Tone of 申

Marked here as second tone (rising). Is that right ? I thought it was first tone (flat) shēn. Hout (talk) 14:16, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

My knowledge of Chinese pronunciation is somewhere between pitiful and non-existant but I think you may be correct. Contrast https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sh%C3%A9n with https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sh%C4%93n, specifically line #25. --Thundergnat (talk) 14:46, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthly_Branches lists it as shēn. --Thundergnat (talk) 14:52, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
Yup, typo on my part. Thanks for the correction! --Markjreed (talk) 18:46, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
