| Summary: |
This paper outlines the pitfalls of the current anachronistic practice of transcribing early Chinese documents by identifying each character with a kǎishū 楷書 equivalent. In its place, I suggest a way of transliterating characters directly, by rendering into roman letters the phonetic and semantic information encoded by a character. (This article is in English.) |
