Everyone has his own destiny. Sometimes people complain about the injustice of God. The quality of his name can actually affect a person's future. In today's era, when parents are born, they all want to give their children a good name, and they also pay attention to some five elements, eight trigrams, birth dates, etc. So, is having a good name really important? For example, for these two champions in the Ming and Qing dynasties, a good name was really important to them.
The ancient imperial examinations were much more cruel than the current college entrance examinations, which meant that thousands of troops could cross a single-plank bridge. They have studied hard for more than ten years, or even decades.
The first lucky person is Ding Xian. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had a personal interview for the "palace examination". The night before he was in the palace examination, he dreamed that a huge nail appeared in front of the palace, with a few strands of white silk wrapped around the nail. Flying down. After the palace examination was completed the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing the papers, and he saw a name called "Ding Xian". Ding Xian, Ding means "nail", which means "double silk under the sun". Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed. Isn't this consistent with the scene in my dream last night? So he was immediately selected as the number one scholar. How lucky this is, and he is also the first lucky person to become the number one pick based on his name.
The second lucky person is Liu Chunlin, the top scholar in the last imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty. In the 30th year of Guangxu's reign, the first place was Zhu Ruzhen, a student from Guangdong. Because the word "zhen" in her name reminded Empress Dowager Cixi of Concubine Zhen, and Zhu Ruzhen was from Guangdong. At that time, many Qing Dynasty rebellious parties appeared in Guangdong, such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Reformists. Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, as well as revolutionary Sun Yat-sen, were not selected.
Instead, second place Liu Chunlin was chosen. ?Just because his name means something good. It means that the spring breeze turns into rain and the rain falls. This year there was a severe drought, and the whole country was eagerly looking forward to a spring rain.
