Chinese

A user suggests that this Chinese entry be cleaned up, giving the reason: “apparently a conflation of two things here:
  1. variant of 塊, read naturally as kuài;
  2. borrowing from Japanese 圦, unverified for ability to meet CFI, and in all probability read 有邊讀邊-style as rù”.
Please see the discussion on Requests for cleanup(+) for more information and remove this template after the problem has been dealt with.
