In modern Chinese, whether "tempering" should be written as "tempering" or "honing" has always been controversial. Before the revision of 1996, Modern Chinese Dictionary only accepted "tempering" and did not accept "tempering". Some writings clearly point out that "temper" is a typo and should be changed to "temper".

Temper and temper are a group of heteromorphic words, which are written in different ways and have the same meaning, meaning to undergo exercise in a difficult and difficult environment.

With the constant standardization of heteromorphic words, both will definitely stay.

For example, the Handbook of Discrimination of Common Misspellings (Du Weidong et al., Beijing Institute of Physical Education Press, 1988), page 167, contains 800 groups of misspellings. Source:
