Guangyun 廣韻 "Extended rhymes" is a character dictionary from the Northern Song period 北宋 (960-1126). The characters are arranged according to pronunciation, in rhyme groups. The whole title is Da-Song chongxiu Guangyun 大宋重修廣韻. It was compiled by Chen Pengnian 陳彭年 during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong 宋真宗 (r. 997-1022) on the base of earlier rhyme dictionaries, the Qieyun 切韻 and the Tangyun 唐韻, and thus perpetuated the system of arranging characters in rhyme groups. The Guangyun is the first government-issued rhyme dictionary in China. It is also the oldest rhyme dictionary surviving in total and therefore became an important tool for the study of ancient Chinese language, in this case, late middle Chinese.
Beginning of the Guangyun, Guyi congshu 古逸叢書 edition, reproducing a Song period print, and therefore called Fu Songben chongqiu Guangyun 覆宋本重修廣韻. The first fascicle includes the level-tone (pingsheng 平聲) rhyme groups from 東 to 山. In the "table of contents", the pronuncation according to the fanqie system 反切 is written above each head character (like 德紅 for 東), and in some cases, integrative (tongyong 同用) or exclusive (duyong 獨用) use of head characters is indicated.

The Guangyun is 5 juan "scrolls" long. The characters are arranged in 206 rhyme groups, namely 57 level tone rhymes (pingsheng 平聲, because of the length of this part divided into two series of 28 shang pingsheng 上平聲 from 東 to 山 and 29 xia pingsheng 下平聲 from 先 to 凡), 55 falling-rising tone rhymes (shangsheng 上聲), 60 falling tone rhymes (qusheng 去聲), and 34 entering tone rhymes (rusheng 入聲).
The Guangyun records 26,194 characters and explains their meaning. The characters are, below the level of rhyme groups, arranged in groups of homophones, of which 3,890 are existing.
The she 攝 rhyme groups are derived from Sankrit. For each of the four tones the rhyme groups are counted separately, the level tone series is divided into two. Numbers in brackets () indicate the absolute number of the 206 rhymes. During the Song period the rhyme groups were reduced to 106, indicated in square brackets []. For this process rhyme groups were merged, indicated with an arrow →. Four rhyme groups have been merged with quite distant groups (拯, 證 into 迥; 等 and 嶝 into 徑). |

According to the Shiben, there were noblemen of the state of Song with the [surname of] Dongxiang. Jia Zhi's Yingxianzhuan says, there is a surname Dongxiang in Gaomi, whose representatives acted as court gentlemen for the Liu-Song dynasty (?). This must be [the surname of] Dongyang. The Qixieji, scroll 7, mentions that there was once a Master Donglü, who was extremely rich but later became a poor adoist adept, saying that "During the six years I was counsellor, I never was able to promote a worthy." The descendants of the Xia dynasty were made Dukes of Donglou. Later on this became a surname. The Zhuangzi mentions a certain Dong Yeji. During the Han period there was Dongfang Shuo from Pingyuan. The Biography of Cao Man records a family He from Donglikun, magistrates of Nanyang. The [family register] Xingyuan knows the surname of Donglai. |
