Phonetic Transcriptions of Entering-Tone Characters
This list contains the entering-tone characters used in the recent-style shi poems
and in the end rhymes of the ci poems presented in this anthology. All entering-
tone characters end with the unaspirated consonant p, t, or k. Prevalent though
they were during Tang and Song times, entering tones no longer exist in modern
standard Chinese, but they are preserved in many regional Chinese dialects like
Cantonese and Hakka.
