien, chan and tsan are common
¢Tsan jn this group ; some sub-groups are formed from it.
ip <8 To sweep.—Sao and fw are the sounds ; one derivative
Cael 45 is another form of the primitive, which is not in use.
FA oe Rad. 169.—Two are read wdn, and the others mdn;
Stan some of them properly belong to Fy as a radical.
440
He Tai
441
WS i,
Rad. 171.—This group mostly belongs to sk as a
radical, and it is impossible to decide under which class
to look for a character.
To dwell.—Regular in its form and sound, and three
or four of the group show some analogy to the primi-
tive in their signification.
Dimon To bend.—The sounds are kitih, kuh, kiieh and huh ;
™) . the primitive comes from No. 207 tH, with which it is
occasionally interchanged.
Bx #45 To connect.—The sound of these characters is mostly
FR Chohy choh, then chui, toh and &; an idea of continuity is
often seen in their meanings.
ez] #42 A letter.—The sounds here are uniformly han, but the
<Han sionifications are unlike.
4 446 First.—A small collection, read médng ; the derivatives
Mang? are of trifling importance.
iy we A particle.—The compounds are go or o; it is one of
9? ceveval sub-groups derived from No. 145 F-
Sha? To receive.— All but one cea wan of this collection are
"eu" yead sheu, and that is rarely used.
x #48 To approach.—This group is read yin; there are few
stin common characters except es and bea the last of
which reiippears in ya a soaking rain.
on 449 — Ornamental.—One of this group is read Aewéi, an ex-
‘Ts*#i ception to the usual sound of sai ; four or five are
common characters.
a. 450 = To dissens.—This group is read chang and ésing ; some
<Chang of the words affect the meaning as well as the sound of
the primitive ; it is interchanged with No. 420 Fy:
Rad. 175.—Most of this group read /éi, the others
are read pat and pé; the distinction between it as a
phonetic and a radical is dubious.
F+: 482 United.—The sounds of ping, pung and p‘ien occur in
«Ping this group; the primitive is often contracted to 3,
and may be sought for under six strokes.
> 453 A rol],—These are all read kiien, and a trace ef its
Ktie yreaningis perceptitle in any of the derivatives ; where
the radical is placed underneath, = is sometimes con-
tracted to No. 219 F€, which thus becomes a synonym.
To Inow.—Uniformly read chi, this group has no simi-
larity in meaning.
A Jaw.—This collection of characters is read oi, but
their meanings are very diverse.

Pendent.—Tho sounds clui, to, shut and yue occur in
£Chut the group, in which no affinity of meaning is seen.
To depute.—The sound wé varies into wo, jui, jwa,
néi and ngai; this primitive is like No. 336, R, and
the two are often written wrongly.
A. pinch.—The sounds of this group follow the primi-
tive, and in many of the characters some glimpses of
its meaning are seer.
Fat.—All ave read /€i, and one or two show some
analogy to the primitive, as ria ill from obesity ; it is
interchanged with 4, in one instance.
A friend.—This group is read pang, with one or two
read ping ; 2 sub-group of nine characters is formed from
ji » many of them synonymous forms of it.
To subdue.—All are sounded fuk or puh ; this group is
properly derived from to govern, under which are
found ¥% to recompense, Disa to blush, and others.
Crime.—These are sounded Zi and 7é&; their meanings
differ widely from the primitive.
To open.—OQOne character beg chao is peculiar in its
sound, and the primitive always covers the radical.
Around.—So many in this group are read tiae, that the
more usual sound chew is made doubtful ; their meanings
have no affinity.
A kilu.—-This group is all read #ao; the primitivo is
derived from No. 258 47, and the two have many
synonyms, '
Suddenly.—Nearly alike in sound, as hwuh or uh, these
> characters also present many analogies in their mean-
ings; the primitive proceeds from No. 96 Ay » and is not
the same as No. 563 7. t
A pit.—This character proceeds from FI a mortar, and
its compounds are read kien, yen, han, Ikan, tan, chan
and kiah; ideas alluding to cavities occur in several.
Joy ful.—Many of this group are synonyms with those
under No. 99 Fr and resemble their primitive in
sound and sense.
A fault.—These differ wholly in sound and sense, aud
no analogy can be traced; the primitive ee tsan
resembles it ; NS pe and #5 are all its derivatives.
A child.—This is often erroneously written La mao ;
the group is read ’rh, ¢ or xi, a few varying, and many
show a trace of the primitive.
An instant.—This is often contracted to ma, and like
No. 467 and No. 953 aL, is derived from | a
inortar ; its compounds are all read it.
Rad. 172.—As a primitive, this is confounded with kia
4: aud must be regarded as the same ; a sub-group is
formed frora +E a sparrow, which then resembles No.
626 AE 3 the sounds shui, sui, tui, hwei, wei and chun
occur under it.
Taffety.—This group is read poh, mien and kin, and
one of them Sf has two derivatives.
Rad. 170.—The derivatives are all read feu except ig
pu, but their meanings are unlike ; in some characters
it is contracted to No. 208 =f when the radical is
under.
ek my Despicable.—This group is mostly read pi, then pé?
f° and pai; it is often incorrectly written like No. 498 58.
Fre ig Obscure.—This character is altered to ER in_ those
which are read min, apparently to indicate their dif-
ference from those read /iwun, which more resemble
the primitive.
477 = To think on.—The sounds nien, nieh, yen, jan, tien and
2th Nien? shan occur in this group, but none of the characters
assimilate to the meaning of the primitive.
es 478
ois Rad. 167.—As a phonetic, this gives the sound of hin
(Kin
to nine, the others being read yin and chao; GX forms
a sub-group of three.
Food.—This group is uniformly read hiao, but no like-
ness is traceable in its meanings ; it is made of No. 115
pd placed above 13} flesh.
To join.--Lun, the usual sound, rarely runs into Jiien;
the meanings do not correspond.
A cottage.—This is derived from No. 262 > with
which it has some synonyms; in eh and #E it is
altered from the radicals 4P and B-
To carve.—The compounds are read Juhk and peh;
No. 584 3 is much like this in appearance.

is also written #4; but is not interchanged with No.
362 SY.
484 4 younger uncle.—The sounds here are shuk, tsuh, tuh,”
Shuhy tsih and tsiao; their meanings are quite unlike.
<A8% — Willing.—This group is read kang and shih ; the prim-"
KANG tive is a little like No. 479 F-
486 To excel.—The sound choh varies into chao in nearly

Rt id A tiger.—This is regarded as another form of Rad. 141
= YB and all the compounds are so read; No, 672 WE
and J; each make a smill sub-group.
ea : 488 None of.—This group is scunded wang; the primitive
Wang +. sometimes contracted to PX), which more easily dis-
tinguishes it from the next.
i ena A peak.—These compounds are all read kang, but have
‘Kang 114 resemblance in meaning ; Fi is altered to fe in
some of them; this and the last are easily confouneled.
neh = To prepare.—This group is read ki; the phonetic is
Ki? often written like No. 367 ? A, with which it has noth-
ing in common.
Ei, 492 An obstacle.—The half of these are read ngaé and the
“WH Ngai? rest teh; the primitive has some relation to No, 240
in some of the synonyms.
O68 Fea Ci ; ;
BS Ra Fruit. ‘About two-thirds of this group nares. ia the
wo sound kwo, but the others, read iwo, lo, wo, Java and
iwan, are so much in use, that the primitive is no guide

3 483 =Dright.—One of this small group is read méng, the
sMing others ming ; there is no resemblance in the meanings.
494 =o alter.—Most of these derivatives are read tih, others
A Yihy i, yih, sih, tse’ and sing ; the primitive is similar to
No. 592 3 light.

¢Kwun third of this group; in badly-printed books the primitive

Fa ri Stable. —This flows from No. 153 #f; and the group
“ig nearly uniformly sounded, ku, ko and hoh being
variants.

though confounded with it; the group is regularly
sounded pi.
ato ° ro] .
ve, A granary.—This and No. 377 are easily con-
lal eA sind , and the similarity of their sounds ‘iun and
/wdn is a reason for particular care.
Hi Pind A law.—This group follows the phonetic tien; one
*e? variant is read fun; in some cases, No. 953 HL is
badly written like this.
ft 501 Still.—This group is read shang, chang and tang;
Shang similarity of sound may lead beginners to confound this
and No. 715 a; several sub-groups flow from it, as
No. 870 fi No. 1032 38 No. 786 "Hf, No. 914 ‘i,
No. 858 3% and others.
% Tuk Heavy.—This group is read tah ; in a few of the cora-

Be 508 —Suddenly.—One sound, tuh guides this group, but no
Tuhy ingenuity can detect any uniformity in the significations.
TEA 59S Constant.—This group somewhat resembles No. 503,
sHang but it is a sub-group from No. 228 i, and all the cha-
racters are read Adng; none are much used.
yok A sovereign.—In combination this is occasionally in-
at terchanged with No. 755 me and altered to li: but
the group is nearly uniform in sound and form ; shi yin
is an anomaly.
583 Rad. 180.—The use of this character as a phonetic or
«dim a yadical is often perplexing ; most are read nyan, the rest
yin, yen and iin ; some cf them are good examples of
ideographiy writing, as IF sick in sound for drunk.
WE 7, A pennon.—This is also correctly written pa 3 the sounds
$7 ore all yin, but the meanings arc unlike ; it resembles the
next in its form. :
820 J» concede.—This appears to be derived from No. 35
sls Bt and is often contracted to in common books ;

511 A measure.—-The sounds here are tu, toh and tuh ; it re-
>
sie sembles, but is not likely to be confounded with sth if
a mat, as that forms no compounds.
Ye Wise.—A group nearly all read yen and ngan; the
correct form is contracted to E in well-printed books.
ae 13 An arbor.—This sub-group arises from No. 4 Jy and
is sounded <¢‘ing ; the primitive varies into aL at all
: ee times.
Fak To revert to.—The primitive as been superseded by
¥, one of its compounds, No. 849 18, which leads a sub-
p ; the sounds are fuh and pif, ancimany characters
show traces of the primitive in their meaning. k
Gi 615 An army.—The sounds in this group are kiiin, hiiin,
cAitiin yun, hwun, lacén and hweéi, but in only a few cases is
there any hint of the meaning of the primitive.
516 Rad. 185.—Of this group, only two of the fom come
*Sheu under it, which are read tao.
iy 517 Before—A lomophouous collection read tsien, but
Ns Tsien only one or two of them show traces of the primitive in
their signification.
#B sald To report to.—This might properly have remained a
Taz sub-group of No, 221 ZR, with which it agrees in sound.
519 To memorialize.—These characters vary fron. isew to
Tsew chew in a few cases; the primitive is casily confounded
with No. 633 B unless care is taken.
Px Gwe The spring.—This group is read chtun nearly through-
aint out; No. 732 is sometimes confounded with it, by
being contracted to this form.
pe Kies A coffer.—This flows from No. 804 mR, of whick it is
*€") 4 derivative ; the groups resemble each other in sense
and sound.
7G P ri To fall.—The compounds are read to; the primitive is
° otherwise written WS without altering its sense; the
sub-group No. 833 flows from {a> but the others are
unused. .

«W& unusual, nor liable to be confounded with those under
No. 233 Ji if care be used.

SN™ Fan, and one derivative Jai originates the few under
No 884.

FS Hieh, when used as a radical, show the difficulty of deciding
where to put them ; ia reiippears in No. 847; the
sounds are sii aud fan.
ww 526 Rad, 176.—The similarity of sound has mijed this
Mien? group, which in many cases decides whether to put it
here or under the radical; the meanings are incon-
gruous.
Bd 827 Tender.—The sounds in this group are jwan, no and
‘Jwan van; the meanings in several cases exhibit traces of
the primitive.

FR ¢Pén pin; the form of this primitive suggests some aflinity
to No. 149 AX.

Those who are curious to follow the manner in which
these primitives unite to form groups and sub-groups of
derivatives, will easily be able to do so by running one or
two through the radicals It will soon be perceived
how far they really serve as phonetics now, and how
cautious one must be in deducing the sound from the
primitive, especially of words in the juh shing. This
combination of radicals and primitives is easily paralleled
in other languages, especially in Greek and German,
whose facility of compounding and decompounding roots
and prefixes gives them such power and variety of ex-
pression. If there was a possibisity or use in a universal
language, in which mankind could convey their thoughts
irrespective of the sound of the symbols, the Chinese
seems to be the best fitted for it, inasmuch as the system
of combination here explained is susceptible of infinite
development to express almost any name or idea.
Out of this whole number 106 characters are either
imperfect, contracted forms, not in use, or such as are
rarely met with, leaving 934 common characters, most of
which occur as often as any of their compounds. One
advantage of learning this list, is the readiness it gives
the student in reckoning the number of strokes in a
character. When it has only a few strokes as HH, #£ or
$4, there is no hesitation in the search; but when their
number is over twelve, as in Mi, BE or $i, it saves much
time to know at sight, that they are to be found under
14, 13, or 21 strokes respectively. It is easy to ascertain
the strokes by inspection, after becoming familiar with
their construction, and is more rapid than to count them.
For instance, lj is composed of [J mouth joined to £f
the 256th primitive, and ji the 211th radical, making
21 strokes, under which number itis placed. In others,
like 3, or 9, or $i], where the component parts are not
so easily separable, to know by sight that the characters
occur under 12, 14, and 17 strokes respectively, is worth —
all the previous labor spent upon learning the primitives,
in the time it saves.
Callery has given a score of pages containing sentences
constructed out of the primitives, in order to assist in
learning them. It will be worth more to the student to
make and write sentences himself, ont of the characters
contained in the two preceding lists, and thereby familia-
rize himself with their use. The practice of repeatedly.
writing the characters, is the best way to imprint them
on the memory ; but it may be made more serviceable, by
trying to form them into sentences. The proper manner
of forming a character can best be learned by imitating
a native as he writes, and it is the only way to produce
well-shaped characters. It is not worth while to spend
much time in using the Chinese pencil, for we are more
familiar with the pen ; and to make an accurate character
is »uore important than to write an clegant gue,

USES OF THE TWELVE HORARY CHARACTERS.
The application of the Twelve Branches to the hours of the day dates from before the time of the construction of the
Sexagenary Cycle (n.c. 2637), and is ascribed to the Celestial Sovereign. They are also called Ti Chi Hh xX Earthly
Branches, and the animal which represents each branch is supposed to have great iufluence upon the destiny of the person
born during the hour it rules; the Mongols, Coreans, Japanese, Siamese and Annamese apply these animals to the same
signs; and the combination of the animal with the hours, and then with the zodiacal constellations, on through the points of
compass, and the elements, all furnish the groundwork for the astrologer’s skill and influence. To express European hours
it is enough to prefix kiao ws and ching JF. to the characters; thus, ching-tsz’ JE Ff is midnight, ae Ff is 1 o'clock AM.
and so throughout. Each Chinese hour is divided into eight k‘oh yi of fifteen minutes each.

it is often printed so as to be

A particle of varied uses;
an interrogative adverb or inter-

after nouns it denotes the voca-
tive ; after negatives and adjectives
it forms the comparative degree ;
when it follows a verb, it becomes
a preposition meaning to leave or
reach a point, at, in, towards,
to, from; in consequence of, or in

This is the only mode of reckoning years employed by the Chinese. Their records state that Nao the Great Kk be3 was
commanded by his sovereign H wangti, in the 61st year of his reign, to examine the relations of the five elements, and form
a eycle to name the years; he did so by taking kiah, the first of the ten stems, and joining it to tsz’, the first of the twelve
branches, to denote the first year of the cycle; the second characters of each series were then joined to form yueh-chew, and
soon, going through the ten stems six times, and the twelve branches five times, as shown in this table. This is supposed to have
been in the year B. c. 2637, which according to Hales was 518 years after the deluge. The,Chinese have never kept up a serial
numbering of the cycles, but the 75th ended in 1863 with the 4500th year of their annals; there were 44 before the birth of
Christ, ending A. D. 3; and there have been 31 cycles since that date, up to A. p. 1864. This mode of naming the years is
followed by the Coreans, Japanese, and Lewchewans, and has done much to simplify and preserve their chronology.

part called Ulterior Tibet # 3% or Kambu Jif, is divided into six cantons, one of which, Ari fif Fi occupies
most of its western half. A portion of the eastern part of Turkestan 3 §@ is politically included within the
province of Kansuh, which extends across the Desert to Urumchi and Barkoul ; but since the year 1865, the
Chinese sway over the whole region has been reduced to appointigg nominal officers over its various districts ; and
the Southern Circuit has been completely lost to them since the Mohammedan insurrection in Kansuh and Shensi ;
these divisions are therefore likely to be superseded by others under a different rule.

* There are strong reasons for the
inference that the early sovereigns of the
Chinese worshiped the spirits of their
deified ancestors under this term, to
whom they looked for help ; one oe ]
was sullicient for the guardian of the
empire, and continued on from one
dynasty to another, whatever family was
deputed to hold the throne,.and unlimited
dignity and powers were ascribed to him
while the monarch holding the seat would
include jn his devotions and sacrifices all
his predecessors whose spiritual favor he
desired, The idea therefore involves
many monarchs who have been deified,
and as the guardians of the throne they
once occupied, they haye been and are
still all supplicated for their spiritual aid
by its actual incumbent down to this day,

Books of Odes and Records, they need

true that the radical idea of We is a

LIST OF THE FAMILY
nf °
SURNAMES OF THE ZHINESE,
BOTH SINGLE AND DOUBLE,
THe following list has been collected from the
common school-book known as the Fy 3 RE or
Family Surnames, and from K‘ang-hi’s Dictionary ;
those contained in the former, numbering 408 ¥f
KE or single surnames, and 30 #f RE or ME #E
double surnames, are distinguished by being printed
in italics. Probably four-fifths of the people
| are called by these surnames, the rest being seldom
used or extinct. Native authors have carefully
investigated their origin, and traced them back, in
some cases more than three thousand years, to the
time when they are first mentioned. A few tens
of those contained in this list are characters not
found in this pram: their use pratis almost

confined to that of a proper name; a few others,
like Feu A or Hang FF, take a different sound when
used as surnames. All are arranged alphabetically
on the same plan as the Dictionary. When men-
tioning their surnames, the Chinese have a custom
of dissecting the parts, so as the better to define it
when there is any doubt ; = Fy YG two-horse Fung ;

the sing and ming should be carefully distinguished |
as two names, as noted on page 810, and not
printed as one word, as is often done to their utter
confusion. ‘The Manchus were required by the
Emperor K‘anghi to use only their ming in writing
their names in Chinese, so that the sing is known
only among themselves, like a kind of clan sign;
such names, therefore, as Yuen-yuen or O-kehetun-pu
are properly written in one word, as much as Ben-
jumin or Christopher, though the syllables may be
Tn writing Chinese proper names in Roman letters,
separated for convenience of pronunciation.

ERRATA AND CORRECTIONS.
Since the issue of the first edition of this book in 1874, its merits have been fairly discussed, its
deficiencies pointed ont, and its errors set forth by several friendly critics and scholars. ‘Their
suggestions will by useful to those who may, by and by, undertake a similar work. From their
remarks the following list has been mostly selected, as containing the errors most desirable to be
corrected. As their notices are sgattered here and there, their intentions in making them will bé
promoted by bringing them together. In respect to the explanation of the construction of char-
acters, a reference may be made to page xlviii. of the Introduction, where the object is stated; some _
mistakes were made in discriminating the component parts, but the main design was to aid begin-
ners to remember the leading portions of characters, rather than to give all their etymologies. In
addition to the dialects given in the Index, Miss A. M. Fieupe, of the American Baptist Mission at
Swatow, has published a complete list of the sounds of all the characters in that dialect, including
many variants ; and Mr. Jauxs Acueson, of the Imperial Customs, has issued another list giving
the Peking wicnde according to Sir T. F. Wapz’s Progressive Course. All sinologues will be,
thankful for these lists. A full collection of the vocables in the best defined and leading dialects |}
in the empire will furnish accurate materials for comparisons and deductions, which may enable |}
some philologist, like Gram or Wurryey, to.ascertain the genesis of Chinese pronunciation, and tha
laws which govern its perplexing changes.
