Tenrei Banshō Meigi
Tenrei Banshō Meigi - brief summary
The Tenrei banshō meigi or Tenrei banshō myōgi (篆隷萬象名義, \"The myriad things [of the universe], pronounced, defined, in seal script and clerical script\") is the oldest extant Japanese dictionary of Chinese characters. The title is also written 篆隷万象名義 with the modern graphic variant ban (万 \"10,000; myriad\") for ban (萬 \"10,000; myriad\"). In modern terms, this dictionary gives borrowed on'yomi \"Sino-Japanese readings\" but not native kun'yomi \"Japanese readings\". A later Heian dictionary, the (898-901 CE) Shinsen Jikyō was the first to include Japanese readings.
