Talk:Mao Dun

message: I find it a bit hard to classify the information into the three catagories. Sometimes he worked as an editor or writer, but he did worked to promote his political idea. So how should we put these data?

message: I'm pretty positive it's pronounced Shen in standard Mandarin. His mother's surname is indeed Chen.
:I don't know who put in his name originally.  I agree with you that Chen is a mispronunciation.  The Chinese word 沉 (sinking) is pronounced as Chen2, it is often written in a variation that is the same as the surname 沈.  The surname is pronounced as shen3.  Since the "sinking" chen variation and the "surname" shen are written the same way, some people may have mixed up their different pronunciations.  Cantonese also pronounce this character two different way depending on meaning.  When it is sinking, it is Chum, when it is surname, it is Shum.  The variations is consistent with Mandarin.

replies: text: That's true. I forgot it's a variation of Chen2 (sinking) because simplified Chinese has reduced a great number of variant forms of Chinese characters. However, Shen3 is not a rare family name at all (in Wikipedia we have entries Shen Kuo and Shen Congwen). I suggest we change it to Shen as all the other pinyin spellings are in standard Mandarin. And, Chen2 really sounds awkward to me. --Liuyao 07:01, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
