Fanqie
''
Fanqie'' () is a method in traditional
Chinese lexicography to indicate the pronunciation of a monosyllabic
character by using two other characters, one with the same initial consonant as the desired syllable and one with the same rest of the syllable (the final).
The method was introduced in the 3rd century AD and is to some extent still used in commentaries on the
classics and dictionaries.
