2. Stingray. The word has three pronunciations. (1) The Zhonghua Bookstore's Phonetic Version of the Shuowen Jiezi only marks a pronunciation biāo. The explanation given was: "Huang Huaye of Amaranth." ...... The end of the day also. We will talk about the word "苕" later, which generally refers to Ling Xiaohua. Erya. In the Shi Cao, it is said: "Amaranth, Lingyuan." Yellow flowers, yellow flowers, white flowers, cocoons. That is to say, 苕 refers to LingXiao, the one who blooms yellow flowers is called 蔈, and the one who blooms white flowers is called 茇. Then, "Huanghua of Amaranth" refers to the Lingxiao flower that blooms yellow flowers, focusing on yellow flowers, as shown in the picture:
(Yellow Lingxiao flower)
When reading this sound, the word has other meanings: 1. In the Shi Cao, it is said: "蔈, 荂, 荼" Xing Yu said sparsely: "Zheng Zhu 'Zhou Li' 'Palm 荼' and "Poems" 'There are women like 荼', all clouds: '荼, Mao Xiuye.' '蔈也, 荂也, its alias. It is also said that the stingray also refers to the flower spikes of white grass. Looks like this:
(White grass flower)
2. "Huainanzi. There is "Rong Hua Sheng Huang, Huang Sheng Ping Algae." Wang Niansun said in "Reading Magazine": "Duckweed in the water, Jiangdong is called a grass, then the grass is ping, and it is not allowed to say that the duckweed in the water is the grass."

3. English. This word is a commonly used high-frequency word, but this word has a second pronunciation in addition to the common pronunciation. (1) Zhonghua Bookstore's Phonetic Version of the Shuowen Jiezi only marks a pronunciation of yīng, and the explanation given is: "Those who are not truthful." Huang Ying. "Two meanings, we say separately:
One meaning is "flower" in The Yah. The Shi Cao says, "He who is not truthful is called Ying." "The Book of Verses. ZHENG Feng. There are female companions: "There are female companions, Yan Rushunying." Mao Chuan explained: "Ying Yu Hua Ye" Here Ying is actually the meaning of "flower", and Shun refers to the hibiscus, which means that the woman's appearance is as beautiful as the hibiscus flower. Hibiscus is also truly beautiful, as shown in the picture:
(Hibiscus flower)
Another meaning is that Duan Yujie's "Commentary on the Interpretation of The Text" says, "This is also a meaning." Suspicion is the right, Huanghua" That is to say, this other meaning refers to the yellow flower wood, the yellow flower wood is also known as: mountain lettuce bean. Shrub, one to three meters tall, cylindrical stem, glabrous, greenish-grey skin, soft hairs at the small branches, as shown in the picture:
(Yellow Flower)
Of course, this meaning is "doubtful".
When the English character is pronounced in this sound, in addition to the meaning given by the "Shuowen", there are several meanings: (1) beautiful. Guangya. In the Interpretation I, it is said, "England, beauty." ";(2) Talent is outstanding. Mencius. "Dedication to the Heart" said: "To get the world's talents and educate them, sanle also." ";(3) Outstanding figures. For example, we say that a group of excellent people gathered called "QunyingHui" ;(4) the essence and the most quintessential part of things; (5) the ornaments on the spear; (6) the ornaments on the leather coat; (7) the ornaments on the leather coat; (8) the two mountains overlap; (9) tong "Ying", which means the luster of jade; Zhu Junsheng's "Saying Wen Tong Xun Dingsheng" said: "Ying, pretending to be Ying" (10) Ying is still an ancient country name, (11) Ying is also the name of an ancient music. "Lü Shi Chunqiu. In the Ancient Music, it is said: "Shun is destined to cultivate the Nine Moves, The Six Columns, and the Six Yings, with the Ming Emperor De. Gao Luanzuo said: "Moves", "Columns", and "Ying" are all happy names. (12) In addition, Ying is also a surname, such as Yingbu in the Han Dynasty.
(b) The second pronunciation of the English character is pronounced yāng. The word "seedling" originally referred to ungrafted rice seedlings, and later to all nascent seedlings.
The word English, so many of the above meanings, most of the meaning is positive, beautiful, upward, so many people put the English word in the name to use, although, this word is too ordinary, and even some people who do not have rich knowledge of ancient characters think that it is a bit rustic. In fact, this is a very "elegant" word

4. Ferns. Pronounced ěr. The explanation given by the "Explanation of Words" is: "Huasheng. In the Poems there is "Pissan Wei Ho." "The Sayings quote the Book of Poetry. Lesser. The sentence "Pi Wei Wei He, Wei Chang Zhi Hua", Mao passed on the explanation that "Hua Sheng" means flowers blooming.

Li Shanzuo's note said: "Zhuangzi said: "I am tired and do not know where to go." The small seal of Xue is written as shown in the following figure:

5. 萋. Read qī. The explanation given by the Shuowen Jiezi is: "Gong Sheng. From the wife's voice. The Verse says: '菶菶萋萋. As can be seen from the Shuowen, this word is first of all composed of the overlapping words "萋萋", the Book of Poetry. Lesser. Out of the car" has: "Spring is late, Hui Mu Is not long." It refers to "the appearance of (the grass and trees) flourishing." For example, when we read Tang poems, there is Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" with "Qingchuan Calendar Hanyang Tree, Yerba Buena Parrot Island." That's what it means. In addition, The Book of Poetry is also known as "miserable", the Book of Poetry. Lesser.

6. 菶. Read běng. The explanation given by the Shuowen Jiezi is: "Gong Sheng. Like the word 萋 above, this word also forms a semantic meaning of the overlapping word "菶菶", which has three meanings: (1) The appearance of grass and trees. Guangya. In the Shimon, it is said: "Shigeru, Shigeya." Wang Niansun's "Guangya ShuZhi" explains: "This is the prosperity of grass and trees. "Poetry. Daya. Volume A: "菶菶萋萋." Zhu Xi's explanation is "菶菶, 萋萋, Wu Tong Sheng Zhi Sheng Ye." "The meaning is similar. (2) Multi-real. Jade. The explanation of 菶 is slightly different, saying: "菶, 菶菶, Tashiya." "There are many fruits of finger bearings. (3) In the five dynasties, Xu Kai's interpretation was different, and he said in the "Biography of the Shuowen Family": "It is scattered and scattered." The reason is that the Tang Dynasty Zhang Yuanyi wrote a poem "Mockery Again": "Wrapping the head is extremely grassy, skimming the whiskers is not sloppy" Obviously, there is a reason for doing scattered talk. The meaning is very clear, and it is no longer shown on the picture.
The small seal of 菶 is written as shown in the figure:
(Small seal writing)
We see, Chinese characters are difficult to learn, and another important reason is because China's history is long enough, and civilization has never been broken in the process of development, for a word, different sages often have different interpretations and views (of course, with the development of history, there will be a lot of new views and explanations, and now there is a set of Books written by Japanese people refuting "Explanation of Words and Characters", which are also sold on the Internet), and they are increasing in turn, often someone reads someone's explanation, they have preconceived notions, and different views can no longer be listened to. Or the learning method we said in the previous course: "Do not hide yourself from others, do not hide from others", and strive to achieve the ancient teacher without mud in the ancient, respect the teacher rather than the teacher. It's not easy.
