Features: This is a relatively complete work on the study of Yang Xiong's Fangyan. The author approaches the research from the perspective of dialect geography, examining various place names and the parallel use of dialectal place names mentioned in Fangyan. By combining historical, cultural, and other relevant materials, the author conducts a regionalization of Chinese dialects during the Han Dynasty, classifies sub-dialects under each dialect, and traces the origins of various dialects.
