Names have special meaning for each of us. Our parents start racking their brains to think of our names when we are just born or even before we are born. A name is not only a pronoun for us, but also bears the love and expectations given to us by our parents or the namer. It can be said that everyone's name is a story.
However, our country’s history is extensive and profound, and our language and characters also have many meanings. Many times, the meaning of our names is obviously good and noble, but after inexplicable interpretation, it suddenly loses its original meaning. It's even a little funny. Now let's make fun of the names of the ancients and see which of their names are more interesting.
The first one is Duke Huan of Zhou. His name is quite down-to-earth, called Black Shoulder. It is said that he had a black mark on his shoulder when he was born. The mark was quite large and spread to his upper arm, so he had another nickname - Black Arm. Then there is Wei Zishu. His naming method is probably the same as that of Duke Huan of Zhou. He is called Heibei. The second one is Deng Mengnu, the queen of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty. As her name suggests, she was indeed fierce. She blatantly competed with Guo Guiren for favor. In the end, she was deposed by Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty and died in depression.
The third one is Liu Shenxu of the Tang Dynasty. Liu Shenxu had a high IQ. He was able to write at the age of eight and had a strong name for poetry. He was a famous poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, comparable to the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty. Same name. The fourth one is Xin Tiezhu of the Song Dynasty. It is said that Xin Tiezhu was the son of the famous poet Xin Qiji. Xin Qiji was so talented that I don’t know why he gave his son such a name. The fifth one is Wang Caozhi, the sixth son of Wang Xizhi. The word "Cao" was originally a good word, but now everyone knows it, and there were quite a few people named after this word in ancient times, such as Cao Tiancheng, the leader of the uprising army in the late Sui Dynasty ( Also known as Cao Shiqi), Lai Junchen’s father Lai Cao, etc.
