欧阳修(歐陽脩)的名字

Xiu (脩)

the name of Ouyang Xiu the great poet and stateman of the Song Dynasty should be unified as脩in the traditional Chinese character system. Some ancient books in the Ming and Qing dynasties mistakenly changed 脩to 修. The mistake has been passed down to today. Scholars have pointed out that it should be corrected. However

in the simplified character system

it is still reasonable to change 脩to 修. The opinion advocating 脩for the name of Ouyang Xiu in the simplified character system violates the principle for character choice and therefore is not desirable. So it should be stipulated that in future publications

the name of Ouyang Xiu is always 脩in traditional Chinese text and 修in simplified Chinese text.
