Of course both "gau5" and "khiang3" have a broader meaning that "chong1 beng5".

How much was it, and is it one volume?</div></blockquote>I got both my copies from one of the Popular Bookstores in Penang. It is a single-volume hardcover with slightly under 1,600 pages. The cover is black, with the title printed in gold-colour. The publisher is 祥瑞文化公司. The other 100% identical copy I have is published by 泉源出版社. I cannot recall the exact price, but if I remember correctly, it was in the RM50-60 region. I bought them along with a whole bunch of Chinese Classics, all black hardcovers with gold-coloured titles. All of them are Taiwan-published.<br><br>Hong - I notice that most of the common words in Kangxi quote directly from 說文解字. Is it correct to assume that whatever is in 說文解字 would be in Kangxi? I read somewhere that 說文解字 was compiled about 1,000-plus years before Kangxi, and only had about 9,000 characters. I saw it in a bookstore and was tempted to get a copy.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=418">Mark Yong</a> — Fri May 20, 2005 3:38 pm</p><hr /> ]]></content> </entry> <entry> <author><name><![CDATA[Anonymous]]></name></author> <updated>2005-05-20T09:51:14+00:00</updated> <published>2005-05-20T09:51:14+00:00</published> <id>http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=14669#p14669</id> <link href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=14669#p14669"/> <title type="html"><![CDATA[Batu Gantong's Baba Malay translations of Chinese classics]]></title> <content type="html" xml:base="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=14669#p14669"><![CDATA[ For me it is purely you want to use this guhanyu word to become more hokkien-like but not in the sence of academic or wider use.I never use 聰明。<br>I have relatives who think like you about this word,it is too true。<p>Statistics: Posted by Guest — Fri May 20, 2005 9:51 am</p><hr /> ]]></content> </entry> <entry> <author><name><![CDATA[Anonymous]]></name></author> <updated>2005-05-20T07:44:43+00:00</updated> <published>2005-05-20T07:44:43+00:00</published> <id>http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=14665#p14665</id> <link href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=14665#p14665"/> <title type="html"><![CDATA[Batu Gantong's Baba Malay translations of Chinese classics]]></title> <content type="html" xml:base="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=14665#p14665"><![CDATA[ <blockquote class="uncited"><div>...For example, very clever " 很 聪 明 ", you may say "cin1 gau5", from three syllables to two.</div></blockquote>Hi Casey <img class="smilies" src="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title="Very Happy"> , I understand your point above, yet 聪明 can (though may not always) be directly translated as chang1-mia*5, right?
