The rules for tonal contrast in new-style poetry were developed and perfected over the fifth and sixth centuries, once the Chinese became aware of the tonal nature of their language through contrast with Sanskrit and Prakrit prosody.
“The rules for tonal contrast in new-style poetry ( 近體詩 ) were developed and perfected over the course of the fifth and sixth centuries, once the Chinese had become aware of the tonal nature of their own language through contrast with the prosody and chanting practices of Sanskrit and Prakrit, where prosody is based on the patterning of long and short vowels. See Mair and Mei 1991.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
