Cao Can vs Cao Shen edit

Is there any proof that 曹參 here should be pronounced as Cao Shen and not Cao Can? The Chinese internet seems to be unanimous that the 參 here should be "Cān" and not the other pronunciations of the character 參 (judging by a simple search of "曹參 讀法" on Google), whereas for "Cao Shen" I find a page on Chinaknowledge.de simply saying it's "not Cao Can!" without elaboration. Does anyone know what the English academic sources say about his name? _dk (talk) 16:11, 30 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
