Characters with the same or similar pronunciation Sample Clauses

Characters with the same or similar pronunciation. It seems that before the Three Kingdoms period, characters with the same pronunciation were used to replace taboo characters. Even in the Book of the Han (Xxxxxx) there is recorded a case that the Emperor Xxxx Xxxx (r. 9 – 23 AD), mentioned above (see 3.2), ordered a change of characters from xin 新 to xin 心 and later to xxx 信 because of his dynastic name Xxx 新. In the next centuries this way of tabooing was less often used because homonyms were tabooed, too. But there are, in any case, isolated examples of such a method, as for example in Forest of Learning (Xuelin 學林), where we read that the character xx 戊 was changed to xx 武 because it was a part of the character xxx 茂 in the taboo name of the grandfather (Xxxxxx 茂琳) of the Emperor Xxxxx (r. 907–912) from the Later Liang dynasty.49 More popular are instances where characters with a pronunciation similar (but not identical) to that of the taboo character were used to replace it. Such a method was used even during the Tang and Song dynasties, when the avoidance of homonyms reached its peak. Among the substitute characters for the taboo name of the Emperor Xxxxx of Song (r. 960–976) – Xxxxx 匡– there are, for example, the characters xxxxx 光 and xxxx 康, which have a similar pronunciation to xxxxx.50 Also during the period of the Taiping rebellion characters with similar sounds were used for tabooing. We know, for example, that in order to taboo the name of Xxxxxx/Jehowah (Xxxxxxx/Yehuohua 耶和華/爺火華) the Taipings changed the character xxx 華 to xxx 花 (these two characters have a different tone), e.g., huaren 華人 to huaren 花人 (see 10.3.1). 48 Cf. Banxing lishu, pp. 195-200. Xxxx Xxxx 2002, p. 268. 49 Xxxxxx, x. 3, p. 70. 50 Notice that there is impossible to reconstruct the exact pronunciation of that time.
