Su, Gu in Mandarin, Ao in Cantonese and Gou in Cantonese. But the word "persuade" is pronounced "loyal chrysanthemum".
"Advice" is pronounced as "loyal chrysanthemum" by mainland residents, people from Taiwan Province Province and Cantonese in Hong Kong. The word first appeared in The Analects of Confucius? Yan Yuan: "Zi Gong asked his friend, and Confucius said," Give advice and do a good job. If you can't stop, don't bring disgrace to oneself. This passage is about Zi Gong asking Confucius how to make friends. Confucius said that if a friend is wrong, he should be sincerely persuaded and correctly induced; If he doesn't listen, forget it, lest he bring shame on himself.
Why does the word "suggestion" have a specific pronunciation?
It turns out that Cantonese pronunciation (especially pronunciation) is closely related to the ancient Central Plains pronunciation, and many modern Cantonese pronunciations still follow the medieval tradition. During the Six Dynasties (about 1400 years ago), due to the influence of foreign invasion and social unrest, the pronunciation was chaotic. Lu Deming, a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, considered the pronunciations of various schools, compiled a classic interpretation, and marked all the words that might be misunderstood in ancient important books with its pronunciations. The word "persuade" is pronounced as "loyal chrysanthemum" and read it according to his notes. However, is it a mistake to interpret "advice" as "loyalty" according to mainland standards?
Words, regardless of form, sound and meaning, are constantly changing with the times. Although "advice" has two pronunciations, it will not be misunderstood because of the different pronunciations; So when you use it, you can make different pronunciations according to different environments. General conversation, can not rely on ancient sounds; During academic discussions, you can read according to ancient sounds. I found it on Google.
