Abstract 摘要
This study aims to demonstrate the existence of pre-Qieyun phenomena in the Old Sino- Korean Corpus. According to the toponyms in the Samkwuk saki (1145), the alveolar stop (Duan) initials of Old Chinese remained unchanged in Old Sino-Korean regardless of the degree to which they changed to palatalized or retroflexed stops in the Middle Chinese period. The palatalized alveolar stop (Zhang) initials of Old Chinese were also realized as unpalatalized alveolar stops in Old Sino-Korean, while they changed to affricates in Middle Chinese. Based upon these findings, this article argues that the Chinese characters were transmitted to ancient Korea at latest by the fourth to fifth centuries A.D.

古代韩国汉字音是不分上古音端系与章（照三）系的，韩国现存最早历史书《三国史记》〈地理志〉的地名能证实这一点。古代韩国端系汉字音不仅反映古无舌上音（上古端系字未分化成中古的知端两系，都是舌头音，即舌尖塞音），而且章系字，据百济汉字音与新罗读音，也不像王力先生说的颚化舌头音（即中古变为颚化塞擦音），而是与端系一样，都为舌头音。笔者认为这是有关上古音的重要佐证信息。根据韩国古代地名里的这种《切音》以前音韵现象，本文还主张汉字最迟中国中古音时期以前已借用于古代韩语中。
