before the introduction of Buddhism, scholars in ancient China, while noting that the dual-, two or more characters with the same vowel formation, language, literary creation using rhyme to, even using PI, read, phonetic methods such as direct sound to Chinese characters, but due to interference from this single syllable of ideographic characters of Chinese characters, for voice or a lack of scientific understanding and effective means of research. However, from ancient India’s Buddhist culture, changed the situation. Specifically, Buddhist cultural influence important for study of Chinese phonology mainly has following several aspects.
: firstly, fanqie. Fanqie was ancient further PI read conditions, if, after the direct sound and a furigana method. It uses two characters to spell another pronunciation of the Chinese characters. Ancient straight writing, on reverse swirl of the two words, words under the words take on the consonant, vowel and tone and flatten them both intake could have made the cut the pronunciation of a Word. On the causes of fanqie, from ancient times to the present, scholars have put forward many different point of view, these views can be summed up as the characteristics and influence of Buddhism culture of Chinese syllable itself in terms of, if they are taken together, may be more in line with the objective fact of the answer. On one hand, if you ignore the voice, Chinese generally can be divided into consonant and vowel syllable structure of two parts, and there are a large number of Chinese syllable kissin ‘ cousin relationships, this is the internal cause of fanqie. On the, as Buddhist East to, Chinese contact has Sanskrit and consonants and vowels two-phase flattened into a word of Ruby method, in Van Gogh Han words of transliteration process in the, Sanskrit of voice principle and Ruby method inspired people to Sanskrit for comparison system, anti-views Chinese single syllable text of basic structure, realized that Chinese characters pronunciation also can analysis for rhyme two part, so, from Chinese inherent of dual-two or more characters with the same vowel formation phenomenon in the found has can with two a Chinese characters to spell a word of pronunciation of zhuyin method, this and produced has fanqie, This is the external cause of fanqie. Fanqie, marking the structure of ancient Chinese scholars on Chinese speech recognition and speech analysis there has been a qualitative leap in China is of great significance in the history of Linguistics.
and secondly, discovery of four tones. Discovery of Chinese four tones, and Buddhist culture have a very close relationship, this, Chen yinke, Mr Yu Min, who had very brilliant expositions. Although Sanskrit is a silent language control, but when there are three different musical accents, in between reading the modulated and changes caused a special religious atmosphere, ancient India declared on the basis of three. Buddhism entered China, when Buddhists in reading the classics, Sanskrit for three readings with the input of the sound. Scholars in China are Buddhists examination intended tone inspired by reading Buddhist scriptures in Sanskrit, aware of Chinese speech there are similar to the three different kinds of high and low tones, but is different, tone and bieyi of the Chinese characters, this three tone that is later called the flat, top, three times. The entering tone, because there are three endings, with the flat, top, on the third difference is that the sound quality of different, but the pronunciation because it is short, on the tone can be in a category of, this, top, three side-by-side and four tones. Thus, at a time when the Southern dynasties Qi and Liang dynasties, scholars explicitly put forward the Chinese four tones and the flat, top, to, in their own names. “Four tones” found that marks the Chinese scholars have been able to properly distinguish between the pronunciation of Chinese characters structure for transfer sound, rhyme, the three parts, phonology studies lay the foundation of a scientific theory.
third,-letter creation. Scholars in ancient China the consonant represents a word called “letters”, created thanks to the Buddhist culture of the letter. First, the letter in which the help of fanqie spelling “inductive helped New Zealand”. After fanqie invention, is the analysis of syllable rhyme two, and based on the principle of dual-, summarized on the same type of fanqie, and to a number of characters as their representative, call it “summed up new words” strengthened consonant when used in fanqie pronunciation. It is very close to nature and a letter, subsequently and consonant . letters have a one-to-one relationship between fixed prototype. Second, the letter was than on the results of the Sanskrit and Tibetan letters in Chinese. Letters generally considered first of all keep the temperature created by the monk Tang Mo, found in the Dunhuang grottoes keep Wen Yun studying Uigurische āgama-Fragmente 30 letters are listed so far on the true meaning of the earliest Chinese letters. According to ancient scholars of research, keep temperature of 30 letters is reference Tibetan 30 letters and large as Nirvana tray by · text products under in the by summarized of Sanskrit “adjoins the sound 25 letters” and founded of, and Tibetan letters Although Yu songtsan Gambo Office period by Tibetan “Word Saint” figure along three k General created, in time Shang than Chinese letters slightly early, but it also is modelled Sanskrit letters developed of. Furthermore, the “letters” that name from the Hua-yen Sutra, is from the Sanskrit translation of. Scholars in the Song dynasty to keep the temperature of 30 letters based on the based on speech at practical, an increase of six letters and replace the part name, became has wide application in the study of phonology, to the far-reaching effects of 36 letters.
IV, rise of yun. Rhyme is a rhyme, such as short, it could use a more intuitive way to reflect a period of phonetic system. According to slang, ancient rhyme is rhyme of leveling the table, its basic principle is a lateral consonant, vertical vowel and tone, in which similar Melody with a different “such as” to distinguish between, and tones in the intersection lattice filled appropriate words, represents a valid syllable. Rise of Yun, also closely related to the spread of Buddhism. Ancient India learning Sanskrit pronunciation list has a younger age group, which in China along with Buddhism, in the Chinese Buddhist monks known as “check mark”, the format is to stand in line Vocalic, one by one consonant with the spell. Rhythm figure is modeled on “check mark”, which was initially invented by Buddhists. In addition, from the rhyme can also be seen in terms of its relationship with Buddhism. For example, the earliest rhyme the rhyme, such as mirrors and the seven-tone has 43, although “go” means academics there are different views, but everyone recognizes that “turn” the term from Buddhism. Rampage column letter of the rhyme, in the letter after the creation. In the keep Wen Yun studying Uigurische āgama-Fragmente of light such as the four cases, and with future generations, such as the rhyme rime dictionary, is a rhyme, such as prototype. After the song, Yun appears, an important branch of Chinese phonology–such as rhyme.
, and summing up the above, under the influence of Buddhist culture Institute of Chinese phonology is pioneering the field of study, our research study on the enrichment of the content and terms of the introduction, but more important still is to study methods of change, renewal of the research idea and improvement of research. Such as, on pronunciation of mark by with a Word development to with two a Word, on pronunciation of analysis from fuzzy to clear, and by II min to three min, under pronunciation parts and pronunciation method on letters for classification,, rhyme figure in the by contains of phoneme learn thought, and so on, these method and concept for promote ancient phonology research and language research, has long are play with very important of role.
in addition to phonology, ancient exegesis and the different degrees of development of the text under the influence of Buddhist culture. In Exegetical learn area, a is expanded has ancient of note range, by Buddhist incoming yiqian of to comments Confucian classics mainly, development for Wei Jin and Northern and Southern dynasties Shi on Buddhist, and Taoist, other classic are has many comments; II is was Buddhist classic “told soothing” of effect, produced has “meaning soothing” this new of Exegetical integrated; three is produced has a comments Sutra tone meaning of high quality of Exegetical learn works, as Xuan should all by tone meaning under, and Hui Linda all by tone meaning under,. In the field of Philology, the main influence is reflected in the text, not only make private copies of Buddhist scriptures important study of characters in popular form the text object, also of Liao, compiled by monks of the famous suti dictionaries such as the Dragon shrine.
