關於朝鮮漢字音脫胎于中國何時代的音系,諸家雖然有不同假說,例如:有上古音説(姜信沆等)、切韻音説(朴炳采)、唐代長安音説(河野六郎)、宋代開封音説(有阪秀世)等,但是從十五世紀朝鮮漢字音的實際狀況來觀察,朝鮮漢字音脫胎于上古音的可能性較高。
Based on the "YukjoBeoppoDangyeongEonhae"(《六祖法寶壇經諺解》)the Chinese characters as material, according to the similarities and differences between the sound of Mr. Wang Li at the beginning of the phenomenon of archaic Chinese initials and "Dongguozhengyun"(《東國正韻》), firmly grasp the "xiamu"(匣母) divided into nine clues and researching.
