name	Verify Rhyme Integrity in Modern Mandarin Finals
description	Check that all 4 rhyme characters (lines 2, 4, 6, 8) belong to the same modern Mandarin rhyme family by comparing their finals and tone patterns. Use Xinhua Dictionary or online Mandarin phonetic tool to confirm final identity (e.g., -ing, -ang, -ong) and ensure all 4 characters have identical tone classification (all 平, or all 仄) in the rhyme position.

Process

1. Extract the 4 rhyme characters from your completed poem:

   • Rhyme 1 (Line 2): [character]
   • Rhyme 2 (Line 4): [character]
   • Rhyme 3 (Line 6): [character]
   • Rhyme 4 (Line 8): [character]

2. Look up each character's full pinyin in reference source:

   • Character | Pinyin | Final | Tone Number | 平/仄

3. Compare finals:

   • Final of Rhyme 1: -ing
   • Final of Rhyme 2: -ing
   • Final of Rhyme 3: -ing
   • Final of Rhyme 4: -ing
   • All match? ✓ YES / ✗ NO

4. Compare tone classifications:

   • Tone classification of Rhyme 1: 平 (1st or 2nd tone)
   • Tone classification of Rhyme 2: 平
   • Tone classification of Rhyme 3: 平
   • Tone classification of Rhyme 4: 平
   • All match? ✓ YES / ✗ NO

5. If any mismatch found: Return to the Anchor Phase and replace the mismatched rhyme character with one sharing the correct final and tone.

6. Only after all 4 rhymes verify as matching: Proceed to final output.
