漢語定義:1)房屋的正室廳堂。2)稱謂。對父母的敬稱。3)複姓。《重編國語辭典》
Editor : altgough 正室 does mean "first wife", in this def it's a construct meaning "central building" as opposed to "lateral buildings" (側室) which in turn can mean "concubine" !
I had never met that word but the grammatical construction dictates the meaning.
Diff:
# 高堂 高堂 [gao1 tang2] /an honorific used for one's father/the hall of the first wife/
+ 高堂 高堂 [gao1 tang2] /main hall/honorific for one's parents (old)/
