"Tingzhao"·Xia Song
The sun and moon are shining brightly in the palace clothes, and the shadow of the flag in the inkstone moves the dragon and snake.
There are three thousand words about rituals and music, and the sun is not setting on Danqi alone.
The pronunciation of snake: sha
The modern pronunciation is just because the final (abbreviated rhyme) a evolved into e. Therefore, these words only need to restore the final (abbreviated rhyme) e to a. You can pronounce the ancient pronunciation: "车" [chā], "snake", "luxury", "credit" and "she" are pronounced [shá], "bias" and "xie" are pronounced [xiá]
For example, "The stone path of the Hanshan Mountain is inclined" is pronounced as "xia", not "xie",
The word "Xie" in ancient poetry does not only have the sound of "xia", "Ancient Chinese Dictionary" No. 1731 There are examples on the page, such as Du Mu's poem "Old Tour of Huaizhong Mausoleum" "The shadow of the west mountain is falling more and more, and the scenery of Hongqiao is the same after a thousand steps";
Zhang Zhihe's poem "Yu Gezi" "Qing Ruo Li, green coir raincoat, slanting wind and drizzle do not need to return. The word "Xie" in "Xie" is pronounced as "xie".
Therefore, to determine whether the word "Xie" in ancient poetry is pronounced "xie" or "xia", you should read it in conjunction with the entire poem or word to see if there are any rhyme issues involved.
If rhyme is involved, it is generally pronounced as "xia"; if rhyme is not involved, it is generally pronounced as "xie".
When learning ancient poetry, should I learn the so-called standard pronunciation of Chinese characters, or should I learn the beauty of music?
