Diachronic and synchronic comparisons of graphic details show that none of the well-recognized regional varieties developed independently from one another. Furthermore, differences in graphic components can be accounted for as alternations of graphs that are compatible in their semantic or phonetic values. The phonological systems underlying various regional orthographies unanimously point to a single coherent sound system with some mixture of dialect pronunciations. This strongly suggests that all the late pre-imperial regional scripts derived from a kind of orthographic meta-system based on one spoken standard language. This orthography and its phonological systems should reasonably be dated to ca. 9th century BCE, just about the time when the earliest known Chinese lexicography "Book of Scribe Zhou" (ca. 830 BCE) was written. The conclusions of this book have further implications on reading and understanding manuscript texts in general as well as on using them as data for linguistic studies. 410 0$aStudies in manuscript cultures ;$vv. 4. 606 $aChinese language$vWriting$xHistory$yTo 221 B.C 606 $aChinese language$yTo 600$xPhonology 606 $aChinese characters$xHistory 606 $aManuscripts$zChina 607 $aChina$xHistory$yWarring States, 403-221 B.C 610 $aPre-imperial China. 610 $abamboo manuscripts. 610 $aorthography. 610 $awriting culture. 615 0$aChinese language$xHistory 615 0$aChinese language$xPhonology. 615 0$aChinese characters$xHistory. 615 0$aManuscripts 676 $a495.11109014 700 $aPark$b Haeree$0938903 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910160768603321 996 $aThe writing system of scribe Zhou$92116465 997 $aUNINA
