Names are very important to us, so we also attach great importance to naming. Therefore, there are many names with beautiful artistic conception in history, such as Li Qingzhao, Tao Yuanming, Qin Wuyang, Wang Xizhi, Liu Rushi, Nalan Rongruo, etc. Just hearing this name makes me feel very beautiful and graceful.

Li Qingzhao
But there are many names in history. If you listen to them today, they are really not impressive enough, and it is really hilarious to talk about them. So today we will pick out some of their names from the massive number of historical figures and talk about them with you.

Duke Huan of Qi Jiang Xiaobai
Because there are too many names, let’s start with a historical figure we are familiar with. Who? Duke Huan of Qi, your name, Duke Huan of Qi, is Xiaobai. We all know this. Historically, our newbie also had a cousin whose name seemed super weak, named Gongsun Wuwu. As his name suggests, this ignorant man in history was indeed very ignorant. He killed the king and usurped the throne before being killed, and he became the deposed Duke of Qi. It was only after his death that Xiaobai returned to his country to become the king and created a hegemony.

Jin Chenggong Ji Hei Butt
In addition to Xiaobai, there are also some more funny ones, such as Jin Chenggong's name is Hei Buttocks. It is said that Jin Chenggong got his name because his buttocks are black. Legend has it that his mother dreamed that the god ordered his buttocks to be painted with ink. When Jin Chenggong was born, his mother dreamed that the god made a black mark on his buttocks, so he was named this.

Yiwu competes for position
In addition to the black butt, there are other places that are black. For example, in history, the king of the Communist Party of Chu, , had a son with fair skin, but his name was Hei Hu. The humerus is the part of the arm from the elbow to the shoulder. It is probably the arm that is dark. In history, there was a younger brother of the Marquis of Wei named Uncle Wei, who was in the same lineage. His name was Heibei, probably because his back was black. This black-backed bark sounded like it had the same name as a world-famous German shepherd dog.
Historical Jin Xiangong, the nickname is Hao, Hao, what does it mean? It means poisonous scorpion.

Duke Xian of Jin
There is also the Queen of Chu Huai Wang called Ambition. In history, Liu Bang’s wife Empress Dowager Lv was named Pheasant. Pheasant means pheasant, Lu pheasant. The names of the children born to her and Liu Bang are also very wild. The eldest son is called Liu Fei , and the eldest daughter is called Liu Piao . There is also a general in the Western Han Dynasty called Chen Xi. The word "訨" is difficult to write, and it means big wild boar.
Lord Wu Sun Quan and his wife were called Mrs. Bu, and they had two daughters. The eldest daughter's name is Luban , which has the same pronunciation and the same word as Luban, the founder of carpentry. The younger one is called Lu Yu. The two little girls' nicknames are Dahu and Xiaohu respectively; and the first general in the Southern Qi Dynasty is called Zhang Gouer, and his brother Zhang Zhuer. Later, the name was too unpleasant, so the two brothers changed their names to Zhang Gong'er and Zhang Jing'er .

Lu Pheasant
It is said that there was a famous general in the Jin Dynasty called Guo Toad. I wonder if he liked to eat swan meat. There are some people in history whose names are also quite funny. From our modern eyes Just looking at it, it seems a little unruly. For example, Lu Bu had two generals under his command. One was Cao Xing, who was good at shooting. In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of Xiahou Dun's eyes was shot out by him. Lu Bu also had a general under his command, and his name was quite cute. He was really cute, because his name was Hao Meng.

Wang Caozhi calligraphy
Hao Meng just has a cute name, but he is actually a ruthless character. It is said that in 196 AD, in June of the first year of Jian'an, there was a rebellion, and the old boss was Lu Bu, who had the highest combat value among the Three Kingdoms. What forced her to do this was that Lu, who was unconscious at the time, pulled his wife in his arms, and then jumped into the latrine in her underwear.
Speaking of unethical names, there are the following historical figures, and one named Wang Caozhi . Remember to pronounce Cao in the playground. Why is he famous? Because he is the sixth son of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi.

"Shishuoxinyu"
Regarding Wang Caozhi, it is said that such an incident was recorded in "Shishuoxinyu·Etiquette".
Chen Xiannu invited Wang Caozhi, but Wang Caozhi was displeased and asked her to teach her etiquette but refused to listen. The king was angry, so he whipped his face and drove him away. The girl returned and cried to Chen. Chen Wenzhi was angry and ashamed, so he whipped his daughter again. The next day, he tied up his daughter and asked the king to do it again. Wang Cao was very happy because he knew the etiquette, so he had sex with her, and then they dispersed. Remember, it must be pronounced in one tone, but it still feels very yellow. In fact, it is said that it is because the ancients' writing was very concise, which has caused modern people's misunderstanding. For example, in the original text, Chen Xiannu invited Wang Caozhi, but Wang Caozhi was displeased.

Preface to the Lanting Collection
What it probably means is that Chen Xian wanted to invite Wang Caozhi to his home, so he asked his daughter to invite him. But Wang Caozhi felt unhappy and felt that this was very inconsistent with etiquette. There are differences between men and women. You have to come to me alone. How can you ask a girl to come to me? This is unbecoming.
taught Chen Xian's daughter face to face what etiquette is, what righteousness is, and what nonsense it is. As a result, Chen Xian's daughter became impatient and felt that I was giving you face by inviting you on behalf of my family. You were still preaching to me here, so she argued. As a result, Wang Caozhi was a chauvinist, so he picked up a whip, whipped Chen Xian's daughter, and then drove her away.

Shaoxing Lanting
Chen Xian's daughter came home and cried to her father. Unexpectedly, Chen Xian felt that what Wang Caozhi said was reasonable. It was indeed wrong for her daughter to be impatient with others. As a result, not only did his daughter not come forward, but her elbows were turned outward. She felt very ashamed of Wang Caozhi. When she became angry, she picked up the whip and whipped her daughter again.
The next day Chen Xian tied up his daughter and went to apologize to Wang Caozhi. Wang Caozhi was very happy when he saw that Lao Chen had tied up his daughters. He thought that Chen Xian understood the etiquette, so he entertained Chen Xian warmly, and the guests and hosts stayed up all night.

Lai Junchen
must make it clear like this, otherwise, the meaning will go wrong again. What "please ask the king to do it, it's not fun to do it". I searched this ancient text several times, and finally came to the conclusion that it was actually an oracle bone inscription, probably made up by modern people using Wang Caozhi's name, just for fun. There is no record of this in "Shishuo Xinyu·Etiquette". Anyway, I couldn't find it.
is related to Cao. For example, Wu Zetian had a cool official named Lai Junchen. His name was quite delicate, but the name given by his father was really too rough. His father called Lai Cao, and the pronunciation of Lai Cao must be pronounced correctly. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, there was another famous historian called Wei Shou. There is nothing wrong with the name Wei Shou. The key is his character, which is Boqi. An unethical name will sound much older to us modern people, so try to say it as often as possible.

Wei Shou
For example, King Wen of Zhou Ji Chang’s fourth son later assisted King Wu of Zhou to destroy Shang and assisted King Cheng of Zhou to rule. Kingdom, brought great order to the world, and was revered as Yuan Sheng Zhou Gong real name, Ji Dan, and Zheng Huan Gong what is Ji You, you know, and Zhou Xiaowang is called Ji Bifang . At the end of the Warring States period, our Zhao State general was called Zhao Cong. Coincidentally, there was a prince named Liu Lian in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the period of Wang Mang, there was also a name. It is said that this person was a giant, about 2.3 meters tall, with a waist circumference of 10 girth. His name was Big Mac, Cao family, Cao Cao , Cao Ren , Cao Zhen , Cao Shuang , which are the last four words of them. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a general with a very strange name. His surname was Lu, his given name was Shuang, and his nickname was Lu Shuang.

Zhou Gong
There was another poet in Tang Dynasty . His name was Liu Minxu [shèn], which seems to need to be supplemented. Among these names, there are some rules that can be followed. For example, some surnames have some numbers, which is quite interesting to talk about. I picked them up and combined them. For example, King Goujian of Yue had a minister named Sishui at that time; in the Tang Dynasty, there was a general named Li Huaiguang, and his grandson Yan Baba.
and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang’s original name was Zhu Chongba . It’s strange that their great ancestor was called Zhu Bailiu , and their great ancestor Zhu Sijiu , grandfather Zhu Chuyi, father Zhu Wusi, eldest brother Zhu Chongsi, second brother Zhu Chongliu, third brother Zhu Chongqi, in addition, even his eldest brother-in-law is named Wang Qiyi. As expected, they are not a family. If they don't enter the house, the whole family is good at numbers.

Liu Minxu
Zhu Yuanzhang had a general named Chang Yuchun, his great-grandfather was named Chang Sisan, his grandfather was named Chang Chongwu, and his father was named Chang Liuliu.
In addition to these numbers, there are also some celebrities from ethnic minorities in history. When recording in Chinese in ancient times, it would be a joke to use Chinese pronunciation to translate their names into Chinese.
For example, in history Daliao Khitan, there was a king of the North Academy, called Monk Yelu. What a special character. This name was really ahead of its time. In addition to his official name, this man was famous in history, and he also had a particularly powerful skill, that is, he could drink. Historically, he was called the "Jiu Xian".

off
Yuan Dynasty We all know that the dynasty was very short, and it was also a very magical dynasty. The names of many people in the Yuan Dynasty also sounded strange. For example, in the Yuan Dynasty, there were many ministers named Tuotuo. The first was Tuotuo, the virtuous prime minister who first controlled the Yellow River floods. In fact, it was earlier than this Tuotuo. There was another Tutuo who was the Zuo Prime Minister of the Yuanwu Zong Dynasty. His father's name was also interesting, Yaya.
And in the Ming Dynasty the founding emperor A'Zhu Chongba also had many Mongolian generals at the time, one of whom was named Li Xian. But do you know what his original name is? His original name was Chou Donkey, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand it anymore, so he changed his name for him; the other was called Mai Donkey, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave him the name Wu Cheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang
During the Ming Yingzong period, there was a Mongolian general named Ding Shun, but he also had an original name, which was called Hold the Donkey. I don’t know if they like drinking. Now there is a kind of wine called Mendao Donkey, which can be used as an image endorsement.
In short, some names given by the ancients did not go through too much consideration, such as giving a nickname to make a living, or something like double eight, but most of them actually had meanings that had been carefully considered by their parents, which was also good at the time. I didn't think it was funny when I read it, but it doesn't work anymore because the phonetic context has changed.

Tao Yuanming
For example, the famous Mr. Tao Yuanming in our history, he prefers chrysanthemums, but how did he know what chrysanthemums mean when people hear them nowadays? Another example is the word "flying" Xiang, Xiang is such a good word, so now when you hear it, it is Yoneda Kyou.
