Kangxi Dictionary: How many pictures are there in Yan Zi? How can there be seven paintings and nine paintings? Which expert knows which is right and gives a good reason?

Seven paintings and nine paintings are all right. Because Kangxi Dictionary gives two kinds of "Yan" characters: orthographic and variant.

Orthography is the word "Yan" we use now, which is seven paintings, while the opening word to the right of "horizontal" in variant characters is two "stems", so it is nine paintings. Yan is a Chinese character in China, pronounced yán, which is generally interpreted as beauty, such as beauty (beauty and ugliness) and flowers compete for beauty. This can also be interpreted as coincidence, such as Yan Jie.

Variant characters are a group of words with the same pronunciation and meaning but different glyphs. Because Chinese characters are composed of signifiers, notes and symbols, the angle of choosing signifiers varies from person to person, and the notes are different from the letters in Pinyin, so the phenomenon of multiple characters is very common and does not mean traditional Chinese characters.
