[edit] Tone in Fanqie

The correct rule of tone in fanqie should be "上字辨陰陽，下字辨平仄": The first character determines yin-yang, the second character determines ping-shang-qu-ru. -- Felix Wan 02:03, 2005 May 12 (UTC)

Yeah, but in Middle Chinese there was no yin-yang. Yin-yang arose after Middle Chinese according to the initial consonant, which is why there's such a rule today. -- ran (talk) 18:35, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
