The character 柏 is traditionally pronounced "Bó," and Bo Yang himself pronounced it as Bó. In Modern Standard Chinese (mainland Chinese), some authorities favour the view that it is pronounced as "Bó" except when used to mean "cypress tree," when it is pronounced "Bǎi"[1] while other authorities favour the view that 柏 is pronounced as "Bǎi" when used as a surname.[2] Bo Yang himself always pronounced it as "Bo".
