Title: A Supplementary Explanation of the Word Lanchan(蓝搀)
Abstract: Lanchan(蓝搀) used in Taiping Guangji(太平广记) and Lanchan(蓝搀) used in Wudeng Huiyuan(五灯会元), are actually the same word. Nowadays, scholars have interpreted them as ugly. This essay holds that this interpretation isn't quite exact and it need some supplementaries. And this essay insists that the word in above-mentioned two documents means one's nose is long and sagging.
