Phonetic Design of Zhou Dynasty’s Official Language Illustrated by Jean C. C. Chang 中原正音音位組織圖解（張志清 著）

Scholars have been using Guang Yun, which contains dialects, to infer the pronunciation of the ancient Chinese language 3000 years ago. This method cannot succeed, because Guang Yun is a mixture of Zhou’s official language and dialects, which just cannot accurately infer the pronunciation of either the official language or any dialect. To infer the so-called standard pronunciation of the Zhou Dynasty, the author has conducted a 20-year study, the results of which are reported in this book, Phonetic Design of Zhou Dynasty’s Official Language Illustrated. By deleting the single vowels that had become substandard, the author finds that when the phonemes are in the correct positions, the meanings of the characters are revealed once they are checked against the ancient books. The author’s discovery confirms the existence of Zhou Dynasty’s phonetic design of its official language.

當今學者用包夾方言的《廣韻》倒推古音。但, 用聲韻找古音的實際推法無法成立。因《廣韻》是周語及方言混合物,用混合物無法確認個別語言的語音。本書作者歷經二十年琢磨,依中原正音思考,刪IPA母音結合音内的非正位音,直接找音位還原方法。研究結果以《中原正音音位組織圖解》一書出版,作者以四組音兩組符號展示所見。研究結果發現,中原正音確實存在人工智慧。
