As the sixth volume of a multi-volume set on the Chinese language,
this book studies the influence of foreign culture on Middle
Chinese lexicon and the development of synonyms, idioms and
proverbs during the period. Focusing on lexicons in Middle Chinese,
the middle form of the Chinese language used between the 4th
century AD and the 12th century AD, this book first analyzes
loanwords in Middle Chinese, a product of cultural exchange with
western regions on the silk road and the impact of Buddhism. It
then discusses the differences in meaning between monosyllables and
polysyllables. The final chapter describes enriching idioms and
proverbs and the major sources of words, including classical works,
Buddhist texts and the spoken language. Illustrated with abundant
examples, this comprehensive groundwork on Chinese lexical history
will be a must read for scholars and students studying ancient
Chinese language, linguistics and especially for beginning learners
of the Middle Chinese lexicon.
