<< review queue entry 39925 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Wp ~ 紅豆（學名：Vigna angularis）是豆科植物，為常見的食材之一。亦被稱為小豆、赤豆。 近親有赤小豆，用途不同。赤小豆主要用於中藥材，常與紅豆混用，然而赤小豆藥效較佳。 ---- http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B4%85%E8%B1%86 The name azuki is a transliteration of the native Japanese name. Japanese also has a Chinese loanword, xiao zu (小豆), which means "small bean", its counterpart "large bean" (大豆 da zu) being the soybean. It is common to write 小豆 in kanji but pronounce it as azuki, an example of ateji. In China, the corresponding name (Chinese: 小豆; pinyin: xiǎodòu) is still used in botanical or agricultural parlance. However in everyday Chinese, the more common terms are hongdou (紅豆; hóngdòu) and chidou (赤豆; chìdòu), both meaning "red bean", because almost all Chinese cultivars are uniformly red. In English-language discussions of Chinese topics, the term "red bean" is often used (especially in reference to red bean paste), but in other contexts this usage can cause confusion with other beans that are also red. ---- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azuki_bean F ~ 小豆 xiǎodòu ☞ 赤小豆ｃｈìｘｉǎｏｄòｕ |
