Common confusions#
- Confused with 大叶 'large leaf' (dàyè).
- Brand dates: first used 1988 and registered 1989 (zh.wikipedia, Dayi official site); a 1995 registration by the Menghai joint-stock company is also recorded. A vendor date of 1996 for "going private and adopting the Dayi logo" conflicts with the October 2004 privatisation.
