WHITE BAI
#hanzi #kanji #asianlanguages
White is on my mind due to the recent and rare snowstorms in Australia.
Hence the color gradient on the outline of bai.
Did you know white as shiro or shira is the most frequently used adjective in the famous 100 poets Japanese Anthology of Heian waka usually as a reference to snow or frost?

The FAN
 |
| Copyright Julie Vaux 2012 The only references I could find to Sinovietnamese or Vietnamese suggest the word is phien or thien but didnt state whether the word is used for folding or flat round fans. Folding fans were actually developed by the Japanese and didn't become popular in China unti the Ming Dynasty. |
In Modern Chinese a flat non folding fan is a ping shan and folding fans are zhe shan .

Royal wives and concubines - FEI
Fei is a word often translated as Princess but bear in mind it refers to someone who is bound in a relationship to another aristocrat. I rather suspect the radical tang form started with an aspirate p or it was something like that sound in Fuji that occassionally gets transliterated as a H so you see Huzi instead of Fuji in some texts.
