also you wrote: In Chinese Gui (鬼) means "ghost, sly, crafty" whilst Fang (方) means "region, area, place". Thank you. but I think, Fang = "region" is important. Guifang = "the region of Gui people" (but it does not mean that "the region of ghost" etc.)Böri (talk) 11:32, 24 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Fang with the three definitions is fine. You are right though, Gui did not mean what it does today - I read something about this today and it is to do with the sounds and written forms of ancient Chinese. In the same way the 犬 in 犬戎 Quanrong does not mean "dog". Philg88 (talk) 21:50, 24 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
