Background[]

“ It's not like this song's writing and tuning was already complete as of last year, but the melody is from high school, pretty old haha
Throughout the past 7 to 8 years, I'd thought that I didn't have adequate arranging and tuning ability to make this, and it was suboptimal, but now I can do it.
This time I looked at a decent amount of works and papers on the ancient Chu dialect, and slightly modified Zhengzhang's reconstruction; for example, I broke the 文部 of /uːn/ into /uən/ and broke the 元部 of /oːn/ into /uan/; however, I didn't follow Zhao Tong (2006)'s reconstruction of the primary vowel in 鱼部 and 叶部 as /ɔ/; in terms of consonant clusters I support the viewpoint of Ye Yuying (2017) of the Xiamen University: “We believe that the time and region of the creation of variant phonosemantic characters are both very clear; as such, the phonological phenomena (where the Warring States Chu dialect has numerous consonant clusters) that variant phonosemantic characters reflect is reliable”, holding the view that the Chu dialect continued to preserve numerous consonant clusters until the Warring States era.”
