Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The story of Chinese lexicography, and indeed of China itself, from the years 600 to 1700 begins and ends in a period of unification. The short-lived Sui dynasty (605–18) unified the Chinese empire after centuries of division. In the wake of a new imperially sponsored examination system came dictionaries aimed at creating a unified standard for exam usage. By the early eighteenth century, the Manchu Qīng dynasty had eliminated most of the vestiges of rebellion from the previous dynasty and was set on expanding its territory. Part of its imperial project was linguistic, as the new multilingual empire staked its claim as an authority on Chinese, among other languages. During this period of more than a thousand years, states and dynasties came and went, and the territory claimed as China fluctuated drastically. A cultural identity, however, came to be maintained, in large part on the basis of a textual tradition. The centrality of texts and language for participating in this culture is reflected in turn by the important place lexicography occupied in the world of Chinese scholarship.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
