Yiqiejingyinyi by Hui Lin is a book about pronunciation and meaning of sutra during the later period of the middle of the Tang Dynasty(Huilin Yinyi is called to short at the following passage). Though it has academic value in many aspects, the study about this book started from the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it was used mainly as a reference to emend other books. Later Huang Cuibo did some research about this book. However, his work was limited by his time and condition, so it has so many other topics of the book to study, such as relationship among the rhymes and deng (等), the initial of the cong (從) and xie (邪), edc, from different angles and with new methods. The study of Xu Shiyi and Yao Yongming mostly focused on the meaning of the words and explanation of the sentences. This paper tried to study the pronunciation of book that is generally omitted in other studies.This study has the following characteristics:1. Using the computer to create a database. Huilin Yinyi collected 1300 sutras with over 5700 chapters, which included over 330 sutras with over 2200 chapters written by Xuan Ying and HuiYuan. This paper didn't study the meaning and pronunciation of Sanskrit words, zhenyan(真 言), words that borrow sounds. It only recorded and studied fanqie(反切) and zhiyin(直音) of the Chinese characters in the book. After deleting Sanskrit words, zhenyan(真言), words that borrow sounds and from Xuan Ying, 21613 fanqie(反切) and 2697 zhiyin(直音) (totally 24310) words were collected into the database for xilian((?)联), comparison, conclusion and inquiry. The comprehensiveness and accuracy of this study was much better than the previous studies through traditional method with paper cards.2. The second step of the study was to write a computer program to compare fanqie(反切). The data in the database of Huilin Yinyi were compared with those in the database of Guangyun(广 韻), whose sound system was used as a reference. When comparing the pronunciation of the words, we paid special attention to the phenomenon of their second way of pronunciation and used Jiyun(集韻) and Huilin Yinyi as our references when it was necessary.3. Inductive logic organon was used in the connection analysis. It may be difficult for some of the rarely used words to get connected with others when using traditional methods. As a matter of fact, those words may have some of the attributes of all the objects of this kind of things when there is no counterexample. As a result, when connecting fanqie(反切) of Huilin Yinyi using inductive logic organon, if the attributes of two words that cannot be connected to any other words are the same, we concluded that those two words are actually the same kind although they are not connected.
