Abstract

In the process of changing from Old Chinese to Middle Chinese, therewere many changes in the Chinese language system. Korea-Chinese wasinfluenced because it accommodated the pronunciation of Chinesecharacters. Most xiéshēng characters seem to follow the principle that,words must normally have identical main vowels and codas, and theirinitial consonants must have the same position of articulation. Generally,the initials of the Xiéshēng series, which have the same phonetic elementshould be the same. But some xiéshēng Character's Initials are differenteven though they have the same phonetic element. This phenomenon isnot only in Sino-Chinese but also in Korea-Chinese. Therefore, thisarticle will check the different aspects of the xiéshēng Characters whichhave the same phonetic element, and search the dividing process, the findtheir original sounds. And through the orignal sounds to explain somespecial case which was definded by the other scholars. We choose the xiéshēng Characters with '자(者)' phonetic element ofKorea-Chinese, which has never been explored as an object, in order tocheck their initials we extracted the '자(者)'xiéshēng Characters from the15·6 century's literature.
