THj*-H&ictionary contains only a portion of all the characters in the
Chinese language, but they are those in general use, and such as
occur most frequently in books and ordinary writings. The total
number of characters in Kanghl's Dictionary is set down at about
44,400, of which nearly 15,000 are either duplicate or obsolete forms,
while of the remaining 30,000, fully two-thirds are names of places
or persons, or old, unusual words seldom met with in the course of
one's reading. All these characters are included in the Dictiona-

ries of both Drs. Morrison and Medhurst, but in those of De Guignes,
Gonâlves, and Gallery, a selection of the common characters has
been made, to the number of from 11,000 to 13,000 in each wock.
That this last number includes all that are really necessary is partly
proved by the usefulness of the work of Gonâlves, and especially
that of De Guignes, which has been in the hands of students for
more than two score years, and by Klaproth's Appendix to it, in
which, after years of study, he added only a few hundred characters
to the main work. It is evident, therefore, that when we have
dictionaries like those of Morrison and Medhurst, containing the
meanings and forms of all the characters, there is less need of
repeating the same in other works; as the unusual ones are so rarely
met with, and the student will always have Kanghi's Dictionary at
hand if no other. There is, indeed, always a chance of meeting

with an unusual character, as the name of a person or place, in
any book one may take up ; and for these the fullest dictionary is
the most satisfactory.

dialect, though not all that is wanted. These works are five, viz. —

The first two are out of print ; the next two contain also some
directions and exercises for learning the general language, the sounds
alone being in this dialect.
Chinese lexicographers have done much to elucidate their own
language, and we may regard the common dictionary of Kanghi,

called Kanghi Tsz' Tien J^ (5E -qp ^L, which has been in use
throughout the empire for nearly 150 years, as one of the best
dictionaries ever published by Asiatics. The list of works of this
class given by Gallery proves the vast labor spent in this direction
by Chinese scholars through a long series of generations. Yet, in
respect to satisfying the requirements of a foreign student, no
Chinese dictionary will be found sufficient. The uses of a cha-
racter as a verb, a noun, a particle, or an adjective, are usually not
given at all, chiefly because Chinese grammarians do not habitually
make these distinctions ; and the definitions are made by quoting
other words as synonyms, and not by explaining the usages of the
one under examination. For instance, take the word ^lui nj^, an im-
portant one in Chinese literature. Kanghi says it means, " To fol-
low (or tread in); whatever men do in serving the gods to obtain
happiness; to put in form, to obtain (or show) the form of an act. A

surname." None of the metaphorical and derivative senses are
given, which, as will be seen by reference to the character, hav.T
now become important and common. These generally have yet to
be carefully collected from good authors, and their application
illustrated.
The difficulties in making a complete Anglo-Chinese lexicon result

from three causes. Firat, the vast extent of the literature, running
PREFACE. vn
through many ages, naturally involve changes in the use of words

by so many authors of different degrees of intellect, genius, and
learning. The same word has been used by these authors to
denote different shades of meaning, and it is a great labor to trace
out these meanings. Second, it is not easy to find exact equivalents
for Chinese words in European languages. Even in concrete things,
as ^^, ^^, 1^, f|ft, the differences are numerous, and require
explanation before calling them a book, a pencil, a shoe, or a ship;

how much more unlike must they be when mental, religious, or
poetical terms are to be explained by words from languages so dis-
similar as English and Chinese. The Chinese, like other nations,
necessarily describe their mental and abstract thoughts by words
derived from sensible objects, and the scope and application of such
words are familiar to them, but not so to the foreigner, whose mind
has been trained differently. What adds to this difficulty is the
vague and erroneous ideas the Chinese have respecting many things,
which embarrasses one who tries to define them by the more precise
words of his own language. Third, the years of study which are
required in a wearisome climate before a foreigner is even partially
fitted for making a dictionary, has also proved a serious hindrance
to the preparation of a complete lexicon in the Chinese language.
No one has yet sat down to the work unfettered by other engage-
ments, and willing to spend his life in making a full dictionary of
this language.
This volume will assist in learning to speak the Canton dialect,
and as the meanings of the characters are the same, any one can
use it in translating. It is as suitable for learning the Court dialect
as Morrison's is for learning the Canton or Ti^chiu dialects ;
and
those who are unable to procure the larger works, may find aid in
it to enable them to read Chinese books. It has been prepared
with care, by consulting previous works and a large collection of
phrases written out by competent natives, and the meanings syn-
thetically made up from the examples in which they occur. The
space did not permit a large portion of these phrases to be explained
as fully as would have been desirable to understand their application.
Technical uês of words in law, medicine, astrology, poetry, and
su ch science as the Chinese possess, have not been very extensively

collected hitherto; this work probably contains a few more thart

any other, and perhaps expressed a little more definitely. It is no
assistance to a foreigner to know that li^ is the name of a fish, or
tying the name of a bird, or ihang the name of a mountain, though

these words may convey to a Chinese as definite an idea as the words
carp, eagle, or Alps, do to an Englishman. Yet in most cases
only an approximation can yet be made to defining hundreds of such
words.
With these remarks this Dictionary is offered to students in Chi-
nese, and especially to those who are engaged in the excellent work
of enlightening this people in true religion and science. It is a
freewill offering to the cause of missions in China. The sheets were
necessarily struck off as fast as they were written, and a printing-
office was carried on at the same time to obtain the funds to print
them with. The proof sheets were kindly looked over by Rev. John
B. French, to whose careful examination of the tones and sound;*
the work owes much of its accuracy. A few errors in the tones,
aspirates, and sounds of the words have unavoidably crept in, some
of which have already been noticed, but it has not been thought
necessary to make out a full list of errata.

INTRODUCTION.
I. The Canton DrALECx.
The dialect of the Chinese language spoken most accurately in
the citv of Canton, and hence usually called the Canton Dialect, is
understood throughout the districts in the western half of the pro-

vince of Kwangtung, with only unimportant exceptions. Though the
variations from the speech of the citizens of Canton itself and from
each other, heard in these districts are numerous, still the general
characteristics of the dialect in its idiom and pronunciation, are
preserved, and the people find little difficulty in talking with each
other. The people from the district of Sinhwui ^Xc '^ lying south-
westerly from Canton, exhibit the most remarkable peculiarities
in pronunciation, and it is a puzzle to the scholars in the city
how they should have originated. The Canton dialect differs so
much from that spoken at the extreme east of the province, in
the~ department of Chauchau ^fl am and in most parts of the ad-

joining prefectures of Kiaying chau and Hwuichau fu, that their
inhabitants are not intelligible to citizens of the capital. This
dialect, usually called the Tiechiu from the local sound of jgH wj
and the Canton, constitute the speech of probably six sevenths of
the nineteen millions reckoned as the population of the whole pro-
vince; still this estimate is based on no very reliable data, owing to
the difficulty of actual examination. The patois known as the kdk-
kd approaches very near to the Canton, and people from Kwangsf
are easily understood in this city. Both the Canton and Tiechiu
dialects differ so materially in idiom and pronunciation from the
general language of China, called the honn kim ^ =£" court or
mandarin dialect, that those speaking only the latter do not under-
stand them ; and when they come to Canton as officers, are always
obliged to employ interpreters to explain to them the depositions
made in their courts by the couimumi people.

X INTRODUCTION.
The variations between the court and Canton dialects, in the

pronunciation of the great body of characters, are so regular as to
enable one to guess with a tolerable degree of certainty, what their
sounds are in the other, the more so because the variations are
chiefly in the finals, and not so numerous in the initials, as is the
case in some of the Fuhkien patois. The unusual changes nearly
all occur in characters having the fourth tone. The most common
changes in the finals are here given :
Court Canton Conrt Canton.

iiing into 6ung as sidng^ nidng into s6ung, n6ung.
in and un into an and un; as kin, chin, into kan, chun.

ik into i/c, a< or Ip; as kik, pih, chih into kik, pat, chip.
ieh into {< or iji as sich, lick into sit. lip.
ioh or oh into 0^ as kioh,hiok, Ioh into kok, hok, tok.
The frequency of the abrupt consonontal terminations k,p, and t,
in the Canton dialect, immediately strike a northerner from KiSngsu,

who has been used to hear
, all terminations soft and flowing ; but
the people from those provinces are said to learn this dialect sooner
than those from Amoy and Fuhchau, whose nasal sounds and
greater changes in the initials, are more difficult to accord with it.
Unlike what exists in the province of Fuhkien, here there is not so

great a difference between the language as spoken and read, as to
require almost the acquisition of a double medium.
The variations between the Tiechiu and Canton dialects consist
in changes in both initials and finals, each having some sounds
which are unknown, or very uncommon in the other. For instance,
the initials sk or/ are not found in the Ti^chii'i, or the initiaLs 6,
Iw, or mw in the Canton ; the oblique sound of u in turn is one of

most common finals in the former, and one of the rarest in the latter ;
there are no nasal sounds in the Canton, and no words ending with
the finals iang, idle, both of which are common in the Ti^chiw.
These differences are among the nvost noticeable between the two
leading dialects of this province, but the variations as one goes from
Chauchau fu westward to Canton city, are numberless, nearly every
village exhibiting some peculiarities in the sounds of a few words.

INTRODUCTIOV. XI
The standard of pronunciation for the Canton dialect is a small

duodecimo handbook, sometimes issued! separately, but more fre-
quently combined with a letter-writer and forms of invitation, cards ,
funeral eulogies, &-c., so that one may help to sell the other. It is
called Kong-u ch'ik-tuk, Fan-wan ts'ut-iu hdp tsap VJl Vffl f^ )i^
^* p1 ^ -^ •« ^ Letters for Travelers and a Collection of
Important Characters divided by their Tones. The preface of the
work is a mere bookseller's recommendation, and gives no hints upon
the motives or principles which guided the compilers in arranging
the characters. It is as follows :
" Books giving the sounds of characters, and forms for letter-
writers, are among the most common works in bookstores; but the
largest of them are so cumbrous and bulky as to be troublesome to
refer to, while the smaller kinds are too condensed to be satisfactory
for reference. Consequently, neither of them are well suited for
convenient use. Wu Hioh-pii of Yii-shSn, and Wan K'i-shih of
Wu-k'i have, however, jointly arranged a collection of words by
their tones, and an assortment of letters for the use of traders in
their travels,which are both comprehensive and brief, giving the
kernel of the matter. The two works assist each other; and as
they are not too large to carry about with one, they are also full and
easy of reference for as it would be ine.xpedient to require the pur-
;
chaser to get two bulky books at a high price, they are now com-
bined into a single neat '
sleeve gem,' and arranged on the top and
bottom of the page; so that if one is in doubt respecting the mean-
ing of a character, he can readily look it up among the classes of
sounds; and if he does not know the exact sound, it will not be
troublesome to gather it from the reading. Thus one part of the
volume will help the other, like a carriage and a boat when one is
traveling by land and water, both having their appropriate uses and
position. Those who are learned will appreciate the propriety of
these remarks. A prefatory note.
" Summer of 178-2."
This pocket dictionary is usually bound in four thin volumes, and

sold for twenty-five cents; it contains 7327 characters, and only 175
pages, or on the average 4'v to each page, which plainly shows how

meagre are the definitions. In comparison with the local vocabularies

used at Amoy and Fuhchau, it is very imperfect, and proves the
ignorance of the compilers of what was wanted for a local diction-
ary, or leads one to infer that they did not know how to prepare a
good one. There is no table of initials and finals as in those voca-
bularies, nor any list of syllables, by combining which one can get
the proper sound of a character for he who uses it, strangely enough,
;
is supposed to know already the sound of the character he is in

search of. The unwritten sounds or colloquial words used by the
people of Canton are nearly all omitted, which is one of the greatest
defects in it, and renders it far less useful to the foreigner who is
learning the dialect than those just spoken of. One reason, probably,
why so little notice is taken of these colloquial words in the Fan
Wan is them in their writing, as
the disregard the Cantonese pay to
no one would degrade his composition by inserting them. This
rejection has had the result of keeping the greater part of them
unwritten, and the compilers of the Fan Wan, knowing no authoriz-
ed characters by which to express them, nor having any tabular
system of initials and finals in which to insert them so that the
student could find them, have omitted them. In fact, except in these
two ways, a Chinese actually has no possible means to express
a sound, and the latter mode is so clumsy and unsatisfactory that it
would probably be understood by few natives who use the book.
The adoption of proper characters to denote these unwritten
sounds is a troublesome, matter for a native writer, and it is not sur-
prising that he avoids their use. However, they are occasionally
written, but not all on the same principles. Sometimes a well-known
character of the same tone is selected to express the sound and its ;
evidently utter inaptitude in the connection to express any sense is
depended upon to intimate that used for a colloquial word.

it is
This expedient is frequently employed by partly educated persons
in letters, when they do not know, or cannot remember the proper

characters. Another device to indicate colloquial words is to prefix
the character hau p mouth, or yan y^ a man, at the side of some

tone.

of this sort.Sometimes, again, a character which comes nearest in

tone is taken to represent the needed sound, and the knowledge of
the reader is expected to inform him that it is employed in a vulgar
sense. The words atiw ^^ milk ; Jan ^^ a bazaar ; and mdi -ffl^
a lady, are examples of this practice. Again, characters having

nearly the same meaning as the colloquial word, but of an entirely
different sound, are adopted, so that even if the reader does not know
the vulgar sound he will make no mistake as to the sense. Thus,
the words Jiung ijf-lt to roast, used for <.nung, to scorch, to scowl
Jiung !J| a hole, used for this mode of adapta-
Jung; are instances of
tion. Lastly, entirely new characters are made for some of them as ;
lat ffi to detach, pang j^ a knock, which of course have no cur-

rency in other parts of China, as neither their sound or meaning
will be known elsewhere. Besides these, there are a few colloquial
words, a.sîig, kwit,Jik, ap, &,c., for which no characters can be
found, and which cannot therefore be written at all.
The best course to adopt respecting the colloquial words found

been a matter of considerable perplexity in the
in this dialect, has
preparation of this Dictionary. There being so many modes to
express them, it was concluded to follow that plan for each cha-
racter, which seemed to be the best understood among the people.
The student must not however place much dependence on many of
the characters employed to denote these unwritten sounds, for they
are not uniformly represented, and other persons would perhaps
choose different characters. The colloquial meanings of a word
are usually distinguished from the more authorized definitions, so
that no trouble will, it is hoped, be found on this score to those who
use the dictionary in other parts of China, where the colloquial is
entirely different.
The characters are classed in the Fan Wan under thirty-three
finals,whose sounds are represented by standard and viêll known
characters, as given in the annexed Table, all of them in the four
upper tones, except the two last finals. The characters in the second
half have been selected from the body of the book to illustrate the
lower tones, and to aid the scholar in discriminating the two series.
There, are however actually fifty-three fi)ials in the dialect, if we
include the terminations in the fotjrth tone.

XVI INTRODUCTION.
The variations heard in the pronunciation of words under these

thirty-three finals, though rather perplexing, bear only a small pro-
portion to the whole number of words in the language. The most
usual discrepancies heard under each order are here given, but it is
impossible, and would be useless, to exhibit every alteration from

what the Fan Wan represents as the proper sound. On the whole
that manual may be regarded as a fair exhibition of the general pro-
nunciation. Other modes of spelling the same sounds, adopted by
Dr. Morrison, Mr. Devan and Mr. Bonney, in their vocabularies of
this dialect, and by others who haVe tried to write them, are given
in parenthesis under each number.
1. Sin, sit, like seen, seat, peat, mean. Several of the words
commencing with a vowel, as in g, in J^, it 5^, are heard with
a nasal or aspirate, as ngin, hin, ngit. (Seen, leet.)
2. Wai, like buy, nigh. Words under this final occasionally run
into the longer sound of a2 in the 14th order, especially in those
like ktoai and sTiai. (Lei, m,fy.)

3. Ki, \\keme,jlee. A few words beginning with k, p and/", are
frequently heard like the 20th final, as ki 1^ pi "JH. fi ^fe, ki
p* , pronounced k6, pi,fi, or ke; but this is the exception. Others
having no initial, as i
ZZ.1*JPP are often heard ngi. (Tee, she, ki.)
4. Chit, like sue, or the first part of the word choose. Words in
this order beginning with h, I, n, and ts, are often heard sliding into
hui, lui, nui, tsui, like the 22d order, as ^=^, "(2, -tT, ^^, fe ;
those under the other initials are less frequently mispronounced.

(Kuy, sue, nu, loy, u.)
5. Sau, like now, cow, how. Words in this order like au »y^, p]^,
having no initial, often seem to a beginner to lengthen the vowels
into du, like the 18th order, as also do those like chau HJ' hau f^
andjp'aw, ^1j but a little practice will discriminate them. (T'soio,
show, hdio.)
6. Tung, tuk, like the Irishism wroong for icrung, and so nearly
toong, took, that it is doubtful whether this final ought not to be
written tung, tiik ; it must never be sounded like the English words
sung, hung, tongue. There are no variants in this final worth
noticing. (Soong, yak, tbk.)
INTROBUCTION. XV1<
7. Ying, yih, like singi ling, giiicki icing. So many words under
this order change the final into eng and ek, that a separate list has
been made of them Table of Sounds, but the propor-
in the general
tion is small; all the common words are noticed in the body of the
Dictionary. At Macao and thereabouts, a large proportion change
the final into ting and ak of the loth order, as
mang, nang, pang, &c., by which the people from
^ a BR ifm , JSl,
into hang, kang,
Iliiingshan district are recognized at Canton. (Leng, pacng, te-ang,
saung.)
8. Pan, pat, likey«M, son, shun, tun, won, never like man, fan,
hat, cat. Variants in the yap shiiig, passing into the long sound at
of the 25th order, are occasionally heard, but a more frequent change .
is into pin, pit, or pen, pet, which is peculiar to the people of the
districts of Sinhwui and Kauyiu southwest of Canton. (Pun, kdn,
fut, yet, chat.)
9. Cheung, chiuk, like the combined sounds in say 'em ; there
is no English word with this diphthong. The variations in this^
final are rare. (Chaong, cheong, lay-ung, yok, naung, tsay-tik.)
Kong, kok, like long, song, wrong, hawk, baulk; never like
10.
sock, lock. There is no difficulty in recognizing all words under

this final, even when as is occasionally the case, they are heard like
l()ng. (Pawng, kaiok, I6k, w6ng, hoak, tsoang.)

11. Ku, Id, as coo, cuckoo, lo, hoe, fiow. The compilers of the
Fan Wan seem to have been unable to distinguish the characters
under this final into the two terminations of u and 6, and have
combined them apparently because in the court dialect most of
them ended in u. Those beginning with /, m, sh, and s slide from
hi, mv, sv, shv, into Id, md, shd, so, but under other initials there is
no trouble in distinguishing (Lo, low, ku,fod.)

them.
12. Ckiu, like new, few, both vowels being plainly sounded.
This final is now and then heard like iu, as i® û for iti ; ySS nû
for niu ; and also sliding into the 4th as QS hii for hiii. (Kcw, chin,
tfi-ur, tin.)
13. (in, vt, like the u in ruin, June, jute, dilute. The variations
under this final are unimportant, and those are where the vowel is
changed in a few words to i, as 'H^ nen for nun. (Hcuet, shun,

lit, une, sute.)
XVin INTRODUCTION.
14. Kdi, like aye, aisle, never shortened into nigh,Jli/,V\\ie the
2(1 final, though that frequently is prolonged into this. The Chinese
discriminate between the diphthongs ai and di with much accuracy,
and the student should pay particular attention to them at first, or
he will constantly confound them. (Pai, nie, ti, kdi, kye.)
15. Tang, tak, like tongue, sung, hung, muck, luck, never like
hang, bang, jack, sack. There are many words placed under this
final, which from the constant tendency to lengthen the vowel are
heard like the 32d final, as ^^ shdng for shang ^ hang for hang, d|/
pdk for pak, &c.; many of these, variations are noticed in the body
of the work. (Pung, hang, tuk, mak, hek, shdng, ydk.)
16. Sz' , tsz\ like no words in the English language, but much
like a hiss. The people of Canton itself pronounce these two words
very clearly, but in the villages around and south of it, they are
changed into shi, si), szi), schi, tsii, tsi, ch'i, so that in many cases
it is hard to recognize them. (Szc, sz, sse, ss', tse.)
17. Kam, kap, like hum, some, conic, sup, tup, never like ham,
rap, nor came, lame, nape, rape. A few words properly referred to
this final lengthen the vowel into kdm, kdp, like the 24th, and others
also are changed into short e, askem, nem. (Ynm, shup, lam shdp.)
18. Kdu, like how very much prolonged the difference between ;
this, and the 5th final is a. There

merely in the longer sound of the
are no variations in pronunciation worth noticing in this final.
(Pow, kaou, chaow.)
19. 7*04, like boy, noise, loiter. The oi in some of the words
referred to this final, inclines to ui of the 22d, as ^ m\ ^ lui,
nui, tui, for loi, noi, tdi, but a little care will easily discriminate
them; most of the words are uniformly sounded. (Toy, suy.)
20. Kim, kip, like cream, seem, team, sheep, reap. The word.s
under this final are very uniform, and there is no particular cha-
racter worth noticing as a variant. ( Kccm, leep.)
21. Tsun, tsut, like the u in put, nuisance, the sound lying
between the vowel sounds in fun and fool, in the 8th and 27th
orders; the 8th, 21st and 27th finals pan, tsun, kini, are kept very
distinct by the Chinese, and must not be confounded. It is not
easy to distinguish the u in this order from the u in tung, tuk, as
some have endeavored to do, for if the word isuw be slowly prolong-
;
INTROrXTTlOX.
ed into fsung, it will be seen the difference is in the quantity rather
than in the quality of the vowel. (Tsun, soot.)

22. Sui, a combination of u in the preceding order with i ; there is
no similar sound in English. Words under the 4th final commenc-

ing with s, / or n, easily run into this, and some of those placed here,
as tsui, yui, tui, aI.so run into the 28th order. The Chinese, who are
not fettered or guided by any alphabetic sounds, often discriminate
these nearly homophonous words better than we do. (Suy, mooy,
soy, shoo-e.) -^
23. Fo, like law, saw, taic, not lo, no, two ; the o as in long, sawn,
as in the 10th and 30th orders. This final undergoes no changes,
that are worth noticing. (Waw, hd, late, ho.)
24. Kdm, hip, like calm, psalm, not like ham, jamb, rap, map.
The characters under this final are comparatively few, and the
changes in their^ronunciation very slight. (Lakm, kam, tarm, chaap,
hap.)
25. Fan, fat, like Jahn, father, not like fan, fat, man, mat.
In the district of Shunteh, some characters in this order take a
singular change to tn, as r^ hen (like mane), *^ p^n, ga kin (like
canc^, and so of others. (Wan, pann,fat.)
26. Ka, like mflr, pa, a syliabk that can hardly be mispronounced;
there are no variations in the characters found under it. (Ka,faJif
taa.)
27. Kun, kut, like loon, coot, moot, noon, presents no changes in
the sounds of the few characters found under it worth noticing.
(Poon,foet.)
28. Fui is a well defined diphthong, like buoy, broader than sui
in the 22d order, and having only one initial in common with that
the consonant has much influence on the quantity of the vowel.
(Tsoy, luji, kooy, nui, oo-e.)
29. Ch^, like may, lay, they, yea; it has few aberrations, and
most of those are mispronunciations from the 3d order, under a few
initials. (Yay,ya,se-ay.)
30. Kon, hot, like lawn, brawn, fought, sought ; there are very
few characters under this final, and in the mouths of many persons
some of them, as on and ngon are heard like ong and ngong. (Iloan,
kon, 6n, kot )
XX IJ^TRODUCTIOV..
31. Kdm, kdp, Vike home, comb, hope, not like some, come, sup, or
torn, hop ; there is a peculiar ora rotunda observable in the pro-
nunciation of the few words referred to this order. (Kum, kup, kdm,
h6m, hap, hop, h6p.)
32. P'dng, pdk, sounded with a broad a, and not like ban/^, hang,
crack. Many words under the 15th final are so uniformly sounded
Mke this that they should properly have been placed under it ; there
is a constant tendency of the short vowels to lengthen into the broader
ones. (Hiik, lang, chak.)
33. 'Ng, 'M, are sounds heard in all languages, in rapid conver-
sation, but such as are seldom written ; hng and hm is perhaps a
better form of writing them than that here adopted. (Im, 'm, ing,
LIST OF THE INITIALS.
No list of initials is given in the Fan Wan ; there are twenty-

three in which are here represented by the following characters.

The first one is a miite, and used when the final only is pronounced,
having no consonant before it.

The diversities in the initials are so much fewer than those in the
finals, that they are soon described, though for their nuniber they
give more trouble, perhaps, than the others.

a nasal n^ or to have the vowel altered.

persons are absbJutely unable to detect the diff(prence, more frequent-
ly calling the words u^der ts as ch, than contrariwise. All cha-
—
racters with the sounds tsz' and ts'z' are liable to be heard chi and
chî, with a stronger breathing than those properly read chi and cA'f.
4. The people along the coast and south of Canton often alter the
initial f into h or w in some words, and retain it in others ; it
changes sooner before a or o, than before i or u.

10, 1 1 . The two initials / and m are frequently so interchanged in,
the mouths of some people, that one ismuch puzzled to distinguish,

them, and even n is altered too: as lam pa for nam; man jm for
Idn ; Id -oj/ for mo ; &-c. The number of such words is not very,
great, and while the few who speak thus cannot discriminate the
inital consonant before some vowels, they never interchange thenij
before others.

of Hiingshdn, Sinning and Siiing.'in, this obtains to a very great

extent; skui ^jC, shu -gg^, shiik ^^, shdng shing -^ ^^>&c. &c.,

dialects. The initial sh is a complete shibboleth to the people of.
those districts. West of Canton, many are found who change sz'
into sii, and a large part of the words beginning with s are changed
into sh, just the opposite of the usage at Macao.
These five classes of changes are the most frequent, and with,
those in the finals may perhaps discourage the beginner whether he
be able to learn a speech which varies so much in its pronunciation..
The proportion the variants bear to the whole body of characters
is not so great, however, as he might conclude, and when once as-
certained it will not be difficult to follow them ; besides which, no
individual will ever be found who has them all.
SYSTEM OF ORTHOGRAPHY USED IN THIS DICTIONARY.
The system of writing the sounds of the Chinese characters

adopted in this Dictionary is nearly like that proposed by Sir W.
Jones, and already used to some extent in China. It is exhibited
in the following table :
1. a as in quota, variable ; fan, lam, tang, kat.

2. a a% \n father ; ldn,kdm,chdng, pat, kdp,hd.
3. € as in men, dead, said ; che.ng, heng.
4. ^ as in they, neigh, say ; che, m^, sh^, tsûng.

6. i ds ni machine, feel, ere ; hi, sin, kim.
7. o as in long, lord, law ; ko, sung, Icon, kok, hot.
o. '6 as in so, hoe, crow ; nd, kdm, hbp.
9. u as in hull, pressing into rule; tsun, sut, tung, yuk.
10. u as in school, fool, rule ; ku,fvn, put.
11. ii as in French jewnc, I'unc. ; sut, iit.
12. it as in turn ; hu, tit.
1'3, ai as in while, high, fly, hushai kai, sai.

14. di as in aisU, aye; fax, mai.
15. au as iii now, round, plough ; mau, sau.
16. du as in howl, pronounced longer chdu, kdu. :
17. ^M as in Capernaum, say 'em ; heung, leuk.

18. iu as '\n pew, chew; liu, siti.
19. oi as in boy, toil; oi, tsoi.
20. Iff nearly as in Lo7tis, peculiar; sui, lui.
21. /'J as in cooing, chewing; mui,fui.

22. sz' This is an imperfect vowel sound, unknown in European
languages ; if in pronouncing the word dizzy, the two letters
di be changed to s, this sound will be made.
2!3. 'm or hm, is spoken with a closed month, like a voluntary half
cough.
24. 'ng is a nasal sound, made by stopping the nose when it is
spoken.
The consonants need no illustration, as they are uniformly
pronounced as in English :
ch, as in church ; ng, as in sing ;
f, a.& in Jife; p, as in pa/> ;
A, as in hai'c ; s, as in sea, yes ;
k, as in kiiig sh, as in shut, chaise ;
kw, as in quality ; t, as in title ;
I, as iu lame ; ts, as in ratsbane, ivits ;
m, as in maim w, as in wing ;
n, as in nun ; y, as in yard ;
The above comprise all the vowels, diphthongs and consonants,

found in the Canton dialect. In addition the Court Dialect con-
tains a few more, and as the pronunciation of each character in the
—
INTRODUCTION. XXlll
Fan Wan is given in that dialect under it, they are here added.
For the sounds given to the characters in this dialect, the diction-
aries ofDeGuignes, Morrison, Goftcalves, and Medhurst, nearly
agree throughout ; and though what is termed the kioan hwa differs
as much as any of the local dialects, when it is heard in different

parts of the country, still there is a general resemblance. This
system more strictly that whicfe is knowrj among the Chinese as
is
the Nan hwa or Southern dialect, in contrad'istinction to the Peh

hied or Northern dialect^ the cities of Nanking and Peking respec-
tively being regarded as the standard's of autliority 6f the two. The
additional finals and initials found in the Gourt Dialect alone are the
following:
ei, nearly as in weigh, but vefy open, both vowels being heard.
id, as in i/ard, piastre, both vowels plainly heard.
idh, like the last, but ending abruptly.
idi, a triphthong, each letter of Vvhich is heard.
idtig, like idh, except the' final ng ; bbth are pronounced broad.
idu, it, ieh, ien, ih, in, ioh, iuek, iucn, iuh, iun, and iung, are all
to be sounded distinctly, the i to be plairtly eriunciated before the

other letters.
oh, is an abrupt ending, like knock, though not so decided.
ueh, uen, and uh, are all to be sounded distinctly. All words end-
ing in h, are in the jih shing, biit it is generally so soft as to lead
many to say that this tone does not occur in the court dialect.
By combining all the fifty-three finals with all the twenty-three

initials, there would be 1229 sounds in the dialect which could be
represented by Roman letters; there are however only 707 different
syllables given in this Dictionary, many possible combinations, as
kwbm, tnng, hH,put, kwiung, fdm, foi. Ion, shot, sun, wiii, &-c.,
not occuring in the dialect. The table of all the sounds here given
will show the paucity of different vocables, though it does not
probably include all the variations heard among the people, which
however most frequtently run into other sounds occurring in the table,
snd do not often exhibit new sounds. The list of finals in the first
column is arranged according to the table from the Fan Wan on

piige \iv, and not alphabetically.

XXVI INTRODUCTION.
The final hit, kil, lit, Slc, in the last line but one in this Table,
is not found in the Fan Wan at all ; the compilers appear to have
thought it unnecessary to add a whole order and another final for
the sake of one character, hii S^|^ a boot, the only one in the dialect
not vulgar or colloquial.
It will prove serviceable for the student to make out a table of
characters to correspond to this table of sounds, and read them
across and down with a native, so as to notice the effect made on
a final by changing the initial, and the alterations produced on an
initial under many finals. Reading over such a table a dozen times
with as many educated natives, will give as distinct an idea of the
changes which characters undergo in their sounds in the speech of
different persons, as can be obtained.
There have been attempts to follow up these changes in writing
this dialect in Roman letters, but in all cases it is better to adhere
to the classified arrangement given in the Fan Wan, and remember
the exceptions as being such. In the vocabularies and phrase-books
of Dr. Morrison, Mr. Devan and Mr. Bonney, no attention has been
paid to the classes of finals as given in the Fan Wan, or to the tones
or aspirates, and the errors in writing the words are numerous, eyen
according to their own modes of spelling.
The system of writing Chinese sounds here followed, has been
adopted, with some slight variations, in writing other dialects of
the language ; but it would be a great advantage to allstudents in it
if all the modes of spelling the dialects could be harmonized. It is
not supposed, by this remark, that this one is the best which could
be proposed, for some features of it could be modified to advantage,
but it certainly is more accurate for the student's use than to follow
the common English alphabet, with all its strange anomalies. The
various modes of writing each sound, as quoted after the remarks on
pp. xvi. . . .xix, show how much difficulty has been felt by those who
have tried to write them according to the English alphabet.
Mr. Goddard, in his Ti^chiu Vocabulary, uses<i, a and u as in this
table, but e, i, o, 6, and u, are substituted by him for the ^, i, d, o, and
u, in this table. He did not perceive that he was confusing his

own pronunciation by representing the i in machine an<i in pin by
the same letter ; as he was by blending th€ c in thctj and men. At
I.VTRODUCTION. XXVII
Amoy, unaccented vowels have been used, and the tones marked
by accents over the letters, which is likely still more to confuse
those who may try to read the sounds in that dialect, as a single
quotation will show.
86- kdng i, tiap-d-ku, chin-chia" si sid^-mih i-sii? God m chai i ^
s6' kdng.
At Fuhchau, the dialect is written very nearly like the Amoy,
without the tones superadded ; but at Ningpo there is more dissim-
ilarity, as an example will show.
Cd-go t'in-s yin-c'ih-l(B, lih-lec hyiang-en-go jing-siu-pin.

The differences between all these modes of writing Chinese sounds
are really not very great, for in none of them has the English al-
phabet been followed, and it would not be very difficult to reconcile
them to one standard, an object which appears still more desirable
when the plan of Romanizing them for the use of unlearned natives
is taken into the account. Perhaps it would, however, be best to
discard them all, and adopt Lepsius' universal alphabet, with which
he proposes to harmonize the mode of writing all languages.
2.— The Tones.

The shing ^L or tones form one of the most difficult and peculiar
features of the Chinese spoken language, but they can neither be
fully or easily described satisfactorily, for the reason that no European
language has them. Strictly speaking, they are neither tones,
modulations, words are usually
accents, nor emphasis, as those
applied in western languages; they probably more nearly resemble
the sound of notes in music. The note 6^ on a violin, an organ, or
a bagpipe, strikes the ear very differently, like the voices of a child
or man the note is alike on the gamut, and it chords on all those
;
instruments; but let G sharp be struck on one of them, and we feel
the discord, it is not the note at all. So in respect to Chinese

shing; if the right shing be not spoken, the right word is not spoken,
;
XXVIll INTRODICTION,
it is some other word. For instance, if a person says kiV instead

of iku
^J^ an
orphan, he does not say the word for orphan at all
he says that for ^^ old, or ^
firm, or j^ to hire, or some other
word equally remote in meaning. It is as if on the violin the player
strikes G sharp, instead of G natural ; though he makes a, note he
makes no chord with the organ or bagpipe sounding G natural ; as
it were, he speaks the wrong tone, and does not express his meaning.
It may not be indeed the case in Chinese, that the hearer will always
misunderstand the speaker even if the tones are pronounced wrong,
for there are additional clues to the meaning, but the chances are
against it.
Many explanations and illustrations of the tones have been written,

but as no one can get a clear idea of them until he has begun to
learn them from speaking with the people, it does not seem to be
worth while here to repeat what has been said in other works upon
this subject; but simply to refer to those treatises,* and denote the
way in which they are marked in this Dictionary. What adds to the
difficulty of understanding the differences between the tones, is that
the same name is applied by the natives to really different tones in
different dialects; in which, to complicate the matter still further,
the tone of the same character is sometimes changed ; consequently,
a person can hardly be sure that what is applicable to one dialect, is
descriptive of the same thing in another. The Chinese have written
about the tones to some extent, but their definitions, from the nature
of the subject, do not help foreigners much. The people learn the
pronunciation of words by the ear, and refer to a dictionary when
it* doubt about the tone, just as we do to Webster or Richardson
to nret the right spelling, but not to learn what the tones are.
'J'he compilers of the Fan Wan have formally arranged the cha-
racters under each final by the four tones ; and have also further
separated the upper and lower series, and the aspirated characters

into separate columns, though they have not so distinctly specified

them. The eight tones as given in the Table on pages xiv, xv, are
clearly distinguished by the Cantonese, and every word in this
Dictionary has been marked according to its tone by semicircles,

something like the mark used by the Chinese, as here exhibited.

There is more attention paid to the (f'ing ishing or monotone,
in its upper and lower inflection, than any other, and while the
three last are collectively called chak) tsking JX î or deflected
tones, the first retains its name. If the beginner gets a good idea
and practice of the ip'ing tshing, therefore, he will more easily get
the others. The ^sheung -.shing is also called the ascending or rising
tone ; the ku' (Shing the departing or falling tone ; and the yapt skiiig
the entering or abrupt tone ; these appellations are simply the literal
renderings of the native terms.
As the tones in Chinese are totally distinct from accent, in their
own or other languages, there are many objections to using the
common and generally understood marks (as '^"') on the tops of
the vowels to denote them, as has been done in romanizing some
dialects, and in the dictionaries of De
Guignes, Medhurst, and
others. By taking another sign, there is no mixing of radically
different symbols over the same syllable, as in kein, koyk, m'e"d, s6',
where one of the marks affects the power of the vowels, and the
other denotes the tone of the Chinese character. Since diacritical
marks in all European languages modify the power of the vowels,
it is desirable not to introduce any confusion in writing words, the
more so as the tones in Chinese are so entirely different; it is better
to adopt a new symbol.
XXX IXTROrUTTIOV.
* The Biirmesp, Siamese, and Shyan languages all possess some-

thing resembling the Chinese tones. The Burmese have two marks,
a shay-pouk (°) and an anmyeet („) to denote the different tones or
stress of voice, which changes the signification of words. The
Chinese denote a different tone in a few common bilingual characters
by marking them on that corner which is held to correspond to the
required tone, as
done. No
^ ^. |^ 3^ ^,
books are ever printed with the tones marked
though this is not always
to each
character, for the reason that every person who can read is deemed
to be acquainted with them.
The Chinese do not distinguish the upper or lower series when they
mark the tones, nor do they mark the aspirated characters. They
have not even a well known definite term to denote the aspirate, the
phrase pan hi
pg ^^ being rather of foreign than native origin, and
one which every native scholar does not understand without some
explanation. It is represented usually by a Greek spiritus asper
f], or an inverted comma ['], when the former is not be obtained,

to which some add an h also, as ch'hang, t'ho, p'han, t'hik, but not
wisely, for there is danger of confounding it with such English
words a.sfan, though, thick.
In order to learn the tones and aspirates, it is desirable for the

student to pay special attention for awhile to merely reading and
pronouncing the characters, irrespective of their meaning or form.
This should be done when commencing the study, for a vicious
pronunciation of the tones is seldom corrected and one is less ;
liable tobe misunderstood if he pronounces a word a little wrong,

as heng for hing, chiuk for tsiuk, than if he giVes it the wrong tone.
For instance, a native will consider this sentence in the Canton
dialect :^ -^ 5§ jj^ P>/S ^' less barbarously pronounced if he
hears it ding yet^ <.chdng dsong m sh'u\ with all the tones correct,
than should be spoken ning^ yati '^ch&ung ch'ong' ni' ichii, with
if it
all the tones wrong, which

would perhaps be nonsense to him.
The Table given on pages xiv, xv, should be thoroughly learned,
by reading it backwards and forwards, until the distinction between

the first three tones in both series is seen. A good practice also is
to read over the tables of characters given in the Fan Wan under
—
INTRODUCTION, XXXI
each final in the first part of it, where all the initials found under
each one are arranged by the tones. T'hus, under the 27th final,
these leading characters are thus arranged, the upper coming before
the lower series.

The practice of repeatedly reading these collections of characters

under each final, with a teacher, closely following his voice and
accent, will give the beginner as clear an idea of the difference
between the eight tones as he can get, and the practice he needs
at the same time. Foreigners speak generally in a higher key thani
natives, and pronounce most words in the qaing (shing, even when
the termination shows that it is in the yapi (Shing. There are far
more words, too, in the q)'ing ishing than in any other two tones.
Another exercise which can be followed with advantage, is to
read sentences artificially constructed of characters having the same
final, like the following:

Exercises like these, accompanied with frequent reading of the

same time committing selected sentences to me-
characters, at the
mory, may seem a waste of time and labor to the beginner, but
afterwards he will perceive the advantages. The matter of learning
the tones accurately is one of simple imitation, as one learns a tune,
or to mimic the voice of another, rather than to find out their nature
a)id then train the voice according to certain rules.
The importance paid them by natives appears to have been an
confusion which must ensue in speaking so many
effort to avoid the
homophonous words, unless there Was something to distinguish them
to the ear. The Chinese spoken language is so meagre in vocables
that it is no surprise that those who speak it should endeavor to qua-
lify the tones, and vary the modulation of the syllables in every way
they can, if by so doing they can add to the accuracy of their speech
and facilitate conversation. In this Dictionary, for instance, there
are eighty-one characters included under the syllables ki and k'i
and a native will so pronounce each one that in most cases he will
be understood without much difficulty, though the context, and the

dissyllabic phrases in which some of the characters are used, may
perhaps assist as much as the right tone. But a foreigner would
find difficulty at first in detecting any diffigrence in the pronuncia-
tion of the whole number eighty-one, if a native should read them
off to him. The chief hindrance in learning these tones lies in
the want of practice in such delicate modulations — a practice quite
unnecessary to those speaking any European language —rather

than in any mystery as to their nature. Practice in speaking, with
close attention at first to the right sound, will soon give a habit that
will gradually become easy; if the student does not learn them in
this way, no rules can help him.

INTROPUCTION. XXXlU
3. Plan of this Dictionary.

This Dictionary is called a Tonic Dictionary, because the charac-
ters in it are arranged under each syllable, according to their
tones, beginning with the ^sh£ung ip'ing ^shing J^ 3i ^ or upper
monotone, then the ha} iping (shing ~K ^^ or
and
lower monotone,
hhûng ~K
followed by the '^shiung ^sheung _J]^ _£^, ha}
p , or upper and lower rising tone, the ^sMung hii^ "K ^, and
lastly the ka} hu' "T» -^ or upper and lower retiring tone, always
in this same order. The other two tones, the ^shûng yapt Q ^
and hd^ yapi "T^ ^ will of course be found under other syllables.
In printing the volume, two main objects have been aimed at.
The first was to compress the essential part of a dictionary of the

Chinese language into a small space, and make as portable a volume
as could be done consistently with its usefulness, one which could
be carried with one when traveling, or handily used in learning
common characters. The second object grew out of the first : that
was to give all the examples in Roman letters only, the tone and as-
pirate of each word being This plan had already

carefully marked.
been tried in De Guignes' Chinese Dictionary, but was not very useful
in that work in consequence of the characters being arranged under
their radicals and not by syllables, so that the student, who was not
already well acquainted with the characters, knew not where to turn
for them, even with the assistance of the tedious list of syllables
at the end. was the want of Chinese type which compelled the
It
editor to publish that work as he did. The plan of Goncalves was

an improvement on that of De Guignes, for he inserted the cha-
racters to his examples with their translations, omitting the sounds.
In the works of Morrison and Medhurst, both are given ; in the
small work of Goddard, both are omitted, as no examples were con-
templated by the plan of his work.
In the Pan Wan, the attempt has been made, by writing the sound
and tone of each word in every quotation, to enable the student,
with the help of the translation following it, to refer to all the cha-
racters in it, by turning to them under their proper syllables. If
the characters had been introduced without their sounds, there

would have been a saving of room, but not enough to make the book
its present size. Portability was deemed of so much importance,
that advantages incompatible with it Were sacrificed. A single in-
stance will show how much the volume would have been increased
without adding a single sentence, if the characters had been inserted
in such type as is now available. When fonts of Chinese type

INTRODUCTION. XXXV
Care has been taken to have all the characters quoted in the
examples contained in the book, so that when at a loss it can be
referred to. If there be any doubt as to which is the right one out of
a number, the meaning of the sentence will soon lead to it ; and it
may be added that the habit of supplying the characters as one reads
over the quotations given in a definition, will tend to impress them
upon the memory, and make them familiar. If unluckily, the tone
has been placed wrong, or the syllable incorrectly printed, then the
meaning will aid in selecting the right character ; but it is believed
that the errors in the quotations are not numerous. If the sound of
a character is not remembered, it can be found by referring to the
Index at the end. There is room on the margin for writing a few
characters when it is desired, and in many cases it will prove useful
to do so.
In order to find a character in the Index, it is necessary first to
ascertain its radical, and then count the number of strokes made in
writing the rest of it. The largest part of the radicals are characters
in common use, and the student will do well to learn the whole
number thoroughly, so that he can tell their order and meaning. It
will not only be useful in looking up words in the Chinese lexicons^

but it will greatly assist him in remembering their composition and
meaning. The best mode of impressing the forms of the {characters
on the memory is an important question but in most cases, the ;
union of the radical and primitive, as the two parts to be remember-

ed, has the advantage of simplicity, and the sound and meaning can
be attached to these by the laws of association better than to a col-
lection of strokes made apparently without plan. After learning the
radicals, a careful examination of the primitives as given by Callery
will show the principles on which the great mass of characters in
the language are formed, and practice in reading and writing will
I hen make them familiar.
Many of the most common characters are the most difficult to
findjn the index; they are generally placed under the simpler radi_
cals, where they should be looked for first. For instance, |^, ^
^, JJ{ are all under \, ^, g, ^, are under ZL ; %^ ^,
are under j\^-, all of which are referred to these radicals chiefly
because it was a prominent part of the character, and likely to catch

XXXVl INTROBUCTION.
the eye. Such anomalous instances amount to about two hundred,

all of them primitives, while the remainder will give less trouble in
ascertaining the proper radical. About one half (108) of the radi-
cals are placed on the right or left of the primitive, —constituting one
half of the character, and easily recognized. Others, like .^, '^j
I \
"^^, rj, i^, P^ and p^ embrace the primitive, and give no
trouble. About 40 of them are placed on the top of the primitive,
a few of which enter into combination with it, as in ^^, ^, ^p,
in such a manner as to give some hesitation as to the radical ; while
others, as*^, J^,^, JiV* ^' H*' '°',4f,;^, P» aremore
apparent. For many of the remainder, where the radical is either
in combination, or the character is formed of two or three radicals,
as;^;^, ^' or ^' practice will soon give the necessary facility in
finding them. Some characters as ^, ^j, ^, ^, |i^, ^, made
up of two primitives, are usually placed with reference to their
meaning, and not to the most prominent part where they would be
looked for ; but their number is small. An examination of the radi-
cals and the groups placed under them will be found in Williams'
F'asy Lessons, pp. 4-29, and in Medhurst's Chinese and English
Dictionary, pp. xvi-xxiv.
In counting the number of strokes in a character, the radical is
not reckoned. After becoming familiar with the radicals themselves,
and having a general acquaintance with the primitives, the number
of strokes can most quickly be ascertained by inspection. For in-
stance, the character miiti^ rice porridge, found under the radi-
cal lik ^, i^ made up of ^, ^, -^ and ^) which seve-
rally number 3, 3, 6, and 15 strokes, or 27 in all the character im^ ;
/^ bubbling water, placed under the radical shut t|J^, is composed

'^f
ft ^) -^5 M' numbering 6, 7, 5, and 5 strokes, or 23 in
?
all. The number of characters formed of so many strokes as these

is very (ew, and in most cases a glance at the word is sufficient to
see how many make it.
