[edit]- ^ Trịnh Khắc Mạnh (2019 July 7) “A sketch of Chinese character variants in Vietnam: With a focus on the variants of ‘Buddha’”, in SageJournals[1], page 201:
- In the document, 甶 is printed clearly and phoneticised as ‘Phật’ 甶 (甶音𫢋). It consists of the upper part of the character ‘鬼’ (ghost). That is why it is often called ‘the character Buddha with a ghost head’ (Vietnamese: chữ Phật đầu quỷ) in Vietnam. This word was popularly used in Buddhist and Taoist worship books. There are two explanations for the composition of this variant character. According to the first explanation, it is formed from the word ‘鬼’ (ghost) without legs (the lower part); it is an indicative character (指事字), implying that those who lead a Buddhist life will be enlightened and become Buddha, if they have got rid of the ghost part. The second explanation presumes that 甶 consists of ‘丿’ (Vn. phiệt, left-falling stroke, or the radical variant of ‘撇’) and ‘田’ (Ch. tian; ‘field’), of which ‘phiệt’ shows the sound of ‘phật’, while ‘田’ implies the Buddhist robes worn by monks (田衣). Thus, it is a phono-sematic compound (形聲字). Herein, we can see that both the explanations for the formation of the variant character were appropriate for the purpose of teaching and disseminating Buddhist dogmas. I myself support the first explanation.
