After the establishment of the Republic of China , especially after the launch of the New Culture Movement, emerging intellectuals were different from the old-fashioned literati who were conservative and rigid in their thoughts. They had active and open minds, advocated freedom and democracy, pursued science and progress, and their interactions naturally did not have the red tape that old-school people paid attention to, and became relaxed and humorous. The most embodied this humor was to give people a nickname and make fun of it. Influenced by them, nicknames became a popular trend in the Republic of China, and many celebrities also left some interesting nicknames.

Li Yuanhong: Under the bed, the governor

After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, the revolutionary army quickly controlled Wuhan, and the military and political officials in Hubei fled and hid. It is said that Li Yuanhong hid under his concubine's bed in a panic and was found by his subordinates who joined the rebel army. There is also a saying that he hid under the bed of the staff officer Liu Wenji's house. He was discovered by the revolutionary army and forced out with a gun. After being arrested, Li Yuanhong was pushed to the position of governor of the Hubei Provincial Military Government by the Revolutionary Army, so people gave him the nickname "Governor under the Bed".

Tang Shengzhi: Monk General

Tang Shengzhi believed in Buddhism. When he was the commander of the 4th Division of the Hunan Army, he not only ordered all officers and soldiers to believe in Buddhism, but also asked the officers and soldiers to take the precepts at the same time and wear the round "Buddha" badge. This army with a bright and shiny bald head was therefore called the "Monk Army", and Tang Shengzhi naturally became the "Monk General". Buddhism takes compassion as its sympathy, and the "monk General" leads a "monk army" to fight. Which one is the singing?

Feng Yuxiang : General Christ

In addition to the "Buddhist General", there was also a "General Christ" during the Republic of China, that is the famous Feng Yuxiang. In 1913, when Feng Yuxiang was the head of the First Regiment of the Beijing Guards in Peking, he began to believe in Christ under the influence of missionaries of the United States and Israeli-American churches and officially joined the church in 1917. It doesn't count if he entered the church himself. Feng Yuxiang, who was the brigade commander at the time, also asked all the officers and soldiers of the brigade to join the church, and then set up a full-time military priest in each regiment to become the unique "Christian Army" in the country, and he was also called "General Christ."

Wang Huaiqing : Toilet General

Why did Wang Huaiqing have the indecent nickname "Toilet General"? This is related to his habits. In his office, behind the desk was not a chair but a toilet, and he himself sat on the toilet to work. No matter where he went, even if he was marching and fighting, he would have to carry a huge red painted gold-plated toilet to follow him. This is probably because something went wrong with his body, so he could use the toilet at any time, which made the toilet a symbol of him. People don’t need to inquire, just see the eye-catching toilet and know whose team it is.

Wu Peifu : I have a way to do it slowly

Wu Peifu is flexible and has many tricks, so he is always calm in his work. When others are anxious and anxious when they encounter something, he always acts calmly and advises others not to worry, saying, "There will always be a solution." So people gave him the nickname "Mr. Slowly, there will be a solution."

Kong Xiangxi : Mr. Haha

Kong Xiangxi studied at Yale University in the United States in his early years. According to the habits of international students, he also gave himself an English name. The abbreviation of his English name is "H·H·Kong", and the abbreviation of "H·H", plus he is smooth and does not like to offend people, and is afraid of his wife, so he got the nickname "Haha".

Wu Zhihui : Wu Caizi

When Wu Zhihui was studying at Jiangyin Nanjing Academy, he saw Jiangsu Xuezheng Puliang (Manchu) sitting in a large sedan chair passing by the Confucius Temple without getting off the sedan chair in front of the dismounting monument. He angrily picked up the stone and threw it into the sedan chair, making Puliang embarrassed. The entourage grabbed Wu Zhihui, and he was not afraid at all and shouted that he was a student of Nanjing Academy.At that time, Huang Xuantong, the famous scholar of Nanjing, admired the spirit of this student very much. He was not afraid of Pu Liang's pressure and only punished him symbolically. Pu Liang was afraid that if the matter was too big, he would gain a bad reputation as "disrespectful sages", so he had to stop delving into it. After this incident spread, the locals privately called Wu Zhihui "Wu Crazy".

Ma Yinchu : Wuma Taishou

Ma Yinchu's "Five Horses" are really a coincidence. He was born on June 24, 1882. The lunar calendar is the ninth day of the fifth month of the Renwu year of the Guangxu period. The fifth month is the month of Wu, and the ninth day of the day is the day of Wu. The time when he was born is also the hour of noon. The year of Renwu, the month of Wu, the day of Wu, and the hour of noon are all horses. The "four horses" and his surname are exactly five horses, so they are nicknamed "Five Horses Prefect".

Xia Gaizun: Papaya

The reason why Xia Gaizun is called "papaya" is not that he is stupid and stupid. He is a famous writer, translator and publisher in the Republic of China period. His IQ is definitely outstanding. He is called "papaya" because his head is big and round, and his front is a bit bald, and his personality is gentle and simple, so he is nicknamed "papaya".
