Summary
This chapter will treat the lexicographies of eastern Inner Asia, Japan, and Korea that were directly influenced by the Chinese tradition. The first section will begin by discussing lexicography in the Inner Asian empires in the early second millennium AD, with a focus on the lexicography of the Tangut and Mongols in North China; and will then turn to the lexicography of Inner Asian languages in the Chinese Míng empire that succeeded the period of Inner Asian political dominance in North China; and finally to the lexicography of Manchu and Mongolian in the Inner Asian Qīng empire, which conquered the Míng and ruled from Beijing. The remaining two sections of the chapter will treat lexicography in Japan and Korea.
