The
Guangyun (
Kuang-yun; ) is a
Chinese rime dictionary that was compiled from 1007 to 1008 under the auspices of
Emperor Zhenzong of Song. Chen Pengnian (, 961–1017) and Qiu Yong were the chief editors. It is a revision and expansion of the influential
Qieyun rime dictionary of 601, and was itself later revised as the
Jiyun. Until the discovery of an almost complete early 8th century edition of the
Qieyun in 1947, the
Guangyun was the most accurate available account of the
Qieyun phonology, and was heavily used in early work on the reconstruction of
Middle Chinese. It is still used as a major source.
