Talk:蠱

Translation for 陶淵明 quote

@Richwarm88 Thanks for adding a translation for the quote. I'm just a bit unsure if it's totally correct. 事 in 有一家事蠱 seems to be a verb (maybe meaning "to make") with 蠱 as the object, so 人 would refer to others eating the family's food and getting poisoned. @Wyang, Dokurrat, Dine2016, any insights? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 08:28, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. I think you may well be closer to the mark than me in that regard. I was a bit out of my comfort zone attempting a translation of that kind of writing. But I do think that the Pinyin for 剡 is Shàn rather than Yǎn in this case. The following Wikipedia article says so: [1] Richwarm88 (talk) 09:30, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: I agree. I think 事 there is a verb; 人 there refers to "others"; 其 there refers to "一家". Dokurrat (talk) 13:58, 17 July 2019 (UTC) (modified)

@Richwarm88, Dokurrat: Alright, I've modified the page based on this. And yes, 剡 is definitely pronounced Shàn. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 01:15, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
