Most of the inscriptions on vernacular tablets of the Yuan Dynasty are translated from official official documents in Mongolian of the Yuan Dynasty, which are valuable original historical materials. The value of the vernacular monuments of the Yuan Dynasty can be explained from two aspects: linguistics and history. The first is the linguistic value. Most of the official documents of the Yuan Dynasty were first written in Mongolian and then translated into vernacular Chinese. Although this kind of vernacular is not completely consistent with the actual Chinese at that time due to limitations in translation level, it still reflects the spoken vernacular situation of the Yuan Dynasty to a certain extent and has become a good material for studying the history of Chinese in the Yuan Dynasty. This book is a relevant compilation of such information.
Reader comments
This book is very valuable! It collects inscriptions on vernacular tablets of the Yuan Dynasty, which are good materials for studying the history and linguistics of the Yuan Dynasty. Just like the book says, "Good or bad, God Qiu will just take care of it. Only you know it." We can understand the language and culture of that time through these inscriptions. I think this book is a good choice for history buffs.
