The 'Yunhai jingyuan' (Mirror Source of the Ocean of Rhymes) is a Tang dynasty rhyming encyclopedia by Yan Zhenqing that is almost entirely lost, surviving only in fragmentary Dunhuang manuscripts (e.g., Pelliot chinois 2016). While these fragments are discussed in linguistic scholarship, no published English translation of the text itself exists in any major catalog or scholarly database.
