{{italic title}}File:建é³è¿å¾·å å°ãçç¯ã pic.jpg|thumb|Ming dynastyMing dynastyFile:Yuanben Yupian v.27 Ishiyamadera.jpg|thumb|300px|Vol. 27 of the Yupian in Ishiyama-dera, ÅtsuÅtsuThe Yupian ({{zh|c=çç¯|p=YùpiÄn|w=Yü-p’ien}}; “Jade Chapters“) is a c. 543 Chinese dictionary edited by Gu Yewang ((:zh:顧éç|顧éç); Ku Yeh-wang; 519â581) during the Liang dynasty. It arranges 12,158 character entries under 542 radicals, which differ somewhat from the original 540 in the Shuowen Jiezi. Each character entry gives a fanqie pronunciation gloss and a definition, with occasional annotation.The Yupian is a significant work in the history of Written Chinese. It is the first major extant dictionary in the four centuries since the completion of Shuowen and records thousands of new characters that had been introduced into the language in the interim. It is also important for documenting nonstandard súzì ((wikt:ä¿å|ä¿å), “popular written forms of characters“), many of which were adopted in the 20th century as official simplified Chinese characters. For instance, the Yupian records that wà n (traditional (wikt:è¬|è¬), “ten thousand, myriad“) had a popular form of (simplified (wikt:ä¸|ä¸)), which is much easier to write with three strokes versus thirteen.{{sfn|Creamer|1992|p=116}}Baxter describes the textual history:

The original YùpiÄn was a large and unwieldy work of thirty juà n [“volumes; fascicles”], and during Táng and Sòng various abridgements and revisions of it were made, which often altered the original fÄnqiè spellings; of the original version only fragments remain (some two thousand entries out of a reported original total of 16,917), and the currently-available version of the YùpiÄn is not a reliable guide to Early Middle Chinese phonology.{{sfn|Baxter|1992|pp=40â41}}
In 760, during the Tang dynasty, Sun Jiang (å«å¼·; Sun Chiang) compiled a Yupian edition, which he noted had a total of 51,129 words, less than a third of the original 158,641. In 1013, Song dynasty scholar Chen Pengnian (é³å½å¹´; Ch’en P’eng-nien) published a revised Daguang yihui Yupian (大廣çæçç¯; “Expanded and enlarged Jade Chapters“). The Japanese monk KÅ«kai brought an original version Yupian back from China in 806, and modified it into his c. 830 Tenrei BanshÅ Meigi, which is the oldest extant Japanese dictionary.References
