In ancient times, blood was pronounced as a sound, but now it is divided into two pronunciations: xuè and xiě, and xuè is mostly used in written language. Xic is mostly used in spoken language and often used alone.
No matter which sound is pronounced, "blood" refers to the red liquid flowing in people's hearts and blood vessels. Their pronunciation difference is only the difference between literature reading and white reading caused by habit. Reading Xu è is the result of the evolution of entering tone words; Xiě is the pronunciation gradually formed by Beijingers in spoken English.
