onemilimeter Posted January 21, 2006 at 02:21 PM Report Posted January 21, 2006 at 02:21 PM How to read this character? Quote
Kong Junrui Posted January 21, 2006 at 10:34 PM Report Posted January 21, 2006 at 10:34 PM With your eyes, of course... But if you mean what the character means, I don't know. I tried looking in my dictionary for it, but found nothing. Then again, my dictionary is simplified so maybe it's traditional? I think that if you posted where you found it it might help. Quote
nipponman Posted January 21, 2006 at 10:55 PM Report Posted January 21, 2006 at 10:55 PM well, this character here: 娀 is as close as I have come and it is pronounced song1. It doesn't seem to have a meaning, that I can see anyway, so it is probably a family name. I have never seen it before, so if this is the character you are looking for then my advice is don't worry about it. Quote
Ole Posted January 21, 2006 at 11:49 PM Report Posted January 21, 2006 at 11:49 PM 娀 is as close as I have come and it is pronounced song1. It doesn't seem to have a meaning, "name of a concubine of Di Ku, father of the mythical Yao" Unihan hope you have fun with this explanation. Ole Quote
Yuchi Posted January 22, 2006 at 01:08 AM Report Posted January 22, 2006 at 01:08 AM Mythical yao as in Emperor Yao? Quote
Ole Posted January 22, 2006 at 10:22 AM Report Posted January 22, 2006 at 10:22 AM After consulting Source1 and Source2 there obviously is to be asked, whether Di Ku wasn´t rather the great grandson of Huang Di. 炎 黄 子 孙 黄帝轩辕氏，姬姓 . 炎帝列山氏，姜姓 . * 黄帝轩辕氏 Huangdi-Xuanyuan (bc2697?-bc2599?,计99年) * 少昊金天氏 Shaohan-Jintian (bc2598?-bc2515?,计84年) * 颛顼高阳氏 Zhuanxu-Gaoyang (bc2514?-bc2437?,计78年) * 帝喾高辛氏 Diku-Gaoxin (bc2436?-bc2367?,计70年) * 帝挚高辛氏 Dizhi-Gaoxin (bc2366?-bc2358?,计9年) * 唐尧 Tangyao (bc2357?-bc2258?,计100年) * 虞舜 Yushun (bc2257?-bc2208?,计50年) 帝嚳 Di Ku (Emperor Ku, r.2435-2365)Emperor Ku 高辛氏, also called 高辛 Gao Xin, was great grandson of the Yellow Emperor. The sources given for the three people here are Comprehensive Mirror (通鑑 Tong Jian6) and [古?]琴疏 Gu? Qin Shu. Shi Ji #1 (GSR I, p.5f) discusses Emperor Ku but not 鄒屠氏 Zoutu Shi or 晏龍 Yan Long. Quote
