K A ^ a ± III -jr: _i_- Ie roi tf ^ W: m i>t$ PL PREFACE. -•^o3i- As two names appear on the title-page of this dictionary, it is proper to indicate our respective shares in its preparation; and the more so, as it is due to the Kev. Mr. Baldwin to state that the larger portion of the labor of authorship has been freely performed by him, and that to his correct scholarship, extensive knowledge of the Foochow dialect, and indomitable perseverance, the dictionary is mainly indebted for the degree of thoroughness and accuracy it may possess. The manuscript for that portion of the dictionary compris- ed in pp. 1 — 631 was originally prepared by myself, but it was sub- sequently very carefully revised and improved by Mr. Baldwin, and a considerable portion of it (pp. 403 — 631) was entirely re-written by Mm. The portion comprised in pp. 632 — 1014, together with the In- troduction to the dictionary, was prepared by Mr. Baldwin, and, as it was impracticable for me to revise his manuscript, it was printed just as it came from his hands. The general plan of the work and a responsibility for the whole are mine. . ' The design and scope of the dictionary are so fully set forth in the Introduction, given on subsequent pages, that it is unneces- sary to make any extended remarks on the subject in this place. The aim has been to present a work that shall at once illustrate the Foochow dialect, and prove a valuable help to all students of the Chinese language. The definitions of the characters, and a large number of the phrases given under them, will apply equally well to any dialect through which the student seeks to acquire a knowledge of the general wi-itten language of China, Everything in .V / >/ \f^ iv PREFACE. the work that is peculiar to the Foochow dialect has been carefully marked, so that the student caunot be misled on this i^oiut. The large number of Romanized words appearing in the dictionary, aiid for which the written language furnishes no charactei-s, is an mterest- ing feature of this dialect, and indicates that modern Chinese thought is outgrowing the stereotj-ped fonns of this ancient language. The same feature appears in other dialects. It is difficult to assign exact geographical limits to the Poo- chow dialect, or to estimate with precision the amount of the pojjula- tion by whom it is spoken. In Foochow city, the capital of the Fookien province, and throughout the Foochow and loonhig pre- fectures, it is, with considerable variations, the vernacular of the people. Beyond these limits, it is spoken only by the Foochow merchants, artisans, &c. &c. who reside in most of the important cities of Fookien. Regarding Foochow city as the center of the dialect, we may say that it extends, eastward to the sea, a distance of about thirty miles; northward, to the Chehkiang province, two hunched miles; tvesfward, to the Yenping prefecture, one hundi-ed miles; and southward, to the Hinghwa prefectui-e, seventy miles. It is probable the dialect is spoken by five milUons of people. The only native work on the dialect is a small Tonic dictionary, named the Park Tug (Eight Sounds), and containing about 10,000 characters, which are distributed, according to their tones, imder what are called the Initials and Finals of the dialect. The work is noticed more at length in the Introduction to this dictionary. In the preparation of this dictionaiy, the residts of the labore of Drs. Morrison, Medhm'st, and Williams, in Anglo-Chinese lexicog- raphy, have been freely availed of, and this general acknowledge- ment of indebtedness is gratefully made. Sincere thanks are tendered to those members of the Missionary community in Foochow who have, in many ways, rendered valuable assistance — especially to the Rev. S. L. Baldwin, and Rev. L. N. "Wheeler, whose opportune help made it possible to publish the work in Foochow, and under whose consec- utive superintendence five hundred pages of it were printed. A large portion of the Mandarin sounds, which appear under the leading characters in the dictionary, were kindly furnished by Walter T. Lay PREFACE. Esqr. of the Imperial Maritiiue Customs: Mr. Lay, however, is not responsible for any typoo;raphic errors in this department, as it was impossible for him to coiTect tlie |>roof-shectR while the work was passing through the i^ress. A brief list of Additions i^ placed at the end of the dictionary proper, and in it are given some additional uses of (characters, and a few Romanized words and plirases which do not appear in the body of the work. A table of Corrections is given at the close of the volume, in which the more important eiTors occurring in the dictionary have been noted : the errors not con-ected in the table are thought to be of an unimijoi-tant character, and theii- appropriate con-cction is readily suggested by the connection in which they occur. In the Index of Characters, where brackets have been used, it will be noticed that fre- quently the same character is repealed once or twice. In these instances the character has different tones which afi'ect its meaning. The fig-ures indicate where each form is found. The printing of the dictionaiy, in view of the limited and im- perfect appliances at command, has been a difficult- and tedious task : the type-setting and press-work have been pei-foi-med by Cliinese hands; and, during the printing of the larger portion of the work, the supemsion of the press and the drudgeiy of conecting the first "proofs", have unavoidably devolved on myself. A consideration of these circumstances will, perhaps, mitigate the severity of criticism, with regard to the defects and errors that may be detected in the work. The expenses of publication have been defrayed by the Mission l*i-ess connected with the Foochow Mission' of the Methodist Episco])al Church, U. S. A.; and it is hoped that the proceeds arising from the sale of the book may reimburse the Office for the the heavy outlay. The lexicogi'aphic elucidation of, at least, the more prouxment dialects of China may, perhaps, be regarded as a pressijig demand of the times. A knowledge of the proverbs, peculiar idioms, and common speech of a people so numerous as the Chinese will throw important light on questions connected with the general laws of language; and is absolutely necessarj' to all who seek to influence Chinese mind, or fonn a coiTCct estimate of Chinese character. The materials for the following dictionary have gradually accumulat- Ti PREFACE. ed in ourliaiulH, from vnrious sources, during twenty years-of ordinary fitudy and labor as niissionanes. It bas been our cherislied hope that ultimately they might assume a permanent form, so as to be of service to others who may follow us in the study and use of the Chinese laui;TJd<'C'; and it is with much satisfaction that we are now permitted, in the providence of God, to realize that hope: at the same time we recognize the entire truthfiiluess of Dr. Johnson's remark, that while "every other author may asph-e to praise, the lexicogi'apher can only ho}>e to escape reproach". The work is now offered to the public, with the earnest desire that it mf^y be useful to students of tlie Chinese language ; that it may tend to facilitate friendly intercourse between Western nations nnd China; and, above all, that it may promote the cause of Christian jilissions among the Chinese. E. S. MACLAY. FoocHOw, June 14th 1870. Conversion Table. The system of orthography used in this dictionary differs somewhat from the romanization adopted later by Foochow-speaking people. Since the latter form of romanized symbols has been popularized, the following conversion table is hereby introduced. THE ROMANIZED SYMBOLS OF THE FOOCHOW DIALECT. Old. Standardized. VOWELS: a as in father a a " " hat a t " " set € e " " her e 6 " " all u " " French I'une u CONSONANTS: ch soft, not aspirate c ch' strong, aspirate ch h (initial), aspirate (as in his) h k soft, not aspirate 9 k' strong, aspirate k I as in English I m as in English m n as in English n ng as in singing, both at the be- ginning and ends of words ng V soft, not aspirate b v' strong, aspirate P s as in English s t soft, not aspirate d t' strong, aspirate t w (initial consonant) as in want u y (initial consonant) as in you i INTRODUCTION. The design of tliis Dictiouary is to assist the student in the acquisition both of the classic or written, and the vernacular or spok- en, forms of the Foochow dialect. The former in style, idiom, and usage often differs widely frora the latter. In orthography however all the tables of initials, finals, and words are precisely the same in both forms ; and many single words and phrases that are strictly classic or com- mon book-phrases are also used in the spoken language. A consider- able part of such phrases are however confined to the literary class of the people. This has led some to style the more refined terms teachers' or scholars' patois. The common use of some phrases in the reading and colloquial styles appears in the plan of the work. It is farther evident that a fair proportion of the phrases in Chinese character at the foot of the page, as also the definitions of the lead- ing classic or lexicographic characters are the common property of the mandarin and local dialects of the empire. It is hoped therefore that this volume will be of ■ general use to students of the Chinese language. The work contains 928 different syllabic divisions or sections, as written in Roman letters and numbered in the text. This of course does not include all the distinctions arising from difference in tone. The number of leading classic and colloquial characters, including the abbi'eviated and duplicate or alternate forms, and those repeated un- der different sounds is 9390. The number of paragraphs with one or more leading characters is 8311, and the number introduced by Romanized colloquial words, without Chinese characters to re- present them, is 1242, making the whole number of paragraphs in the Chinese and English text 9553. Besides these two classes, some characters are found in the phrases at the foot of the page, which do not ^appear in the main text as leading characters. In such cases the meaning of the character appears in the definition of the phrase where its Romanized equivalent occurs, and this is often the only, or the most important, meaning it ever has in the language. There are also occasional instances of unimportant colloquial words or particles, in combination ' with other words in the Romanized phrases, which do not appear independently as leading words. The arrangement of the worK is alphabetic, excepting that the aspirate and composite initials are treated as single and independent letters. The order then is a, cA, ch\ e, A, i, k,k\ I, m, n, 7ig^ o^p^p\ 5, t^ t\ u, ?<7, ?/. The Chinese characters are arranged in the order of the tones, when the Romanized spelling for their sounds is the same. The mandarin sounds are in general according to Wade's system. viii mTRODUCTlON. and are pl.ared under the characters. The general detinitions are ori the authority of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary and native authors, as interpreted by teachers and lexicographers. The colloquial or unauthorized meanings are always clearly distinguished. Sometimes an additional reading of a leading character is given before the general detinitions, when its detiTiitions are the same in the differ- ent readings. When they are different, both the reading and defini- tions are usually given at the close of the paragraph or in the proper alphabetic place in the book. In the latter case reference is made to the different sound- at the end of the general definitions. The standard authority among native scholars for the reading!^ of characters, as well as for their meanings, is Kanghi's Dictionary. The Paik Inff^ a native tonic dictionary, is not classic authority, though prized as a convenient Manual of the Rudiments of this dialect and as furnishing brief definitions of characters. Usage Jiowcver often disregards the readings of both these dictionaries. And in the present work such usage is frequently followed in assigning a charac- ter its Romanized alphabetic place, while the reading discarded by native usage is noted in the phrase "Read. . . .in the dictionaries" im- mediately following the character. The readings of the Paik Ing are mostly used to introduce colloquial words and phrases. But even in this respect there is no strict rule followed by native teachers. They use much liberty, often choosing, either for its sound or its sense, some classic character, simpler than the one found in the Paik Ing. The phrases are distinguished into three classes: (1) those following the general definitions are classic or book phrases; (2) those under com., are common to the written and spoken languages, and include many refined terms and some epistolary phrases ; (3) those under coll., are such as, by reason of idiom, meaning, or colloquial characters used wholly or partly to represent them, may be more propei'ly classed as colloquial phrases. The number of phrases in this dictionary is estimated at 30,000 to 35,000, of which §^ or | are com- prised in the last two classes above mentioned, and are consequently used with more or less frequency in the ordinary business of life. A slight acquaintance with ' the language Avill convince the student of the impossiblity of making a thorough and perfect distinc- tion of the ])hrases into such classes. The literaiy tastes, knowledge, mental habits, and modes of speaking of different native teatrhers, as also the conceptions of the same teacher at different times, all tend to make the limits of the three classes somewhat variable, as found by actual experience in our work. Still there is ground for the distinc- tion, and we hope that it will be useful in showing generally what phrases are spoken and what are not. It should also be remarked in reference to the deKnitions of many of the colloquial phrases that there is no very fixed standard by which to test them. Usage varies to some extent in different places, while teachers and others oflen fail to agree in their explanations. This is' peculiarly the case in reference to proverbial phrases. Some are uni versally known and used. Others arc local, and others still are different ly explained and applied in different loealilies. INTRODUCTION. IX ORTHOGRAPHY. The system of orthogi'aphy adopted in this Dictionary is essentially that known as the system of Sir William Jones. It was used in Romanizing the langnages of India and the Pacific Islands, and the dialects of the North American Indians.

TJie native standard of pronunciation is a work called ^ jHk /\ ^ ^ ^ Ch'ek Ling Faik Ing Hah Ten g ox more simply the PrtiAr Ing, or Eight Tone Book. As seen from the full title it is a comj^ila- tion of the works of two authors, GW^ek and Ling. The page is divid- ed by a horizontal line. The lower section is by Ling, and the char- acters are an-anged by a system of 20 initials and 35 finals. As a dictionary, it is somewhat more comprehensive than the upper part,^ but it is not used as a standard of pronunciation. The upper section is ascribed originally to Ch'ek (a military chieftaila of the Ming dynas- ty, known familiarly as B^ y^ ^^ Ch'ek ch'ang chiong), and is the only standard of pronunciation for the Foochow dialect. It is a dictiionary in which all the characters are systematically arranged according to their sounds. Each simple word has three elements, an nitial sound, a final sound, and a tone. The initials are termed che fan, word-heads. The finals are tenned che mo, word- mothers, or fundamental generic sounds. To reprasent the foimei, 15 characters, having the 15 different initial sounds, are used. To represent the latter, 33 characters are in like manner employed. The original number was 36, but three of these became obsolete on accouiit of identity in sound with other three In the list. This sys- INTRODUCTION. tein of initials, linuls, and tones constitutes the alphabet of the lan- guage. All the characters of the Paik Ing are arranged under the 33 finals, as the leading element or symbol, with the subdivision into 15 classes undei- eacli final according to the initial sounds of the char- acters, and the i'artlier subdivision into 7 classes under each initial according to their tones. In practice, however, it will be found that for a considerable number of possible combinations of the Initials and Finals with theu- Tonic inflections, there are neither written characters nor colloquial words in this dialect. The above arrangement of chai^ictors with then- definitions constitutes Chinese Alphabetic Dictionaiy. By referring to the Tables below, the student will observe that an initial sound is a single consonant or two consonants combined, and that no vowel is ever used as an initial. ("Words under the eng initi xl, however, may be regarded as beginning with the vowel of the final sound or with w or y). It is also seen that a Jinal sound con- sists of a vowel or vowels, sometimes preceded by w or y, and some- times followed by /t, k, or ng. Tones. The tonic marks belong properly to the Romaniaed orthogra- phy of the language, as the tone is always an essential part of the word. In theory and as commonly spoken of, there are eight tones in this dialect, but practically only seven, as the second and sixth are identical, and the characters and spoken words having this peculiari- ty of sound are invariably referred to the second tone. The tonic marks are the same as those used in Williams' Tonic Dictionary. They consist of semicircles, and semicircles combined with horizontal .strokes. Their position at the corners of characters and words in- dicates the tone, as seen in the following diagram : — 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. .n- 'm K' ^> SA w m m^ ^Tang. . Tak,. ^Tang. (]!:ilt(l. INTRODUCTION. xr The seventh or secondary diminishing tone, called ha} A'cii', is a guttural downward circumflex. It is, in English, expressive of pe- culiar emphasis, frequently indicating rebuke, scorn, or contempt, as, " Whence, and what art thou, execrable shaj^e? . . . Back to thy punishment. False fugitive.^'' "You wrong me every way; you wrony me, lirutus." The words very many, if spoken with forcible emphasis, would also exhibit the tone under conside: ation. ' This is probably the most difficult tone in the language to enun- ciate correctly, under all circumstances. The eighth, or secondary abrupt tone, called ha^ ik, closes abruptly, like the fourth tone, but ditfers from it by being enutvci- ated on a uniform pitch, a little above the ordinary key. The eighth tone is an abrupt termination of the first tone, in the same manner as the fourth tone is an abrupt temiination of the third." The tones in Combination When words are enunciated singly, the tones appear in their full form and are marked in their elements and distinctive peculiarities. But in compound terms ornames, and inphrases whose component words are in regimen, or close construction, they assume strikin,;; peculiarities, w^hich in some cases involve a radical change. These pectdiarities relate to the first or leading word of the term or phrase. The only exception that we have noticed is when the following word is a mere suffix or unimpor- tant word, in which case the leading word usually retains its ordinary character as to tone. The^ars^tone (leading) is usually spoken with a very strongly marked accent as in ,5«/i^ ,saw^ (teacher), Jci ^chi (a foundation). The second tone (leading) has the peculiar inflection noticed above in the description of tones. It sometimes imparts to the voice a slightly sarcastic accent, especially when the following word is in the 3d or 7th tone, as in '■siong seW (reward), '^ka mo^ (to feign). The third 2ind. seventh tones (leading) cannot be distinguished form the first (leading). They have the same strongly marked accent. This is easily tested in colloquial terms which have no generally accepted character to represent the leading word. Native teachers, in borrowing a character for it, often disagree. One, perhaps, will use a first tone, another a third tone, and another a seventh tone, character. ^ha fourth tone (leading), when ending in h, has the quality of the first tone (leading) ; when ending in k, that of the second tone (leading). The following are familiar examples : — tidh^ Jivoa (to pluck flowers), k'-ah, ^tH&ng (a parlor), toh, '■ki&ng (a small table) spoken as ,l6 '■kidng (a small knife) ;paik,.ing (the eight tones), ch'ek, 7>givok^ the seventh month), t^iek^ lieng' (an iron chain). Tcvi INTRODUCTION. The fifth tone (leading) is spoken in a low or depressed tone of the voice without marked emphasis. The inexperienced student in his eftbrt to speak words of this tone in regimen, according to the rules laid down for the tones in their full form, misses the sound en- tiii-^ , and enunciates it like the first tone in regimen, saying ^niemf pvaan;f instead o\\nieng pvanq'' (a year and a half), ^pn sak, instead of ipn fiifA\ (a Budhist idol). The distinction is very apparent in the coni[)arative protiuiiciation of such phrases as ,ki '■chi (a foundation) and ^ki 'chi (chess-men). The sixth tone is obsolete, or the same as the seco?id. The seventh tone (leading) is the same as the third tone (lca(i- ing), q. V. The eighth tone (leading) has no marked distinction — as that prevailing in the fouHh tone — between words ending in h and k. In the city of Foochow it is enunciated in a depressed tone of voice like the fifth tone (leading), while in the suburbs, and probably in the country, it is often heard with a strongly marked accent like the first tone (leading). This may be regarded as a kind of country brogue. In phrases having the seco.:c? word in the fifth tone, this peculiar brogue is less evident, which is due to the strong radical stress or em- phasis pertaining to that tone. Examples , — pah^ ')na (a white horse), sioh^ fjyi (a stone tablet), sidh, ^ta (to drink tea),pTA, f-ak^ (the white pagoda), hok:, ,seng, (a pupil), hak^ e'' (agreeable), nik, ^f-au (the sun). Tablks, The following Tables exhibit the system of Romanized Orthog- raphy, as used in writing the words or vocables of this dialect. An approximate rcpro ;cntation of the sounds is all t lat can be hopeJ for in this department. Some students prefer i and u to ?y and iv where these occur in the system. Good arguments may be adduced for either set of letters. But it should be observed that such arguments are partial in their applicaaon and do not affect the system as a whole, when the tones and their combiiiations, as well as the vowel and con- sonant sounds, are considered. It is hoped that the system adopted in this work will be readily acquired and prove serviceable to the student. TABLE I.

Much difficulty is experienced in Romanizing some of the final sounds. (a) Some would write the pwi final pwe; others prefer the form pwoi. (b) Some give to the kwo final an additional slight a or c sound, writing it iwoa or kwoe. (c) Some would write the kio final kilo; others prefer the form Moa or kioe. Perhaps none of these forms fully represent the required sounds, which are accurately learned only by imitating the native mode of pronunciation. (d) The vowel sounds of the ch'iu and sieu finals are often confounded — by teachers as well as others — especially in the suburbs and country. The same remark holds in reference to the pioi and hwi finals, the tendency being to use wi tnstead of wi TABLE n. Primary syllables or words, formed Note.

It appears from Table III, and its note of explanation that there are 90 final syllables, which (as belonging to the en-^, 1^, ^ > jfi, '^, Yff Hn, -^Z', J^, pif , are more apparent. For many of the remainder, where the radical is either in combination, or the char- acter is formed of two or three radicals as ;|||, ^, or ^, practic** will soon give the necessary facility in finding In counting the number of strokes in a character, the radical is not reckoned. After becoming familiar with the radicals themselvcR, and having a general acquaintance with the primitives, the number of strokes can be most quickly ascertained by inspection. For instance, the character ^ ( rice - porridge ), found under the radical fX, is made up of 3 , ^|^ and ^ , which severally number 3, 6, and 3 strokes, or 12 in all; the character j^ (bubbling water), placed under the radical ^, is composed of ^, ^, "Jj, ^, numbering 11, 7, 2, and 4, strokes, or 24 in all. The number of characters formed of so many strokes as these is very few, and in most cases a glance at the word is Sufficient to see how many make it". The following brief analysis may also be found i;iseful in the more difficult task of memorizing the general meanings of characters. "The groups of characters under most of the radicals naturally refer to the leading idea; about one-third of them are more arbitrary, a large part of the characters under them having no reference ) their radical. Those of the latter sort are usually primitives, of which there are about 1700 in the whole language". In conclusion, the following practical suggestions are made, relating principally to the acquisition of the spoken language. 1. Study thoroughly the Orthography, comprising the rudi- ments of the language with the elements of initial, final, and tone in single words, as given in the Tables. 2. Practice on the rudiments and tables with the native teacher. learning to enunciate as he does. No extent or thoroughness of in- dependent study can ever compensate for deficiency in such practice. XXIV INTKODUCTION. n. Notice the important changes which occur in the combina- tion of tones, as given on pages xv and xvi. 4. Also obsen'e how the final consonants h, k, and g, and some of the initials, are often half-suppressed or seem wholly to disappear in the easy, native mode of speaking. Very close at- tention should be given to these idiomatic changes, so soon as thoioughness is attained in enunciating words singly. This is es- sential to ease and accuracy in public address and common con- versation, 5. It will be found useful to pratice writing out, in the Ko- manized form, simple phrases heard in conversation. This will serve to fix them in the memory, and to draw the attention to many important words or paiiicles, which otherwise might not be thorough- ly learned for years. 6. The student should by no means confine himself to his books and teacher, but should mingle with common people and observe carefully their modes of speaking'. The union of study and observa- tion will help to form a style, alike removed from coarseness and excessive refinement, while exclusive study with a teacher will tend to the formation of a book-colloquial style, not fully or readily understood by the people at large. :o:- ALPHABETIC DICTIONARY OF THK FOOCHOW DIALECT.
