Huang Anjing, editor-in-chief of Chewing Words, told reporters that the pronunciation of "six" in "Lu 'an" was not controversial in the past. Various dictionaries also pronounce Lu as the "six" of "Lu 'an". The fifth edition of Modern Chinese Dictionary published in 2005 did not accept the place name "Lu 'an" and deleted the sound "Lu" under the prefix "Liu".

Since then, the sixth edition published on 20 12 and the seventh edition published on 20 16 have not included the word "Lu' an". Some scholars believe that the pronunciation of "Liu" has disappeared in Putonghua according to the law of sound changes in ancient and modern times, so the new edition of Modern Chinese Dictionary no longer accepts this sound.

Huang Anjing believes that the pronunciation of Lù does not exist in the Putonghua phonetic system, and how to pronounce the "six" of "Lu 'an" depends on whether the pronunciation of place names should be read according to the pronunciation of Putonghua. If the answer is yes, then many place names included in Modern Chinese Dictionary should be re-phonetic.

"In fact, senior scholars have noticed this problem for a long time and put forward the principle of" following the Lord ",especially the pronunciation of place names and surnames, and respecting the habits of' locals' or' parties'. In other words, these dialects have been absorbed into the phonetic system of Mandarin.

Speaking of the pronunciation of the place name' Lu 'an', the local people advocate reading Lù because it is closest to the local dialect. This is also the reason why all dictionaries before the fifth edition of Modern Chinese Dictionary note the "six" of "Lu 'an" as the "road" sound. "Huang Anjing said.

20 16 "from the pronunciation of Lu' an" was published in the sixth issue of Chewing Words, which has certain reference value for clarifying the pronunciation of Lu' an.
