Description
Early Middle Chinese is the historical form of the Chinese language spoken during the Sui, Tang, and early Song dynasties (roughly 6th to 10th centuries CE). It is a critical stage in the evolution of Chinese phonology and is the basis for the reconstruction of Middle Chinese pronunciations used in classical poetry and philology. Understanding Early Middle Chinese is essential for scholars studying ancient Chinese texts, rhymes, and phonetic patterns.
