Prescribed?
What do you mean when you say xiàngqīn prescribed? Isn't it just considered literary? Cross-Strait says the standard reading in Mainland is xiāngqīn. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 05:21, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Surely he means proscribed? ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 06:00, 30 September 2016 (UTC)


 * There is a missing sense of prescribe: "state authoritatively or as a rule that (an action or procedure) should be carried out", as in prescriptive. It is supposed to mean that some in Mainland China consider the reading xiàng as proper: . I guess it may not be the right term. Wyang (talk) 08:27, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
