Rime book



         


A rime dictionary or a rime book is a type of Chinese dictionary that was used in ancient times. Rime dictionaries are called thus because they contained rime tables, which were tables listing characters by their phonological properties. Rime dictionaries differed from rime tables, however, in that they also functioned as dictionaries, and gave other information about the character itself.
