The source of the knock down the word is very ancient.

Cantonese saying: "Everyone is good, wearing a hat with a hats. Shavering long nose hair."

Threading and cutting trousers Cantonese speaking: "Fading shirt", "fading pants",

As the saying goes, there are words: "The road is down, and the feet are cramping."

In the book "Cantonese", there is "the boat meets the top wind, and the road of people's decline will fall out!"

Returning back, backward, retreat, Cantonese called "downfall fading".

How to read this word "fade"?

The fading "hips" means that the buttocks are backward.

"Cantonese": "The fading sounds swallowed the sound. After retreating, it is fading.

Filled TAN3: Spitting down, swallowing. Fack: Hidden inwardly. The road is down (mostly refers to the unstable or retreat of patients).

There are two pronunciations, TAN3 (third sound of swallowing); and reading Teoi3.

Fack, solve the unloading, flower, color reduction, and retreat. Original meaning: unload the clothes, retreat inward and hide inward: the hand fades in the sleeve.

There is also the meaning of back, escape: such as: "If you encounter something, you will fade back." According to the word "fading": vomiting, swallowing the clouds.

The two words "fading" and "downfall fading" are very old.

Yu Yuanqu and Qing Dynasty novels. "West Jia Ji" two books one fold [Na Zun order]: "I often see an outsider, chlorine is cautious, but see a guest, I am tired of fading."

"Yan'an House" [Six prefaces]: "I scolded me as shameful and faded down."

The word "fading" has appeared as early as the Han Dynasty. For example, Zhang Yan's "Jade Ring" in the Han Dynasty had a cloud: "The first springs of the bamboo shoots are double -slip, and the red marks are more printed."

However, Xu Shen's "Said the Words" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, even "Guang Yun" from the late to the Song Dynasty, did not include this "fade" word.

The earliest "fading" rhetoric was the "Ancient and Modern Rhymes" of the Yuan Dynasty. The pronunciation of the time was "soil" and the sound of "swallowing".

Since then, the "Kangxi Dictionary" in the Qing Dynasty, the "Chinese Dictionary" in the beginning of the Republic of China, the "Yueyin Yun Hui" of Huang Xiling in the 1940s, and the "Chinese Dictionary" of Qiao Yinong in the 1960s. The sound of "swallowing".

This pronunciation can often hear it in Cantonese, such as: "The road is knocked down." The word "fading" is all read like swallowing.

The "fading" of "fading" is indeed an inspiring sound in the ancient dictionary.

However, in the 1970s and 1980s, a variety of dictionaries had "faded" the "fading" and read the sound of "retreat".

Such as the "Chinese Dictionary" of the Chinese Book Company, Li Zhuomin's "Li's Chinese Dictionary", Rao Bingcai's "Guangzhou Sound Dictionary", Zhou Wuji's "Guangzhou Dialect Standard Vocabulary", and the latest "Chinese Dictionary".

It can be seen that the word "fading" from "fading" has changed from the original "swallowing sound" to the "retreat" sound of today, because this is the pronunciation of the vast majority of contemporary people, and it gets multiple parts of it. Affirmation of the dictionary, we really don't need to persist in the ancient sounds that are more and less read. (Text/Nie Juping)
