How to pronounce the word "A Fang"?

Traditionally, the pronunciation of Epang Palace is [拵拵 g 拵], but it is controversial. The phonetic notation "páng gáng" in the history textbook of China in the seventh grade of People's Education Press.

1. One view is that reading

Hao Mingjian, editor-in-chief of Conversation at Afanggong Site (65,438+00), thinks it's time to read páng gūng. Hao Mingjian thinks that "A" refers to the winding place at the foot of the ancient mountain, and there is no objection to reading "A". And "room" is "side", so it's time to read páng. Zhi-Ran Song, director of the Institute of Immigrant Culture of Sichuan Normal University and a professor of exegetics, said: "The word' Fang' in Epang Palace is a common word. Next to it, you should read' Pá ng'." Professor Wang of Sichuan Normal University said: "Epang Palace refers to the palace beside the mountain, where the house sound is pronounced by the ancient sound of the house. This unique usage can't be pronounced by ordinary words. "

2. The second view is that we should read [fáng gōng].

Jason, a professor at Liaoning University and director of the Institute of Qing History, and Du Yongdao, deputy editor-in-chief of China Language Publishing House, think that it should be pronounced as "saying nothing". Li Xingjian's Dictionary of Modern Chinese Standards (1 edition, 2004) also holds this view.

3. The third view is that we should read [[ā fáng gōng].

Professor Liu Qingzhu, a member of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the word "a" (ā) is defined as "that" and "Fang" is one of Shaanxi dialects.

A place name, according to Historical Records, Epang Palace was not named when it was first built. The so-called Epang Palace is just a reference (replacing concrete things with abstract concepts), which refers to "the palace in that place in the room", so its pronunciation should be (ā fá ng g not ng).
