Qianlong named his favorite grandson. The name is 12 characters long and means good things. Why is it so funny when translated into Chinese?

The name Qianlong gave his grandson was a typical Mongolian name: Orzhe Yitemur Erkebabai, which means "Iron Egg of Fortune and Longevity". This name has twelve characters, which surprised netizens. Such a long name is several times longer than others, so no one can pronounce it wrong, and its translation is really funny.

Although taken apart, "Orzheyi" means blessing, "Temur" means longevity, and "Erk" means iron, and the last two words "Babai" ” means baby. Taken apart, this name is very beautiful. They are all lucky words. But when you connect them together, it becomes "the iron treasure of good fortune and longevity."

And some enthusiastic netizens simplified it and nicknamed it "Fushou Iron Egg".

This grandson whom Qianlong favored got this name all thanks to his parents, because both his father and mother were people whom Emperor Qianlong valued very much. Qianlong was very happy that his favorite daughter had married his favorite prince-in-law, so in order to show his sincere love for this grandson, he had to do something for him. Emperor Qianlong thought hard and decided to give him some ordinary people. Something that cannot be possessed, so a "beautiful" name was born.

Choosing a name is a very important thing for the Chinese. The quality of the name can directly affect a person's own luck and future life. Emperor Qianlong personally named his precious grandson "Fushou Iron Egg" in order to have a bright future and show his love for him. This name is indeed good in his opinion, but it has caused a lot of discussion among netizens now. As we all know, Emperor Qianlong liked to write poems very much, and he also regarded himself as an emperor with "both civil and military skills". However, most of the poems he wrote were not very popular, so everyone had to doubt whether he was really talented as his grandson. Naming it instead of splicing those good words together makes the Chinese translation a joke
