My son went to elementary school this year. When he sent his son to school, he saw the class list and found that many children's names were filled with strange and uncommon characters.
Some even if the characters are used normally, the names formed have no meaning. They are all based on the so-called " theory of good and bad luck ", and they are forced to make up.
So I wanted to share some excellent names from ancient times to the present, and interpret what culture they come from and what culture they contain.
hopes to inspire some people. When naming children in the future, you can follow these directions and give them a culturally renowned name.
This is how we live up to the thousand-year cultural heritage of China.
is derived from the Taoist classic name:
Liu Bei, whose courtesy name is Xuande , was the founding emperor of Shu Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms.
" Xuande " comes from Chapter 10 of "Laozi": "It is born and not possessed, does not rely on it, grows but does not slaughter it, which is called Xuande ."
Translation: Let all things grow and reproduce, nurture all things without taking possession for themselves, and be the growth of all things without dominating them. This is called Xuande , which is a supreme virtue.
"Zhuangzi·External Chapter·Heaven and Earth": "Wuwei means virtue ... Therefore, it is called regulating, virtue accomplishment is called establishment, and following the Tao is called Preparation . It is not called perfection by things to suppress their ambitions."
general meaning: No selfishness to teach others is "virtue"... Following the Tao is complete;
Liu Bei's name means: following the supreme virtue and reaching the perfect state of life.
Battle of the Blinds
During the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Taoism was prevalent, and the names containing " Xuan", "Tao", and "ling " became a trend.
The name of the Xie family in Liu Yuxi's "Old Wang Xie Tang Fore Yan" is:
Xie Xuan , character Youdu , famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, executor of the Battle of Feishui.
Xie Xuan's sister Xie Daoyuan , a female poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the prototype of "Talent of Songs of Fuqi".
The name enters the "Three Character Classic" " Cai Wenji can distinguish the piano. Xie Daoyun can chant and chant ." Marrying Wang Ningzhi, the son of Wang Xizhi, is a wife;
Xie Xuan's grandson Xie Lingyun , Li Bai's idol, the idiom talented allusion comes from his mouth.
One day during the banquet, Xie Lingyun brags: "Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there has been a stone of literary talent in the world. Among them, Cao Zijian (i.e. Cao Zhi) has taken eight dou, I have one dou, and the others have one dou."
Kuaiji Mountain Lanting
Northern Wei Tianshidao leader Kou Qianzhi is named "zhi", making the name ": " popular all the time.
Wang XizhiThe family is a family of Tianshidao. He and his children both have the words ": " in their names:
The eldest son Wang Xuanzhi, whose courtesy name is Boyuan;

Sevenzi Wang Xianzhi , whose courtesy name is Zijing;
Daughter Wang Meng Jiang , whose courtesy name is Zijing;
Daughter Wang Meng Jiang , who is Xie Lingyun's grandmother.
Tianzhu
In the Tang Dynasty, the phenomenon of " Xuan" still existed in the name.
Wang Xuance, an ignored great diplomat, made great achievements of " One man destroys one country ".
In 647 AD, on his way back to the escort of King Xuance (India), the King of Central India died, and the ministers usurped the throne and led troops to hijack Wang Xuance and other Indian countries to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty's property.
Wang Xuance was defeated and captured. He took advantage of the opportunity of the enemy robbing property and fled. He arrived in Tubo and summoned 8,200 Tubo soldiers and Nibora (now Nepal) cavalry.
Wang Xuance led his troops south and captured Chali and Luocheng in three days, with more than 10,000 casualties from the enemy. Aronna fled and gathered the scattered soldiers to fight again and was captured.
More than one person who followed the king's wife failed to resist in the Qianduowei River. This war captured his concubine and prince, captured 12,000 people, 30,000 livestock, and 580 cities surrendered.
Other countries in India were frightened and offered gifts.
In May of the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance offered prisoners in Chang'an. Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty appointed Wang Xuance as the Chaosan Doctor.
Wang Xuance has made a great reputation in the Western Regions. Unfortunately, Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the court failed to pay enough attention.
kunpeng spreads its wings
Chen Tuan, whose courtesy name is Tunan, and his nickname is Fuyaozi , was given the name Mr. Xiyi, also known as Chen Tuan's ancestor, Sleeping Immortal, and Xiyi ancestor. He was born in the late Tang Dynasty and went through the Five Dynasties. He passed away in the second year of Duangong in the Northern Song Dynasty at the age of 118.
Chen Tuan 's "name", "character" and "number" are all derived from "Zhuangzi·Xiaoyaoyou" : "The Peng moved to the south of the west, and the water hit three thousand miles, and swayed and went up ninety thousand miles. ...... The one who carried the blue sky and was nowhere to be young, and then now Tou Nan ."
"tou" means that birds circling and flying towards the sky;
"Tou Nan": intend to fly south.
This Taoist semi-immortal figure is named after Taoist classics and is well deserved.
Yan Jidao, whose courtesy name is Shuyuan, is a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty and the seventh son of Yan Shu, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty.
" How many roads" comes from Chapter 8 of "Laozi": "The best good is like water. Water benefits all things without fighting, and is in the way that everyone hates, so it is almost like Tao."
Chen Derong
Chen Derong, Taiwanese artist, whose name comes from Chapter 21 of "Tao Te Ching": "The appearance of Confucius is only the Tao follows. Tao is only the thing, only the trance."
Translation: The form of great virtue is determined by Tao. The thing "Tao" has no clear fixed entity.
"Derong" original meaning is virtue . The word "文 " is also a very suitable word for girls to use. It has the meaning of beauty and the virtue of " tolerate ".
" Derong " is a great name that has both connotation and height, and also highlights the greatness of women.
Xu Changde , this name is very strange, but when it comes to songs such as "If the Cloud Knows", "The One Who Loves Me and the One Who I Love", and "Moonlight in the City", everyone is familiar with them.
These songs are written by Xu Changde, a famous and prolific lyricist in Taiwan, who wrote thousands of songs.
"Changde " comes from Chapter 28 of "Laozi": "Know that his hero is, keep his female is, be the stream in the world. For the stream in the world, always virtue is inseparable, and return to the baby. Knowing that his whiteness is, keeping his blackness is the style of the world, and being the style of the world, always virtue is not wrong, return to the Wuji."
Changde : Eternal virtue.
I don’t know if his name comes from the Tao Te Ching or I miss the Changde area, so let’s regard it as the former.
The name of a celebrity derived from Buddhist culture:
Emperor Yang of Sui nickname " Naluoyan ", which means Buddhist Vajra Lishi ;
Li Shimin's Empress Changsun nickname " Guanyinbi ", which is only called "Changsun Family" in the official history, and has no name. In the unofficial history, she was named " Changsun Wuque " (it should be derived from her brother Changsun Wuji).
In the TV series "The World Chang'an", Empress Changsun is called " Changsun Jieluo ". Please listen to it.
Li Jiancheng's crown princess is called " Zheng Guanyin ". He was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang (now Zhengzhou, Henan Province) and is as beautiful as a flower.
Xiao Guanyin
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the first empress of Yelu Hongji, Daozong of Liao Dynasty, was named Xiao Guanyin, and was also a talented and beautiful woman. It is said to be Su Shi's little fan girl.
Unfortunately, the fate of the two called "Guanyin" was not very good. One was lonely and the other was given a white silk for a poem.
Wang Wei, the word "Mojie " Tang Dynasty poet. The name comes from the Buddhist "Vimalakirti Sutra"
Wang Wei Because his poems and paintings contain Zen principles, they are called "Poetry Buddha".
Stills of Liu Rushi
Liu Rushi , a famous ke in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, whose real name is Yang Ai, because I read Xin Qiji's poem: "I saw that the green mountains are so charming, and I guess that the green mountains should see me," so I called myself Rushi .
The word " Rushi " comes from the Buddhist scriptures " Rushi I heard", which is borrowed from Xin Qiji's words.
Liu Rushi is known as the leader of the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", mainly because later generations praised her integrity:
Qing soldiers entered the pass, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, Liu Rushi wanted to join the water with her husband Qian Qianyi to die for the country, and the money lived secretly under the excuse of "the water was too cold and could not be lowered", and later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Qian Qianyi was an important official of the Ming Dynasty and a literary leader, but his integrity was not as good as a weak girl from a genius.
Xiong Shili , the founder of the modern Neo-Confucian school, and Mou Zongsan, Tang Junyi, Xu Fuguan (these three are disciples of Xiong Shili), Zhang Junmai (mài), Liang Shuming, Feng Youlan, and Fang Dongmei are called " Eight Great Masters of New Confucianism "
" Ten Powers " refers to the ten powers of Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, namely: deep mind power, increasing deep mind power, convenient power, intelligence, vow power, action power, riding power, divine transformation power, bodhi power, and turning Dharma wheel power.
Xiongli Not only does his name come from Buddhism, but his descendants also contain the Buddhist flavor:
Son's name is "Xiongshibo", and his two granddaughters are "Xiong Mingxin" and "Xiong Mingzong".
一个号
The three cultures of "Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism" have been passed down in this hot land of China for thousands of years, influencing each other, developing and integrating, and gaining each other.
If you find a book to integrate the ideas of the three schools, it is "The Four Lessons of Life".
is a strange book that can change one's destiny and fortune. Its words are simple and the cases are vivid. It has been highly respected since its publication. Its author is Yuan Liaofan .
Yuan Liaofan, was originally named Yuan Biao, and later changed his name to Yuan Huang, with his courtesy name Qingyuan, and also his courtesy name Kunyi and Yifu. He was originally named Xuehai, and later changed his name to Liaofan , an important thinker of the Ming Dynasty, and has "The Four Lessons of Levitra" and passed down from generation to generation.
shared stunning celebrity names for four consecutive days, just a drop in the ocean, and there is still a lot of relevant knowledge that has not been involved, so I will leave it to discuss it later if I have the opportunity.
Thank you friends for your attention, reading and forwarding!
