[quote=CHRISWAUGHBJ,37450]Well, May, obviously there is no connection between modern Cantonese and modern Xi'an. What I have been told, by people with far more expertise in the subject than me, including by one who has translated several Tang poems, is that the Chang'an dialect of the Tang Dynasty sounded more like modern Cantonese than modern Mandarin, therefore the rhymes work better when the poems are read in Cantonese. Anyway, that's what I've heard.[/quote]
