Features: This book was first published in 1983. It was used as a textbook for undergraduate students, dictionary training courses, graduate students, and some tutored graduate students in the Chinese Language Department of Renmin University of China. It has also been adopted by Chinese Language Departments in other institutions. This revised edition not only elaborates on the basic concepts of Chinese phonology, provides detailed explanations of Guangyun, and compares the phonetic systems and pronunciation rules of Guangyun and modern standard Chinese, but also adds a new section titled "An Introduction to Ancient Phonology," making it a more complete and suitable textbook for teaching purposes.
