From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Qiyin lüe (Chinese: 七音略; pinyin: Qīyīn luè; Wade-Giles: Chi-yin lüeh; "Seven Sounds Summary") is a Chinese rime table that dates prior to 1161. This reference work survived to the present largely because the Song Dynasty historian Zheng Qiao (鄭樵/郑樵; Cheng Ch'iao; 1104-1162) included it in his 1161 encyclopedia Tongzhi (通志; T'ung chih; "General Treatises").
The Qiyinlüe has a close affinity with the Yunjing. Both have tables combining rows for a particular final rime, columns for various initials, and up to four tones (see the link below for a sample). A detailed description of this native Chinese phonological system can be found at rime tables.
The Chinese linguist Luo Changpei wrote a definitive study (1935) of the Qiyinlüe.
