<< review queue entry 69514 - submitted by 'xyz' >> Data from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Lu_(painter) ------------------------------------- Editor: In principle, you can scrape *all* of the many thousands of names in Chinese Wikipedia (people, places, book titles etc) and their English equivalents, to derive a large C-E name dictionary. Pleco, for one, has stated that they are going to do that after their version 4 is released. I don't think it makes much sense for us to continue manually adding a tiny fraction of those names one by one (except for the most important and relevant proper names, such as Chinese province names.) |

<< review queue entry 69516 - submitted by 'xyz' >> See https://ctext.org/art-of-war/tactical-dispositions#n20931 for sample usage; not sure how common it is --------------------------------- Editor: 1) cc-cedict doesn't try to be useful to people reading ancient writings such as "The Art of War." 2) 故曰 doesn't mean "hence the saying". It means "hence people say ...". It's an archaic way of saying 所以说. For example, 烏龜又被稱為玄武，《禮記》曲禮解釋，龜有甲，能禦侮，故曰武，加上黑色，故曰玄，因此取名玄武。 <<The tortoise is also known as the "xuanwu," which means "black soldier." The Book of Rites explains that turtles and tortoises have armor-like exteriors (hence "soldier"), and they are dark in color (hence "black").>> 故曰武 doesn't mean "hence the saying 'soldier' " ("soldier" is not a saying), and 故曰玄 doesn't mean "hence the saying 'black' " ("black" is not a saying). I'm not saying the translation at the Chinese Text Project is wrong. It's fine in that context. I'm saying that, in general, you can't take words in a translation and expect them to work, out of context, as a *definition*. 3) In any case, cc-cedict says 故 means "hence", and 曰 means "to say". I think that makes the meaning of 故曰 clear enough. |

<< review queue entry 69517 - submitted by 'xyz' >> Missing pinyins --------------------------------- Editor: 1) 荀子 is also the name of a book: the Xunzi. 2) 勸學 is not a book; it's the title of a *chapter* of the Xunzi. Probably doesn't merit an entry. |

<< review queue entry 69515 - submitted by 'xyz' >> In line with the "子曰" entry, while likely much less common; see https://ctext.org/art-of-war Editor: 子曰 is fine, as it's very famous so to speak.. but users can surely put 孙子 + 曰 together. |

<< review queue entry 67449 - submitted by 'xyz' >> Most of those entries were found when analyzing character decomposition using Wikimedia data (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Chinese_characters_decomposition). ----------------------------- Editor: cc-cedict focuses more on - words and characters rather than character *components* - words that are currently in use rather than those that are obsolete or archaic In general, it's a good idea to submit *short* contributions, e.g. a single line like 𤴓 𤴓 [zhen2] /variant of 正 [zheng4]/right, correct/ to get some feedback before submitting a longer batch of contributions. |
