ViciousMan: Which Wen is in Ko Reibun's Chinese name? (2006-05-30 08:00) [#1644]

I do not know which "Wen" is in Ko Reibun's Chinese name.

I use Wiktionary to get Chinese readings of characters. But here I noticed two "Wen"'s (Wen2 and Wen4) for the final part of Ko Reibun's Chinese name.

Which one is it?

孔令文 should be correct, if [ext] Gobase is to be trusted.

Yep, that's his name.

But... "文" resolves to wen2 and wen4 and I wonder which one makes up Ko Reibun's Chinese name (Kong Lingwen) - We already have the pinyin tones for "Kong" and "Ling" - But I do not know the tone for "Wen".

wen2 is common, wen4 is rare. So I will assume wen2.
