古屋昭弘通过作者的生活年代,推断泉腔韵图《拍掌知音》成书不会晚于1700年。然而《拍掌知音》存在“赵”字收入“娄”韵的现象,洪惟仁将此现象解读为《拍掌知音》晚于《汇音妙悟》(成书于1800年)的表象。文章通过考察泉州地区“赵”字的读音情况,认为“赵”字收入“娄”韵并不影响《拍掌知音》的成书年代。
Paizhangzhiyin is a rhyme table for ancient Quanzhou dialect. The book was written before 1700. However,the character Zhao was put in the Lou rhyme in this book. According to this, Hong Weiren(1996) claimed that this was an evidence which showed the book was written after 1800. By observing and studying the pronunciation of Zhao in Quanzhou area, this paper claims that Zhao could not be an argument for the date of completion of the book.
