其
El significado original de “Qi” es cistella recogedora, que es la palabra antigua para “cistella recogedora”. Sin embargo, en varios documentos antiguos se ha utilizado durante mucho tiempo como adverbio y pronombre, y hoy se pronuncia qí. “Qi” a veces se lee como jī. La primera es escribir una partícula modal, como “Cómo está la noche” en “El Libro de las Canciones·Xiaoya·Ting Liao”; la segunda es leer “Qi (punto)”; para expresar el aniversario.
