Weldon South Coblin is a linguist and sinologist. He was a student of Li Fang Kuei . Early in his career he made many important contributions to Tibetan and Tibeto Burman linguistics, but since the mid 1990s has worked primarily on alphabetic representations of Chinese. Starting around that time along with Jerry Norman he promoted a new direction in Chinese historical phonology making less use of the Qieyun and other Rime dictionary rhyme books , and more use of the traditional comparative method.

The nihongo Ruiju my gish Classified dictionary of pronunciations and meanings, annotated , alternatively misread as Ruij my gish , is a Japanese dictionary from the late Heian Period . The title, sometimes abbreviated as My gish , combines the ruiju classified dictionary from the Wamy Ruijush and the my gi pronunciation and meaning definition from the Tenrei Bansh My gi . Additional Buddhist titles, like Sanb ruiju my gish , use the word sanb Three Jewels because the text was divided into butsu Buddha , h Dharma , and s Sangha sections. The origins of the Ruiju my gish are uncertain. Bailey 1960 6 concludes it was compiled early in the twelfth century, presumably by a priest. Okimori 1996 269 believes the received edition dates from the late 12th century, but the original version was compiled around 1081 1100 CE. There are various received texts of the Ruiju my gish and several indexes. Like other early Japanese dictionaries, the Ruiju my gish borrowed heavily from Chinese dictionaries , in particular the ca. 543 CE Yupian and the 601 CE Qieyun . For collation of character entries, the Chinese Yupian has a system of 542 logographic Radical Chinese character radicals . The Ruiju my gish cuts them down into 120 radicals bu Wikt , even simpler than the ca. 900 CE Japanese Shinsen Jiky system of 160. The Ruiju my gish lists over 32,000 characters and compounds. The entries give both on yomi Sino Japanese borrowings and kun yomi native Japanese readings for kanji , using Chinese fanqie spellings from the Qieyun , Man y gana , and katakana . Meanings are often illustrated by quotations from over 130 Chinese classic texts and classical Japanese literature . These quotes have two types of Kanbun Chinese writing annotations, sh ten tone marks for Chinese tones and Japanese accents, and occasional kunten reading marks for Japanese pronunciations. Many passages contain no Japanese readings at all, says Bailey 1960 6 , but the ... more details

Collated by tone name tone and syllable rime rime , the dictionary serves the composition of poetry. Like the Kangxi dictionary , the Peiwen Yunfu was compiled under the patronage of the Kangxi Emperor , whose imperial library was named Peiwen esteem admire writing phrases literature . He believed that previous Chinese dictionaries of multiple character phrases, including the Yuan Dynasty Yunfu qunyu and the Ming Dynasty Wuche yunrui , were incomplete and sometimes erroneous. Over twenty editors, including Zhang Yushu , 1642 1711 and Chen Tingjing , 1638 1712 , began the compilation in 1704 and finished in 1711. In 1716, the emperor ordered the creation of a supplement, the Yunfu shiyi , which was completed in 1720. The Peiwen yunfu is a large dictionary 212 volumes fascicles of two , three , and four character idioms . It contains roughly 560,000 items under 10,257 entries arranged by 106 rhymes. Classical allusions and phrases are classified under the rhyme of their last character, with numerous quotations given to illustrate usage. Although the Peiwen yunfu , which James Legge calls the Kangxi Thesaurus http www.fullbooks.com THE CHINESE CLASSICS PROLEGOMENA Unicode.html , is less famous than the Kangxi dictionary , it can be helpful in tracing literary usages.

The Heian Period Buddhist monk Sh j completed the Shinsen jiky during the Sh tai era 898 901 CE . The preface explains that his motivation for compiling a Japanese dictionary was the inconvenience of looking up Chinese characters in the Tang Dynasty dictionary by Xuan Ying , the Yiqie jing yinyi Pronunciation and Meaning in the Tripitaka . The preface credits two other Chinese dictionaries the ca. 543 CE Yupian , which enters 12,158 characters under a system of 542 Radical Chinese character radicals b sh u Wikt , and the 601 CE Qieyun rime dictionary , which enters 16,917 characters categorized by tone linguistics tones and syllable rime s. Don C. Bailey says blockquote In general, the Shinsen jiky resembles the Yupian , but Sh j specifically states in the preface that he acquired a copy of this work only in 892 after he had completed his first draft, and that he thereafter used it as supplementary material.
