| Lien-Sheng Yang, “Toward a Study of Dynastic Configurations in Chinese History”: Incidentally, the historical expression chung-hsing 中興 only means “revival” rather than “revival in the middle of a dynasty” as one might guess. Tradition prefers to pronounce the character chung 中 in falling tone instead of level tone, the meaning being “second” (same as chung 仲) and therefore “again” or “another”. This meaning of chung 中 can be found also in year-titles. For instance, the last two years (56-57) of Emperor Kuang-wu 光武 of the Eastern Han 東漢 are known as Chien-wu Chung-yuan 建武中元, i.e., another era of Chien-wu 光武. Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty 梁武帝 had the year-titles Ta-t’ung 大通 (527-528) and Ta-t’ung 大同 (535-545), and repeated them as Chung Ta-t’ung 中大通 (529-534) and Chung Ta-t’ung 中大同 (546), respectively. |
