Features: The book A Study on the Phonology of Liu Changzong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty conducts a relatively comprehensive research on the phonological system of Liu Changzong, an important phonological annotator in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This topic is highly meaningful, as it helps fill gaps in the study of the history of Chinese phonology. Another feature of this book is that it compares the analyzed phonology of Liu with that of pre-Qin, Eastern Han rhyme, and five other phonological systems from the Six Dynasties period—Lü Chen, Xu Miao, Pei Qian, Zou Shengdan, and Lu Deming. It analyzes the similarities and differences, exploring the distinctions and connections between Liu's phonology and these systems. In other words, it positions Liu's phonology within the intersecting temporal and spatial coordinates of historical and diachronic phonology, delving into a broader and deeper level of analysis of Liu Changzong's phonology. This not only strengthens the research on Liu's phonology but also provides solid evidence for the study of Eastern Jin phonology, the phonology of the Six Dynasties, and even ancient Chinese phonology, thereby further enhancing the academic value of the entire book.
