Hofmann Posted November 29, 2009 at 07:19 AM Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 at 07:19 AM (edited) I made this for a class and I thought I'd share. It is aimed at people who only speak Chinese languages that don't have entering tones (such as Standard Mandarin). The "how to read classical poetry in modern mandarin.pdf" is a printed PowerPoint presentation. "5 steps.pdf" is a poster outlining the process. 5 steps.pdf how to read classical poetry in modern mandarin.pdf Edited January 29, 2010 at 09:37 PM by Hofmann The "how to read....pdf" had an error.

Xiwang Posted November 30, 2009 at 02:38 AM Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 at 02:38 AM Thank you for sharing this with all of us. I plan to get more into classical poetry in the future. At the moment, I prefer the crutch of having dual language (Chinese and English) books. The last book I bought was physically beautiful. Unfortunately, the Chinese publisher tried to force all of the English lines into rhyming couplets, which obviously rendered an accurate translation impossible. (Still, a nice gift for someone not too concerned about such things.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofmann Posted January 29, 2010 at 09:40 PM Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 at 09:40 PM How come no one told me I said 獨 is 陰入? It's supposed to be 陽入. You jokers don't pay attention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofmann Posted March 6, 2010 at 03:13 AM Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 at 03:13 AM Shortcut for 入聲-less Chinese speakers who use Firefox: CantoFish. You'll get the right tone 99% of the time. Cantonese tone numbers: 1: 陰平 2: 陰上 3: 陰去 4: 陽平 5: 陽上 6: 陽去 1 with final consonant or 7: (上)陰入 3 with final consonant or 8: (下)陰入 6 with final consonant or 9: 陽入 The differentiation between 上陰入 and 下陰入 is a Cantonese thing. They were not differentiated in Middle Chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
