Tumeric or Turmeric
The Distinction of Different Characters
There are two characters in the world, which are similar in shape and have special meanings, called "tumeric" and "turmeric". People are often confused about the difference between the two. The root of the study is that the knowledge is not refined, and the identification is not clear.
"Turmeric" is a genus of herbs, and the rhizome can be used as medicine. It is also a good seasoning product. It is widely used in the field of cooking and medicine. Its color is yellow, it is mild in nature, it can adjust the five flavors, and it can also cure diseases. It is important in the world.
And "tumeric" is a word written incorrectly, and it is rarely seen in the classics. Or due to a mistake in writing, or due to a mistake in oral transmission, there is a similar mistake.
In the eyes of students, the two words are often confused. The reason for this is that the first is that the study of characters has not been deeply studied, and the second is that the heart is not dedicated and careless. If you want to make a clear distinction, you should read the classics frequently, read the books widely, and see the true chapter in the details. Every time you encounter such similar words, you must study them in detail, analyze their shape and distinguish their meaning, so as not to make mistakes.
The husband of words is a treasure of the country and a carrier of civilization. The difference between a word is thousands of miles. Therefore, our generation should have a heart of awe and rigorous study, so that the beauty of words can be passed on endlessly, so as not to make specious words confuse the right path.
