Cao Can vs Cao Shen

[edit]

Is there any proof that 曹參 here should be pronounced as Cao Shen and not Cao Can? The Chinese internet seems to be unanimous that the 參 here should be "Cān" and not the other pronunciations of the character 參 (judging by a simple search of "曹參 讀法" on Google), whereas for "Cao Shen" I find a page on Chinaknowledge.de simply saying it's "not Cao Can!" without elaboration. Does anyone know what the English academic sources say about his name? _dk (talk) 16:11, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
