In Archaic Chinese, there is an unsolved largest research project whether YIN SHENG ZI has Consonant Ending or not. This is a problem. i.e. how to explain and reconstruct the YIN SHENG ZI Consonant Ending that is phonetic radical or rhyme with Archaic Chinese Abrupt Tone. Li Fang Gui(李方桂), Dong Tong He(董同) and Westen scholars advocate that these YIN SHENGS Consonant Endings are reconstructed by [*-b][*-d][*-g] but the scholars like Wang Li(王力) and Chen Xin Xiong(陳新雄) advocate that these are reconstructed by open syllable which is similar with Ancient Chinese . The report mainly used the data that is 『SAM KUK SA KI(三國史記)』Archaic Sino-Korean to prove the doctrine of so-called “Archaic Chinese YIN SHENG ZI has Consonant Ending”. For example , in the 『SAM KUK SA KI』,“買、彌、米、勿、馬”etc. these [*-d] YIN SHENGS Consonant Endings are corresponding with Archaic Korean [mr]; “泗、非、西、器、、彗”etc. [*-d] YIN SHENGS Consonant Endings are corresponding with Archaic Korean’s [-t][-l][-rV]etc. These phenomena are very obvious. From the above, we can argue that is [*-d>-r], and these phenomena become a decisive effect to the doctrine that Archaic Chinese YIN SHENGS ZI was Consonant Ending .
