cypress【huì】
is used for names, Qin cypress, the prime minister of Southern Song Dynasty, and traitorous officials. This theory comes from " Xinhua Dictionary " and has a wide range of influences.
Due to the authoritative interpretation of the Xinhua Dictionary as an endorsement, many people take it for granted that the pronunciation of Qin Hui's "桧" should be "huì". actually not.
To clarify this problem, you should understand some common sense of Han people's name. For example, Liu Bei named his adopted son "Liu Feng" and his son "Liu Chan".

"Xia", "Yun", "Ling" and so on are all over the streets, but few people use them now.

Especially nowadays, computer-based name testing is popular in urban and rural areas. Although it is elegant, it has a high rate of repeated names and lacks specific cultural connotations.
Families with many boys often have good wishes when naming them, such as the prosperity of the dragon and the phoenix, the prosperity and wealth, the rivers and oceans, the A, B, C, Ding, gold, silver, copper and iron. Most people over the age of 50 know that there is no lack of this way of naming in life.
Less gossip, return to the book. The three Qin Hui brothers were named Qin Zi, Qin Hui, and Qin Di. "Zi", "Ji" and "Di" all contain the radical "Wood", indicating that their names are closely related to trees. His brother Qin Zi, the half-brother of Qin Hui, was born in as a scholar of . He used to know Taiping Mansion and Shaoxing for 16 years. He died when he knew Huzhou and was buried in Nanpingfeng Mountain, Liyang City, Jiangsu Province. His younger brother, Qin Di, was not a jinshi and used to know Mingzhou and Xuanzhou. Died in Shaoxing eighteen years.
