This paper presents an analysis of the Fanqie Bottom Words specified in the “Bun-ei-ten” marked by the doctors in the Kiyoharas. The group of Yu･Liu in the Ancient Chinese 16 groups was compared with the Fanqie in the “Sou-han-pon”. The following conclusions were drawn. 1) Examining Fanqie Bottom Words of the group of Yu and Liu, except for regional reflections, phonetic connection is ongoing in the entire group of Yu and Liu, and it is an acceptable phonetic connection of chokuon and yod. 2) In mo rhyme and hou rhyme, because identical rhyme letters are used as Fanqie Bottom Words, in the group of Yu division 1 and the group of Liu division 1, phonetic connection with different rhyme has not yet taken place. 3) In hou rhyme m, mo rhyme letters were never used as Fanqie Bottom Words and in you rhyme m, only hou rhyme letters were used. According to this, it can be concluded that at least until the time of late Southern and Northern Dynasties, mo rhyme change of hou rhyme m either did not occur or rarely happened. 4) In division 3, medial-i and medial-ï were heavily used as Fanqie Bottom Words. This phenomenon should be understood as a character of division 3. Because of the initial characters carried by yu rhyme, phonetic connections among letters are highly likely to have existed, and phonological distinction is presumed to have been difficult since the earliest times.
