What does the anti-tangent rhyme mean?

Anti-tangent rhyming refers to a method used in the phonological system of Chinese characters, and is a commonly used auxiliary tool in linguistic research. The principle of anti-tangent rhyme is to divide a word into two parts: initial consonant and vowel, and match the vowel with the initial consonant and vowel of another word to express the pronunciation of the original word. This method can accurately describe the pronunciation and sound changes of Chinese characters, thus helping people to better understand the phonological system of Chinese characters.

In ancient times, anti-tangent rhyming was widely used in philology, phonology and poetry creation. Especially in poetry creation, the anti-tangent rhyme method can help poets master the meter and make the rhythm and level of poetry more accurate. At the same time, anti-tangent rhyming is often used to solve the problem of word memory and communication, for example, in calligraphy, medicine and geography.

With the development of Chinese characters, the use of anti-tangent rhyming is gradually decreasing, but it is still of great value in studying the phonology, culture and history of Chinese characters. Modern scholars not only inherit and carry forward the essence of anti-rhyming, but also develop more scientific and systematic research methods and tools, which promotes the in-depth development of Chinese character research.
