WKC Posted August 8, 2015 at 01:09 AM Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 at 01:09 AM The normal voicing for the character 射 is shè. The character has a second voicing of yì. I would be grateful if someone tell me the meaning for the voicing yì. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKC Posted August 8, 2015 at 04:27 PM Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 at 04:27 PM dwq, Many thanks. It appears that 射 voicing yì also means 'to shoot'. Can anyone explain十二律 to me in English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwq Posted August 9, 2015 at 10:32 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 at 10:32 AM Vivian, 景王's 鐘 (closer to a bell than a clock) is named after the music tone; so its name is 无射, not just 射. WKC, The 百度百科 page isn't very clear where the explanations attach to, but I think 射 voicing yì is only used in the compound 无射, and only the voicing shè mean 'to shoot'.

zhou Posted August 12, 2015 at 09:55 AM Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 at 09:55 AM WKC I believe there are so many people do not know the 射 has a voicing of yì, me too. So, you just know a voicing of shè is enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofmann Posted August 12, 2015 at 11:38 AM Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 at 11:38 AM Can we call it pronunciation, please? Voicing is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhou Posted August 13, 2015 at 05:20 AM Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 at 05:20 AM I think you are right and we call "ˉ,ˊ,ˇ,ˋ" are "tones" that is correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messidor Posted September 22, 2015 at 11:39 AM Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 at 11:39 AM also there is a plant traditionally called 射干, which is pronounced as yè gān, and there's mountain in the book Zhuangzi (《庄子》) called 藐姑射(yè)之山, at least it's the accepted pronunciation of this fictional mountain. The title of officials in the government during Wei Jin to Song is 仆射(yè). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
