It is a revised and expanded edition of earlier rhyming dictionaries, including Qieyun 切韻 (Cut Rhymes) and Tangyun 唐韻 (Rhymes from the Tang dynasty) published during the Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-907) periods. As only fragments of the earlier works have survived, Guangyun becomes the oldest complete copy of Chinese rhyming dictionary and is essential to the study of Chinese phonology. Donated by Dr. Peter Marie Suski. Preface date: 1704 | 康熙四十三年.plain2020-12-09T11:21:03-08:00Link to the catalog record in the USC LibrariesTang Li94607ee88639079982d0344d02ff8ecdf7b6dc46
