About

This page contains a lightweight lookup tool for Early Middle Chinese (Qièyùn system) character pronunciations. The emc reflects the reconstruction of Early Middle Chinese sketched in Appendix B of Wang and Gong (to appear); an introduction to the particular variant provided here will be added soon.

The main CSV and this web app are supplementary materials to Reconstructing pharyngealized vowels for Qieyun Division II in Middle Chinese by Tianheng Wang and Xun Gong (to appear in Diachronica). https://doi.org/10.1075/dia.25018.wan

Source files, generated CSVs, attribution for the underlying rhyme-book data and computational tools, and further notes are available in the repository: https://github.com/semakosa/middle-chinese.

For a more powerful character lookup interface, including other unt-type transcription systems, see the Tshet-uinh Autoderiver.
