The literary dialect of Tao Qian: Rhymes and finals
陶潜的文言地方性：韵律及韵母
Robert A. Juhl 朱乐本
Abstract 摘要
This paper presents an exhaustive analysis of the rhyming employed by the late Jin poet Tao Qian (b. 365). A summary of his rhymes and finals and a reconstruction conforming to this is included. The phonological evolution of two rhymes is traced from the Jin into the (Liu) Song and compared with the rhyming of Yan Yanzhi (b. 384). The question of whether Tao Qian’s imitation of the ancients included the use of archaic rhymes is answered negatively, and a few cases in which rhyming helps choose between variant characters are discussed.
