Features: Huang Kan believed that the Guangyun is an essential classic in the study of phonology, through which one can examine the evolution of ancient and modern sounds. Huang Kan meticulously annotated and corrected the Guangyun, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of words of annotations. Later, his nephew Huang Zhuo transcribed these annotations into a book. Now, Huang Kan's son Huang Yanzu has further compiled and revised the work, adding and correcting several errors and omissions in the original text. This book is an indispensable reference for scholars of textual and phonological studies.
