A person's name is not only a code name for that person, but also a kind of expression and blessing, which expresses deep friendship and ardent hope for a new life. Names based on poems are deeply emotional. The Book of Songs, the earliest collection of poems in my country, is often used to name children because of its rich meanings and beautiful verses. Only by savoring it carefully can you realize the beauty.
1. Fusu
Fusu, the eldest son of the First Emperor, was known in history as resolute and brave, a man of faith and a warrior, a benevolent and righteous man, with political foresight and the courage to give direct advice.
For Qin fans, the most hated thing is undoubtedly that Zhao Gao conspired with Hu Hai and Li Si to steal the empire, and even killed the prince Fusu and the general Meng Tian, ??leaving eternal regrets.
The name Fusu comes from the tenth poem "There are Fusu in the mountains" in "The Book of Songs·Zheng Feng": There are Fusu in the mountains, and there are lotus flowers in Xi (xi).
There are lush fusu trees on the mountain and beautiful lotus flowers in the pond. Fusu refers to a kind of tree. Although not gorgeous, it is exquisite and elegant. Later, Fusu was used to describe the lush branches and leaves.
2. Cai Yong (yōng)
Cai Yong was a famous official, writer, and calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had a more well-known daughter-Cai Wenji.
Cai Yong's name comes from "Daya·Juan": 趶趶苋苋, Yongyong Yongjiao.
菶(běng)菶: The appearance of lush vegetation.雍(yōng)刈(jiē): the sound of birdsong.
The meaning of this poem is that the branches and leaves are lush and green, and the phoenix sings melodiously. It sounds so nice when used as a name!
Cai Yong not only has a nice name, but also has a story with the even better Jiao Weiqin. The Jiaowei Qin, together with Duke Huan of Qi's "Hao Zhong", King Zhuang of Chu's "Rao Liang", and Sima Xiangru's "Green Qi" are known as the four famous ancient Chinese Qins.
Cai Yong was good at music. The "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" said that when he traveled to Wuzhong, he encountered someone using paulownia wood to make a fire for cooking. Cai Yong heard the sound of firewood exploding in the fire and recognized that it was a good material for making a harp. He rescued it from the fire and asked someone to make it into a harp. After playing it, the sound of the piano was beautiful and extraordinary, and it became a famous piano. Because the burnt part on the end of the instrument is still there, people named it "Jiaowei Qin".
3. Zhuge Kongming
Zhuge Liang, also known as Kongming. "Zhuge's name is immortalized in the universe, and the portraits of his ancestors and ministers are highly respected." Zhuge Liang's name is well-known to every household, and he is called the embodiment of wisdom and a model of morality.
"Kongming" is taken from "Xinnan Mountain" in "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya": worshiping Kongming, the ancestor is the emperor. Repay the blessing. Longevity without borders.
Sacrifice refers to the winter sacrifice, which clearly refers to the complete etiquette. Generally speaking, it means celebrating a good harvest, offering sacrifices to ancestors, and wishing descendants good fortune and longevity.
"Kong Ming" can be understood as meaning that all preparations for the sacrificial ceremony are appropriate and complete, and there are no omissions. "Zhuge was only cautious in his life." Zhuge Liang was very cautious in doing things in his life, which coincides with the meaning of the word "Kong Ming".
4. Du Ruhui
Du Ruhui, courtesy name Keming, was a famous prime minister in the early Tang Dynasty. He was one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, ranking third. Du Ruhui was Li Shimin's loyal minister. Together with Fang Xuanling, he assisted Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and was also known as "Fang's plan and Du Duan". Participated in planning the "Xuanwu Gate Change" and made extraordinary achievements.
Ruhui comes from "The Book of Songs, Zheng Feng, Wind and Rain": The wind and rain are like Hui, and the cock crows endlessly. Now that I see a gentleman, Yunhu is not happy.
It was a stormy day and the sky was dark, but the rooster was still crowing in the storm. This poem originally described love, but later generations interpreted it to have a deeper meaning, and extended it to mean that a gentleman remains true to his integrity despite troubled times and a difficult future. Finally, we can wait until ""When I see a gentleman, I am not happy with the clouds", when the clouds clear and the fog disperses, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.
Du Ruhui's words come from "Shangshu·YuShu·Yao Dian": Keming Junde, To be close to the nine clans means to cultivate one's own moral character first, and then to develop one's own virtues so that the whole family can be harmonious and harmonious.
5. Jiang Caiping
I believe that when many people hear this name, they will ask, who is this person? They are unfamiliar with this character, but she has an identity and is widely known. She is the "Mei Fei" favored by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
She is proficient in poetry and prose, and is especially good at dancing. Before Zhen Huan, Jinghong Dance was her patent.
Mei Fei’s ancestral home is in Fujian, and she grew up in a family of doctors who helped the world in Xuanhu. Her father, Jiang Zhongxun, was a Confucian doctor with a scholarly background. ." He named his daughter "Caiping".
Apple refers to a perennial aquatic fern. In modern Chinese, Ping is simplified to Ping. This poem describes the situation of a girl gathering apple grass before getting married and solemnly preparing sacrifices and sacrifices.
Jiang Caiping, who was named boudoir, became famous far and wide, and was admitted to the palace by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Because of her love for plum blossoms, she was specially given the title of "Mei Fei". When Li Longji became pregnant with Concubine Yang, Jiang Caiping gradually fell out of favor and was demoted to Shangyang Palace, where she wrote a poem called "Lou Dong Fu". Li Longji returned the pearl out of guilt, but Jiang Caiping refused and responded with a song "Thank you for the pearl".
Jiang Caiping's ultimate fate is like duckweed and waterweed, drifting with the tide and unable to control her fate. During the Anshi Rebellion, Xuanzong fled without taking Concubine Mei with him, and Concubine Mei committed suicide.
6. Zhou Bangyan
Zhou Bangyan is a master of euphemistic poetry. He experienced the late Northern Song Dynasty in his life. Already talented at a young age, he was rated as "the top poet in poetry" by "Sikuquanshu". Ye Jiaying called him a person who "knits the north and opens up the south", and Wang Guowei called him "the old Du in poetry".
As a talented poet, Zhou Bangyan is most talked about by the masses because of his rumored love affairs with Li Shishi and Song Huizong.
The name of Zhou Bangyan comes from "The Book of Songs·Zheng Feng": His son is the Yanxi of the state.
"Bangyan" means the talented person of the country. Although Zhou Bangyan was quite talented in literature, his official career fell into the whirlpool of the old and new struggles caused by Wang Anshi's reform. As an official, he didn't do anything big, but as a lyricist, he was quite successful.
Finally, a poem by Zhou Bangyan is attached: "Su Muzhe·Burning agarwood"
Burning agarwood will relieve the heat. Birds call out for the clear sky, and they peek into the eaves at dawn. On the leaves, the sun rises and the rain falls, the water surface is clear and round, and the wind lifts them one by one.
My hometown is far away, when will I go? I live in Wumen and have been traveling in Chang'an for a long time. Do you remember each other in May? In a small boat, I dreamed of entering Furongpu.
7. Wu Jingzi
When it comes to Wu Jingzi, we have to mention his book "The Foreign History of Martial Arts", of which many people have studied "Fan Jinzhongju" in their textbooks.
Wu Jingzi was born into the Wu family in Quanjiao County, Anhui Province. Starting from his great-grandfather, the family has prospered. In the past fifty years, the Wu family has produced five Jinshi, one second in the first place, and one third in the top tier.
Wu Jingzi’s name comes from "Xiaoya·Xiao Bian": "Wei Sang and Zi must be respectful." In ancient times, mulberry and Zi were mostly planted near residences, and later became the name of their hometown. The mulberry here represents parents.
The meaning of this poem is that when you see the mulberry tree planted by your parents, you must respectfully stand in front of the tree to express your respect and filial piety towards your parents.
But Wu Jingzi was considered a prodigal son by his tribe.
Wu Jingzi was originally the son of Wu Wenyan, and was later raised as the heir to the eldest son, Sun Wu Lin. Because he could inherit more family property, this move attracted resentment and criticism from his clan members, and he was involved in the whirlpool of family disputes in his childhood.
When Wu Jingzi grew up, he lost the fight for the family property after his father passed away. After that, he lost his ego and completely destroyed his family fortune in just a few years. His wife also passed away in sorrow and anger due to a family property dispute. His views on life and society also changed. Finally, he spent his whole life writing a shocking masterpiece - "The Scholars".
8. Wang Guowei
When people talk about Wang Guowei, many people think of his human words and the three realms of life.
Wang Guowei, a famous scholar with international reputation in modern times, was first named Guozhen and later changed to Guowei. They all come from the sentence "The kingdom suppresses life and maintains the Zhen of Zhou" in "The Book of Songs·Daya·King Wen".
This poem is the first chapter of "Daya". It praises King Wen Jichang. The previous sentence is "Thinking of the emperor, Doshi, was born in this kingdom." It talks about the many virtuous and outstanding talents who were born in the Zhou Dynasty. . "The kingdom suppresses life and maintains the framework of the Zhou Dynasty." The kingdom relies on these pillars and officials to develop and prosper.
This poem was written in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was used to exhort the successors of the Zhou Dynasty to cherish and value talents so that the dynasty can maintain long-term stability. Wang Guowei, a talented person in the country, deserves this name.
9. Yuan Keding
Yuan Keding is the eldest son of Yuan Shikai. He has high hopes, but he is known as the first "cheat" in the history of the Republic of China.
Yuan Keding was born to Yuan Shikai and his original wife Yu. When naming him, he chose the words "Huan Huan, King Wu of Huan" in "Zhou Song·Huan", kept Jue's land, and conquered Jue's family in all directions. . ”
This poem means that the majestic King Wu has brave soldiers and generals, soothes the world, and the Zhou Dynasty is stable and prosperous. The name "Keding" has such a good meaning.
10. Liang Sicheng/Lin Huiyin
Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin are cultural celebrities of a generation and both are architects.
Liang Sicheng is the eldest son of Liang Qichao. Liang Qichao has nine children, all of whom are talented and have their own strengths. "One subject has three academicians, and all nine are talented."
As the eldest son, Liang Sicheng had high hopes from his father, Liang Qichao. When naming him, I deliberately chose a line from "The Book of Songs: Odes of Shang": "Tang and Sun played falsely, Sui I thought of success." "Sicheng" means success and perfection.
There is also an article in the Book of Songs, "Shang Ode to the Martyred Ancestors", which also contains the sentence "I am thinking of you". This can be understood as a nostalgia for the ancestors. The Liang family is also considered a wealthy family in Xinhui, Guangdong. Liang Sicheng lived up to his expectations and eventually became a master of architecture.
Lin Huiyin’s original name also comes from the Book of Songs.
Lin Huiyin, formerly known as Huiyin. It comes from "Siqi" in "The Book of Songs·Daya", "The great concubine Huiyin is Bai Sinan".
This poem is a work that praises King Wen of Zhou. Taisi is the wife of King Wen of Zhou. "Huiyin" here means good reputation and virtue.
At that time, there was a male writer named Lin Huiyin. People often mistaken Lin Huiyin for the male writer's name, so Lin Huiyin changed his name to "Huiyin".
