Etymology
The two pronunciations have the same etymology but later split into two different pronunciations, with pronunciation 2 becoming specific for place names.
There is a legend that when Qianlong Emperor visited Xushuguan, he mispronounced this character using the 有邊讀邊／有边读边 (yǒu biān dú biān) method. As a result, people pronounced the place name following the emperor.
