<p>Both 浣huàn and 浣wǎn mean “wash”, so they’re just different in pronunciation.</p>

<p>What is the pronounce of <code>浣</code>? In the <a href="https://dict.mini.moe.edu.tw/SearchIndex/word_detail" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>教育部國語小字典</code></a>, it sounds <code>wan</code> with 3rd tone, and it doesn't list any other sounds, but in <a href="http://xh.5156edu.com/html3/8497.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">dictionary published in China</a>, this word has <code>huan</code> sound with 4th tone. Neither list the other sounds, so is this the heteronym phenomenon or just different pronunciation in different places?</p>

教育部國語小字典 seems to differ from the 教育部重編國語辭典, despite both being from the Ministry of Education in Taiwan. The former lists wǎn as standard, while the latter lists huǎn as standard (and wǎn as a variant reading). However, I'm under the impression that wǎn is the more common reading in Taiwan. In Mainland China, the standard reading is huàn.

What's the right sound of 浣

What is the pronounce of `浣`? In the [`教育部國語小字典`](https://dict.mini.moe.edu.tw/SearchIndex/word_detail), it sounds `wan` with 3rd tone, and it doesn't list any other sounds, but in [dictionary published in China](http://xh.5156edu.com/html3/8497.html), this word has `huan` sound with 4th tone. Neither list the other sounds, so is this the heteronym phenomenon or just different pronunciation in different places?

Both 浣huàn and 浣wǎn mean “wash”, so they’re just different in pronunciation.
