<p>I have the impression that in dictionary of 80's 帧 was still labeled as &quot;zhèng&quot; while in the 2000's it's been changed to &quot;zhēn&quot;. There are also similar changes such as &quot;qián&quot; -&gt; &quot;xún&quot; for 荨 in 荨麻疹, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Question</strong>: When did the change for 帧 and 荨 happen specifically, and where to look up for an official document for such changes in general.</p>

I have the impression that in dictionary of 80's 帧 was still labeled as "zhèng" while in the 2000's it's been changed to "zhēn". There are also similar changes such as "qián" -> "xún" for 荨 in 荨麻疹, etc.

**Question**: When did the change for 帧 and 荨 happen specifically, and where to look up for an official document for such changes in general.

**Tags:** pronunciation

There's a short [Sina blog post](http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4c0596f60102yg1x.html) that contains some explanations.

There was a《普通话异读词审音表》that was released in 1985. One of the words on the list was 帧:

> 帧。“装帧”指书画等物的装潢设计。《集韵·映韵》：“帧，张画绘也。”猪孟切，字书据此注为zhèn。声旁是贞，通行的读音是zhēn。《初稿》未审，《定稿》读为zhēn，与贞、侦读音一致。

On the same document you can also find 荨:

> 荨。《初稿》审订“荨麻”一词，定“荨”读qián，不取xún音。“荨麻”是一种植物，人如果被它刺伤，皮肤就刺痒起疹，成为“荨麻疹”。医生和病人把“荨麻疹”读为xúnmázhěn，与“荨麻”的读音不一致。《定稿》把“荨”字的读音分为文读和白读：文读读qián，如荨麻；白读读xún，如荨麻疹。
