Description
Shanghai: Shang wu yin shu guan, 1933. Second edition, 12mo, pp. [2], iv, 8, xx, 286, 4, 76, [4]; original printed blue paper-covered boards rebacked in blue fabric, paper label on spine with manuscript titling; rubbed and worn, text toned, several leaves guarded; the binding is sound, the last leaf of text with tears but no loss; a good copy at best. At head of title; 敎育部公布 [Announced by the Ministry of Education]. Edited by the Preparatory Committee for the Unification of the Chinese Language of the Ministry of Education. This pronouncer uses two methods of spelling. The first, Gwoyeu Romatzyh, is a romanization system that embeds tonal information into the spelling itself. For example, Mha and Ma are first and second tone respectively. Although it was established as the official romanization system of the Chinese government, it was considered too complex for most prospective adopters and too focused on the Beijing accent. The second system, Zhuyin or Bopomofo, is a semisyllabary that is still in use largely in Taiwan as a pronunciation aid.
