How to pronounce the word in the middle of Libra?

Pinyin: tiān chèng Zuo

Interpretation: One of the 12 Zodiacs. See zodiac.

Modern Chinese Dictionary: "Scale" has only one pronunciation, which is Cheng, and the entry "Libra".

How can so many people mispronounce such an unusual word?

There may be several reasons for the analysis:

1, read the word and read half. On the right side of the word "scale" is a word "flat", so I read it flat;

2, misled by icons. In many books or web pages about constellations, there are icons of various constellations. The icon of Libra is a balance, so Libra is regarded as a balance. In fact, "balance" is also a kind of "scale".

3. Pass it on. Listen to others say so, and you see it the same way. Are you pronouncing correctly?
