 PREFACE. 
 
 This Dictionary 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 Kanghi'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^ reading. All these characters are included in the Dictiona- 
 ^ ries of both Drs. Morrison and Medhurst, but in those of De Guignes, 
 
 I Gonsalves, and Callery, a selection of the common characters has 
 [ been made, to the number of from 11,000 to 13,000 in each work. 
 That this last number includes all that are really necessary is partly 
 proved by the usefulness of the work of Gonsalves, and^especiall^g 
 
 —{Hat of De Guignes, which has been in the hands of students ' 1 
 
 more than two score years, and by Klaproth J s Appendix to it, 
 
 which ， after years of study, he added on]y 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. 
 
 This work contains 7850 characters, including a few common 
 abbreviations and duplicate forms. Its plan is stated on page xxxiii 
 of the Introduction, and it is hoped that it will be found to work 
 well in practice. How the work itself has been performed, and 
 whether it is any advance on what has been already done, will be 
 
 decided by those who use it: With the books already published,

 dialect, though not all that is wanted. These works are five, viz . 一

 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 j5E 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 Callery 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 -lai jjj®, an im- 
 portant one in Chinese literature. K^nght 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, have- 
 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. First, the vast extent of the literature, running

 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 9 it is not easy to find exact equivalents 
 for Chinese words in European languages. Even in concrete thingis, 
 a 痛 ，筆 ，鞋 ，船， the differences are numerous, and require 
 explanation before calling them a booky a pencil, a shoe, or a shipl 
 how much more unlike must they be when mental, religious, 
 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. Thirds the years of study which are 
 required in a wearisome climate before a foreigner is even par^ally 
 -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 丨 anguage. 
 
 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^ is for learning the Canton or Ti^chiu dialects ; and i 
 those who are unable to procure the larger works, may find aid in | 
 it to enable them to read ChinevSe books. It has been prepared I 
 with care, by consulting previous works and a large collection of j 
 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 
 a& fully as would have been desirable to understand their application. 
 Technical uses of words in law, medicine, astrology, poetry, and 
 such- science as the Chinese possess, have not been very extensively

 collected hitherto; this work probably contains a few more than 
 any other, and perhaps expressed a little more definitely. It is no 
 assistance to a foreigner to know that li 2 is the name of a fish, or 
 t ying the name of a bird, or ^hang the name of a mountain, though 
 these words may convey to a Chinese as definite an idea as the words 
 darp, eagle, or Alps y do to an Englishman. Yet in most cases 
 only an approximation can yet be made to defining hundreds of such 
 words. 
 
 l With these remarks this Dictionary is offered to students in Chi- 
 Bnese, and especially to those who are engaged in the excellent work 
 Bof enlightening this people in true religion and science. It is a 
 r 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 sounds 
 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 have already been noticed, but it has not been thought 
 
 necessary to make out a full list of errata. 厂

INTRODUCTION ： 
 
 1. 一 The Canton Dialect. 
 
 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 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 ijij^ and in most parts of the ad- 
 joining prefectures of Kidying chau and Hwaichau fu, that their 
 inhabitants are not intelligible to citizens of th6 capital. This 
 dialect, usually called the Tiechiu from the local sound of , 
 
 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- 
 ka 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 kwan hwa 官話 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 common people.

 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 : 一

 The frequency of the abrupt consonontal terminations k y p, and t, 
 in the Canton dialect, immediately strike a northerner from Kiangsu, 
 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 sh or/ are not found in the Ti6chiu, or the initials 6, 
 lw, or mw in the Canton ; the oblique sound of u in turn is one of 
 most common finals in the former, aftd on^ of the rarest in the latter ; 
 there are no nasal sounds in the Canton, and no words ending with 
 the finals idng, iak, both of which are common in the Tiechiu. 
 These differences are among the nK>st notie^able between the two 
 leading dialects of this provkice, but the variations as one goes from 
 Chauchaa fu westward to Car>ton city, are numberless, nearly every 
 village exhibiting sonve peculiarities in the sounds of a few words. 
 
INTRODUCTION.

 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 l ik-tuk y Fan-wan ts 6 ut4u hdp tsap s p2 ^ jf^ 
 
 ^ ^ ^ ^ Letters for 'Travelers and a Collection of 
 
 Important Characters divided by their Tones. The preface of the 
 work is a mere bookseller^ 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 balky 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-pu of Yu-sh^n, and Wan K e i-shih of 
 Wu-k c 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 inexpedient 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 uote.

 This pocket dictionary ig usually bound in four thin volumea, and 
 sold for twenty-five cents; it contains 7327 characters, and only 175 
 pages, or on the average 42 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 the disregard the Cantonese pay to them in their writing, as 
 no one would degrade his composition by inserting them. This 
 rejection has had the result of keeping the greater part of them 
 unwritten, aqd 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 it is used for a colloquial word. 
 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 a man, at the side of some 
 well known character of the same sound, but not always of the same 
 tone. The words tsoP ^ a cargo ; Jca c f 〇 furniture ; g mai 
 
 咪 do not; ^ts'oi pshaw ! an(} remiss, &c., are examples 
 
INTRODUCTION. xiii 
 
 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 ann milk ; Jan a bazaar ; and aiai 奶 
 a lady, are examples of this practice. Again, characters having 
 nearly the same meaning as the colloquial word, bat 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 j)fJt to roast, used for ( nung f to scorch, to scowl; 
 Jiung ^ a hole, used for dung; are instances of this mode of adapta- 
 tion. Lastly, entirely new characters are made for some of them ; as 
 lat ^ to detach, pang 系愤 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, s.sjing, kwityjik, ap, &>〇., 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 
 in this dialect, has been a matter of considerable perplexity in the 
 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 well known 
 characters, as given in the annexed Table, all of them in the four 
 j 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 fijials in the dialect, if we 
 include the terminations in the fourth tone.

XV i 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 mimber. 
 
 1. Sin, sit, like seen, seat, peat, mean. Several of the words 
 commencing with a vowel, as in 言 ，紕 現， it are heard with 
 a nasal or aspirate, as ngm 9 Mn, ngit. (Seen, leet.) 
 
 2. Waiy like buy^ nigh. Words under this final occasionally run 
 into the longer sound of ai in the 14th order, especially in those 
 like kwa? ^nd shai. (Lei, wi ， fy.) 
 
 3. Ki, like me, flee. A few word& beginning with k f p and/, are 
 
 frequently heard like the 20th final, as lei ^ 
 
 已 , pronounced p^ 9 f^ 9 or h^i but this is the exception. Others 
 having no initial, as i V 耳 are often heard ngi. ( Tee, she ， lei.) 
 
 4. ChUy like sue, or the first part of the word choose. Words in 
 this order beginning with h, l f w, and ts, are often heard sliding into 
 
 hui, luiy nui y tsui, like the 22d order, as 去 ，俱 ，女 ，聚 ，序 ; 
 
 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 
 having no initial, often seem to a beginner to lengthen the vowels 
 into au, like the 18th order, as also do those like chau ^ hau 
 and p l au y -plj but a little practice will discriminate them. ( Tsow, 
 shaw, haio.) 
 
 6. Tung, tuk } like the Irishism wroong for wrung, and so nearly 
 
 toong ， took 9 that it is doubtfnl whether this filial ought not to be 
 written tung, tuk ; it must never be sounded like the English words 
 sung, hung, tongue. There are no variants in this final worth 
 noticing. ( Soong, idle.) 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 XVU 
 
 7. Ying, yik， \ike sing， Icing， quick， zving. So many words under 
 this order change the final into eng arid ek, that a separate list has 
 been made of them in the general 'Table of Sounds, but the propor- 
 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 ang and ah of the 15th order, as 兄京 明擰 ，兵， 
 into hang, kang, 7uang, nang, pang, & 〇 ., by which the people from 
 Uidiig^shan district are recognized at Canton. (Lcng, paeng, te-ang y 
 
 SUUJlg.) 
 
 8. Pan, pat, WVefun^ son } shun, tun, tvon, never like man, fan, 
 hat, cat. Variants in the yap shing, 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 Kiuy 含 u southwest of Canton. (Pun, kan, 
 fut, yet, chat.) 
 
 9. Ch&ung， ch&ulc, 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, yolc, naung, tsay-uJc.) 
 
 10. Kong, kok, like long, song, tvrongf hamlc, baulk ; never like 
 sock, lock. There is no difficulty in recognizing all words under 
 this final, even when as is occasionally the ca^e, they are heard like 
 Idng. ( Pawng， Icawk， 16k， w6ng, hoal^ tsoang.) 
 
 11. Kit, ld f as coo, cuckoo , lo , hoe , flow • 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 d, and ha^e 
 combined them apparently because in the court dialect most of ； 
 them ended in u. Those beginning with l f m, sh, and s slide from 
 /?/, niu, su, sh?j, into Id, md, shd, so, but under other initials there is 
 no trouble in distinguishing them. ( Lo, low y Jai, foo.) 
 
 12. Chiu, like new, few ， both vowels being plainly sounded. 
 I'his final is now and then heard like as ^ for in ; niu 
 for niu ； and also sliding into the 4th as [|^ hu for Jiiu. (Kew, chiu 9 
 tvc-ue, tit/.) 
 
 13. Uriy i'/t, like the u in ruin y June, jute ^ dilute. The variations 
 under this final are unimportant, and those are where the vowel is 
 changed in a few words to as nhi for nun, (Heuet， shun, 
 ut y une > side.)

XVlii INTRODUCTION. 
 
 14. Kdi, like aye, aisle 9 never shortened into nigh^jly, like the 
 2d final, though that frequently is prolonged into this. The Chinese 
 discriminate between the diphthongs ai and ai with much accuracy, 
 and the student should pay particular attention to them at first, or 
 he will constantly confound them. (Pai^ nie y ti y kai f kye.) 
 
 15. Tangy tak f like tongue^ sung % hung f muck^ hick, never like 
 Jiang i bang y 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 ^or shang^ hang for hang, 
 pdk for paky 6 lc.; many of these variations are noticed in the body 
 of the work. ( Pung, hang, tuk, mak ) hek } shajig, yak.) 
 
 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 sht y su, szu y scht } 《 5 公， hi, so that in many cases 
 it is hard to recognize them. (Sze y sz, sse, ss\ tse.) 
 
 17. Kam, kap, like hum, some, come, sup, tup y never like harriy 
 rap t nor came^ lame, nape y rape. A few words properly referred to 
 this final lengthen the vowel into kdm, kap, like the 24th, and others 
 also are changed into short e, as kem, nem. ( Yum ， shup ， 1dm shdp . ) 
 
 18. Kdu, like how very much prolonged ; the difference between 
 this, and the 5th final is merely in the longer sound of the a. There 
 are no variations in pronunciation worth noticing in this final. 
 ( Pow, kaou, chaow.) 
 
 19. Tsoi, like boy, noise, loiter. The oi in some of the words 
 referred to this final, inclines to ui of the 22d, as 來內台 _ 
 nui 9 tui, for loi, tioi, toi, but a little care will easily discriminate 
 them ; most of the words are uniformly sounded. (Toy、suy.) 
 
 20. Kim, krpy like cream, seem, team, sheeps reap. The words 
 under this final are very uniform, and there is ho particular cha- 
 racter worth noticing as a variant. (Keem, leep.) 
 
 21. Tsun, tsuty like the u in put } nuisance, the sound lying 
 between the vowel sounds \n fun and fool, in the 8th and 2?th 
 orders ; the 8th, 21st and 27th foals pan, tsuriy kun, 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 tuitg r tuk, as 
 some have en-deavored to do, for if the word tsun be slowly prolong- 
 
INTRODUCTION. xix 
 
 ed into tsung, it will be seen the difference is in the quantity rather 
 than in the quality of the vowel. (Tsutr， soot.) 
 
 22. Suiy 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 5 , l or n y easily run into this, and some of those placed here, 
 as tsui, yui f tui, also 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 f mooy y 
 sojj, shoo-e.) 
 
 23. Fo, like laio, saw^ taxv^ not no, two ； the o as in long, saum f 
 as in the 10th and 30th orders. This final undergoes no changes, 
 that are worth noticing. (Waw，h6，ldw，hd.) 
 
 24. Kaniy kap, like calm, psalm, not like ham f jamb, rap y map. 
 The characters under this final are comparatively few, and the 
 changes in their pronunciation very slight. ( Lahm y kam^ tarm, chaap y 
 
 —•) 
 
 25. Fan, fdt ) like Jahn y father ^ not like fan, fat, man, mat. 
 In the district of Shunteb, some characters in this order take a 
 singular change to bn, as hhi (like mane)^ phn f ^ kin (like 
 
 and so of others. (Wan, pann,fat.) 
 
 26. Ka y like ma, pa y a syllable that can hardly be mispronounced ; 
 there are no variations in the characters found under it. ( Ka,fah, 
 taa.) 
 
 27. Kvn, hit, like loon, coot, moot, nooriy presents no changes in 
 the sounds of the few characters found under it worth noticing. 
 (Poon^ foot.) 
 
 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, luy f kooy, nui, oo-e.j 
 
 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, Jcot, like laum, brawn y fought^ gought ; there are very 
 few characters under final, and in the mouths of many persons 
 some of them, as on and ngon are heard like ong and ngong, ( Ho an, 
 kon, on y hot.) 
 
XX 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 31 . Kdm, kdpy like home, comb, hope, not like some, come, sup, or 
 tom, hop ; there is a peculiar ora rotunda observable in the pro 
 nuncirttioa of the few words referred to this order. (Kuni y kup y kom, 
 h6m i hap, hop y hdp.) 
 
 32. P^ng, pak, sounded with a broad a, and not like bang, han^, 
 crack. Many words under the 15th final are so uniformly sounded 
 ^ike 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. ( Hdk, 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. (Itn, ’m, ing, 
 
 LIST OF THE INITIALS. 
 
 No list of initials is given in the Fan W an ; there are twenty- 
 three in all, which are here represented by the following characters. 
 The first one is a mute, 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 number they 
 give more trocr51e, ^perhaps, than the others. 
 
 1. M\ words having no initial consonant, are very liable to havo 
 a nasal ng or an li prefixed to them, or to have the vowel altered. 
 The people in Hiangshan, Macao, and Sin-ngan, change many words 
 in this way, so that if one does not see the character, he will look 
 for it under h or ng. 
 
 2, 20. The initials ch and ts are constantly confounded, and some 
 persons are absolutely unable to detect the difTerence, more frequent- 
 ly calling the words under ts as ch, than contrariwise. All cha- 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 xxi 
 
 racters with the sounds tsz' and ts ( z : are liable to be heard cht and 
 
 ck ( f y with a stronger breathing than those properly read chi and Mi. 
 
 4. The people along the coast and south of Canton often alter the 
 initial f into h or id in some words, and retain it in others ; it 
 changes sooner before a or a, than before i or u. 
 
 10, 11. The two initials / and m are frequently so interchanged in 
 the mouths of some people, that one is much puzzled to distinguish 
 them, and even n is altered too ; as lam for ndm ; man for 
 for nd; The number of such words is not very 
 
 great, and while the Tew who speak thus cannot discriminate the 
 inital consonant before some vowels, they never interchange them 
 before others. 
 
 16, 17. The initial sh is called s along the coast; in the districts 
 of Hiangshan, Sinning and Sinngan, this obtains to a very great 
 extent; shui shu shuk shdng shing 
 being heard sui, sii, suk, dndsang sing y as in the Ti6chiu and Amoy 
 dialects. The initial sh is a complete shibboleth to the people of 
 those districts. West of Canton, many are found who change sz* 
 into si/, 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 
 in the following table : — 
 
 1. a as in quoia y variable ; 
 
 2. a as in father ; 
 
 3. e as in men, dead, said ; 
 
 4. € as in they , neigh } say ;

 languages ; if in pronouneiag the word dizzy, the two letters 
 di be changed to s, this sound will be made. 
 
 23. y m or Am, is spoken with a closed month, like a voluntary half 
 
 cough. 
 
 24. y ng is a nasal sound, made by stopping the nose when it is 
 
 spoken.

 pronounced as in English : 一

 w? , as in maim ; 
 
 奶， 
 
 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 pronunciatioi) of pach character in the 
 
INTRODUCTION. Xxiii 
 
 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 of De Guignes, Morrison, Gonsalves, and Medhurst, nearly 
 agree throughout; and though what is termed the kwan 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, i'his 
 system is more strictly that which is known among the Chinese as 
 the Nan hivd or Southern dialect, in contradistinction to the Peh 
 hwa or Northern dialect^ the cities of Nanking and Peking respec- 
 tively being regarded as the stafldards of authority of the two. The 
 additional finals and initials found in the Court Dialect alone are the 
 following : — 
 
 ci, nearly as in weigh , but very open, both vowels being heard, 
 id, as in yard, piastre y both vowels plainly heard. 
 
 I N iah y like the last, b t ending abruptly. 
 
 iai y a triphthong, each letter of which is heard. 
 idng- y like iah, except the final ng ; both are pronounced broad. 
 idu, iehy ien f ih y in, ioh, iueh y iueri, iuh, iun y and iung^ are all 
 to be sounded distinctly, the i to be plainly enunciated before the 
 other letters. 
 
 ohy is an abrupt ending, like knocks though not so decided, 
 ueh^ uen y and uh f are all to be sounded distinctly. All words end- 
 ing in h, are in the jih shmg } but 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 70*7 different 
 syllables given in this Dictionary, many possible combinations, as 
 kwbm, tdngy lut f put } kw^uiig, fdniy foi, Ion 、 shot ， siin ， wiii ， Slc .， 
 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 frequently run into other sounds occurring in the table, 
 and do often exhibit new sounds. The list of finals in the first 
 Goluinn is arranged according to the table from the Fan Wan on 
 page xiv r and nut alphabetically,

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The final hii y kil, lu, 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, hu 靴 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, even 
 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 students 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 a, a and u as in this 
 table, but e f i, 〇 , 6, and w, are substituted by him for the i, d, o, and 
 in this table. He did not perceive that he was confusing his 
 own pronunciation by representing the t in : machine and in pin by 
 the same letter ; as he was by blending tli€ e iii they aiitf men. At

 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. 
 
 Sd' kdng tiap-d-ku y chin-chid n si sid n -mih z v -sw ? God m chai i ^ 
 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.

 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 woi^ld 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 5 universal alphabet, with which 
 he proposes to harmonize the mode of writing all languages. 
 
 2. — The Tones. 
 
 The shing 聲 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, accents, nor emphasis, as those words are usually 
 applied in western languages; they probably more nearly resemble 
 the sound of notes in music. The note G 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 ohords on all those 
 instruments; but let G sharp he struck on one of them, and we feel 
 the discord, it not the note at all. Bo in respect to Chinese 
 s.hing;, if the right shing be not spoken, the right word is not spoken, 
 
XXviii TJVTRODUCTTOVi - 一 ^ 
 
 it is some other word. For instance, if a person says hu^ instead 
 of* Jiu an orphan, he does not say the word for orphan at all; 
 
 he says that for old, or 固 Jirm, or to hire, or some other 
 word equally remote in meaning. It is as if on the violin the player 
 strikes ^ 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 
 pf the subject, do not help foreigners much. The people learn the 
 pronunciation of words by the ear, and refer to a dictionary when 
 in doubt about the tone, just as we do to Webster or Richardson 
 to get the right spelling, but not to learn what the tones are. 
 
 The 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 q^ing cshing or 
 
 monotone, 
 
 in its upper and lower inflection, than any other, and while the 
 three last are collectively called chak^ ：shing _ or deflected 
 tones, the first retains its name. If the beginner gets a good idea 
 and practice of the ^ing Q shi7ig 9 therefore, he will more easily get 
 the others. The i sh^ung ashing is also called the ascending or rising 
 tone ; the hi^ cshhig the departing or falling tone; and the yapi ：shi?ig 
 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 /NwA ) 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 k'ein 9 koyh, m'e n d y sd- y 
 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 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The Burmese, Siamese, and Shyan languages all possess some- 
 thing resembling the Chinese tones. The Burmese have two marks, 
 a shmj-pouk (°) and an anmyeet ( 〇 ) 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 though this is not always 
 
 done. No books are ever printed with the tones marked 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 p'an hi ^ being rather of foreign than native origin, and 
 one which every native scholar does not understand without some 一 
 explanation. It is represented usually by a Greek spiritus asper 
 [*]， or an inverted comma [‘] ， when the former is not be obtained, 
 to which some add an h also, as cKhang, t'ho, p'han, t'hiky but not \ 
 wisely, for there is danger of confounding it with such English 
 words as/an, though , thick. 
 
 In order to learn the tones and aspirates, it is desirable for the i 
 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 to be misunderstood if he pronounces a word a little wrong, 
 as Aewg for hVig ， for bfwA:， than if he gives it the wrong tone. 
 
 For instance, a native will consider this sentence in the Canton 
 dialect 擰一 張床 呢處 ， less barbarously pronounced if he 
 hears it ding ycU cchang itsong m sKu\ with all the tones correct, 
 
 than if it should be spoken ya 幻 i cC 厶公 , w i t h 
 
 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. Thus, 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 fin 戶 I, 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 than 
 natives, and pronounce most words in the ^ing asking, even when 
 the termination shows that it is in the yapi ashing. There are far 
 more words, too, in the ^ing filing 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 
 characters, at the same time committing selected sentences to me- 
 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 
 effort to avoid the confusion which must ensue in speaking so many 
 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 sp«ak 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 Jci: 
 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 difference 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 一 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. 
 
INTRODUCTION. XXXlii 
 
 3 b — P lan 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 ^shiung ^ing ^shing Zp or upper 
 monotone, then the ha 2 ip^ing asking or lower monotone, 
 
 followed by the Cheung ^sheung 上上， and 祕恤 “叹 下 
 上 ， or upper and lower rising tone, the ^sh^ung 祕 下去 ， and 
 lastly the ha 2 liu" 下去 or upper and lower retiring tone, always 
 in this same order. The other two tones, the ^sh^ung yap> 上八 
 and ha 1 yapi 下 A will of course be found under other syllables. 
 
 In printing the volume, two main objects have been ^imed at. 
 The first was to comprevss the essential part of a diGtionary 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 carefully marked. This plan had already 
 I been tried in De Guigne^ Chinese Dictionary, but was not very useful 
 t in that work in consequence of the characters being arranged under 
 I their radicals and not by syllables, so that the student, who wa^ not 
 already well acquainted with the characters, knew riot where to turn 
 for them, even with the assistance of the tedious list of syllables 
 at the end. It was the want of Chinese type which compelled the 
 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 exaiiiples were con- 
 templated by the plan of his work. 
 
 In the Pan Wanj the attempt has been made, by writing the sound

 the eye. Such anomalous instances amount to about two hundred y 
 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 
 匚 X：, 口 ，行 ，門 and 鬥 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 夷， 
 m such a manner as to give some hesitation as to the radical ; while 
 
 others, as 内 ，广 ，广 ，爪 ，穴 ，竹， W ， 件 ，卢 ，雨 ， ar e more 
 
 apparent. For many the remainder, where the radical is either 
 in combination, or the character is formed of two or three radicals, 
 as ^0， or practice will soon give the necessary facility hi 
 finding them. Some characters as 驚 ，議 ，魏 ，鑛 ，朦 ，揭 ， made 
 up of two primitives, are usually placed with reference tp 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 , 
 Easy Lessons, pp. 4-29, and in Medhurst's Chinese arid 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 rice porridge, found under the radi- 
 
 cal lik is made up of 弓 ，弓 ，米 and 蔑 ， which seve- 
 rally number 3, 3, 6, and 15 strokes, or 27 in all ; the character vn l 
 bubbling water, placed under the radical shut is composed 
 曲 ，豆 ，去 ，皿， numbering 6, 7, 5) and 5 strokes, or 23 in 
 all. The number of characters formed of so many strokes as these j 
 is very few, and in most cases a glance at the word is sufficient to | 
 see how many make it.

 The groups of characters under most of these radicals naturally refer to 
 the leading idea; about one-third of them are more arbitrary, a large part of 
 the characters under them having no reference to their radical. Those of the 
 latter sort are usually primitives, of which there are about 1700 in the whole 
 language. The selection of radicals is quite modern, and might be improved ; 
 but having come into general use, it would be more difficult to introduce a new ^ 
 .one than it is to learn the difficulties of this. The radicals are here further 
 arranged into something like natural groups. •

INDEX TO THE CHARACTERS 
 
 IN THE FAN WAN. 
 
 In this Index, the characters under each radical having the same number 
 of strokes, are arranged alphabetically, in order to facilitate reference to them 
 as much as possible. A very few, which are printed in italics, are found only 
 in the Appendix. Where a character has two sounds in the same tone, it 
 not repeated. Contractions of common characters are placed under thq 
 radical most prominent in them, and not with the full form.
