Li Shan’s Wenxuan Annotations is regarded as a masterpiece of “Studies of Wenxuan”, which implies Li Shan’s unique ideas that are different from those of the previous phonosemanticans of Wenxuan. He fully inherited and developed the tradition of phonosemantics from the Han Wei (漢魏) to Sui Tang (隋唐) Dynasty. Under the influence and inspiration of the comprehensive and erudite style of learning at that time and the prologue of Jingdianshiwen (經典釋文), he opened up a precedent of large-scale citation-based annotating by adopting the sounds and meanings of various phonosemanticans, avoiding the shortcomings of the “one sect’s learning”. At the same time, he has chosen the sounds that he recognized, and achieved the right degree of simplicity. His demand for the unity of form, sound and meaning has been very close to the modern idea of “matching sound and meaning”, which can be regarded as an extremely important stroke in the history of the development of Chinese phonosemantics.
