Zhuyin alphabet - Chuinjibo (English spelling) Zhù yīn zì mǔ
It is an alphabet, so to speak, that represents the pronunciation of Chinese. In 1912 (the first year of the Republic of China), the Ministry of Education (corresponding to the Ministry of Education in Japan) decided to adopt Zhuyin alphabets, which are characters that represent the sounds of Chinese characters. In 1913, the Reading and Sound Unification Council was established, and after each province voted once to decide on the reading of Chinese characters, the characters were decided and used as ruby ​​for Chinese characters. It was not until 1918 that the Ministry of Education published them. With the revision in 1920, the number of Zhuyin alphabets became 40. After Beijing pronunciation became the standard, the three characters Wan Yu Guang were used only for Fang pronunciation.

中国語の発音を表す,いわばアルファベット。1912年(民国1),教育部(日本の文部省に相当)は,注音字母すなわち漢字の音を示すための字母を採用することに決定。1913年,読音統一会が成立,漢字の読音を各省一票の投票で決定した後,字母を定め,これを漢字のルビとして使用することにした。教育部より公布されたのは18年になってからである。20年の改定によって,注音字母は40となった。北京音が標準とされてからは,そのうち万兀广の三つは方音に対してのみ用いられる。
