Ping Shui Yun & Ci Lin Zheng Yun Classical Chinese Poetry Rhyme Index

Look up any Chinese character or phrase in the Ping Shui Yun (平水韵, 106 rhyme groups, Song dynasty) and Ci Lin Zheng Yun (词林正韵, 19 parts, Qing dynasty) rhyme books: tone class (平/上/去/入), pingze (平/仄) pattern, and cross-system mapping. Reverse lookup lists every character of a rhyme group and checks whether a set of characters can rhyme together, with canonical poem rhyme-foot examples from Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, Li Qingzhao and Yue Fei.
