Names of ancient women in different dynasties
From the common point of view, the social status of ancient women is very low. Except for a few women who are active in the times like Xi Shi, Wang Qiang, Diao Chan and Moon Hee, most ordinary women can only leave a vague surname. So, we take it for granted that this is the case, and it has been like this for five thousand years.
After reading some historical books and referring to other materials, I boldly put forward my guess that before Sui and Tang Dynasties, women's names were respected, especially in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
According to the biographies of empresses in historical books, there were many empresses who left their names in the Han Dynasty. Lv Zhi, Zhang Yan, Wang Yi, Wang Yan, Chen Ajiao, Wei Zifu, Wang Wengxu, Xu Pingjun, Huo Chengjun, Wang Zhengjun, Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede in the Western Han Dynasty, and Guo Shengtong, Yin Lihua, Yan Ming, Deng Sui, Yan Ji, Liang Yan, Liang Nvying, Deng Mengnv and Dou Miao in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Some empresses can even have characters, such as Lv Zhi, the wife of Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty. Zhang Yan, the wife of Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, whose nickname was Jilan and Shujun, was well known, and women at that time were highly respected.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhen Shi, the empress of Cao Pi, the Emperor of Wei Wen, said that she was famous (obviously influenced by Luo Shen Fu) and that she was famous. However, there is no exact historical data to prove it. However, the four sisters of Zhen Hou are recorded in the notes of the Three Kingdoms: Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao and Zhen Rong. Cao Pi's second queen, Guo, left her domineering word: Queen (whose name is unknown).
When I was in junior high school, I saw a bunch of fancy and bright names such as Mo Qiongshu and Xue Lingyun on the unofficial history, and I was envious. They are all Cao Pi palace officials, but they are not in the official history. I wonder if the unofficial information is credible.
There are only a few female names in The History of the Three Kingdoms, but the Three Kingdoms didn't last long, and they were at war, so it is understandable that their names were lost, so they are omitted.
In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, all kinds of women's names were recorded in the history books, and it can be said that the flowers were getting more and more attractive.
In the Western Jin Dynasty, the first empress of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, was named Yang Yan, whose name was Qiongzhi; The second queen's name is Yang Zhi, the word Jilan, and the small character is male; His concubines include Zuo Fen, Hu Fang, Wan Zhuge ... The Western Jin Dynasty lasted only 5 years. The Book of Jin recorded the names of concubines such as Zhang Chunhua, Xiahou Hui, Yang Huiyu, Wang Yuanji, Jia Nanfeng, Xie Mei, Yang Xianrong and Wang Huifeng.
in the eastern Jin dynasty, there were about 16 people, including Yu Mengmu, Xiahou Guangji, Zheng Achun, Yu Wenjun, Du Lingyang, Yan Suanzi, He Fani, Wang Muzhi, Yu Daolian, Zheng Achun, Wang Jianji, Li Lingrong, Wang Fahui, Chen Guinv, Wang Shenai and Chu Lingyuan.
The situation in the Sixteen Countries was a mess, but many women's names were left in the history books: Zhang Huiguang, Zhang Liguang, Liu E (word Lihua), Liu Ying (word Lifang), Jin Yueguang, Jin Yuehua, Liu Fang, Du Zhu, Fu E, Yan Xunying, Li Jingshou, Duan Yuanfei, and so on.
In the Southern Dynasties, there were Zhao Anzong, Xiao Wenshou, Zang Aiqin, Hu Daoan, Zhang Que, Sima Maoying, Yuan Qigui, Shen Rongji, Yin Yuying, Lu Huinan, Wang Xianyuan, He Lingwan, Xie Yingmei (actually Princess Xincai), Wang Zhenfeng, Chen Miaodeng, Chen Farong and Jiang Jiandong. Qi has Chen Dao Zhi, Liu Zhirong, Pei Huizhao, Han Lanying, Wang Baoming, He Jingying, Wang Shaoming, Liu Huirui, Qi Lingyi, Wang Yanhua, etc. Liang has Zhang Shangrou, Xi Hui (Yongxing Princess Yuyao, Yongshi Princess Yuwan, Yongkang Princess Yuyuan), Ding Lingguang, Ruan Lingying, Wang Lingbin, Xu Zhaopei (Yichang Princess Hanzhen), etc. Chen Youzhang Yaoer, Shen Miaorong, Liu Jingyan, Shen Wuhua and Zhang Lihua. Look at the Northern Dynasties (Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi and Northern Zhou) composed of ethnic minority regimes. According to Wei Shu and Northern History, there are Feng Qing, Feng Run, Er Zhu Yinge, Zheng Dache, Lou Zhaojun, Li Zue, Yuan Hume, Mu Huanghua, Feng Xiaolian, Li Ezi, Yang Lihua, Sima Lingji, Zhu Manyue, Chen Yueyi, Yuan Leshang and Wei Chi Fanchi.
The above are just the names that appear in the biographies of empresses, and they are abstracted at a glance. Although there are inevitable omissions, it is already considerable.
However, during this period, there were many wars, and the history books were not necessarily detailed. There are many blank names in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. For example, the word "Ma Shi, the queen of Mingde" means that the name is unknown. According to modern people's concept, "Ma Shi, the queen of Mingde" can do it. Why add "taboo"? And this can be the evidence that women's names were valued at that time.
It is further speculated that if women's names were really valued at that time, would the names lost in official history be preserved in other forms? Suddenly I thought of the epitaph!
among the nearly 2 epitaphs unearthed in Shanxi and Luoyang, I found a long list of names of empresses that were missing from the official history: Gao Zhaorong, Li Yuanhua, Gao Ying ...
In addition, other female names were found on the epitaphs: Guo Huai, Shi Wan (word Jingzi), Feng Linghua, Wang Puxian and Yuan Ying.
In addition to history books, it is not difficult to see a lot of familiar or unfamiliar names from anecdotes or letters at that time: Zhuo Wenjun, Cai Wenji, Zhong Yan, Li Luoxiu, Xun Guan, Xie Daowen, Wei Shuo, Bao Linghui ...
Although these are just the tip of the iceberg, it is enough to show that women's names were valued in society at that time. Whether they are famous or not, whether they are active in politics and literature, their names and even words are clearly recorded in history books, letters or epitaphs.
Looking back (leaving aside ethnic minority regimes for the time being), we can find that female names appear less and less. Except for some talented women and famous prostitutes (such as Xue Tao, Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, etc.), the history books are almost monotonous "a certain surname", while the letters are "sending a certain surname".
The Book of the New Tang Dynasty leaves only five female names: Xu Hui, Wu Zetian, Shangguan Waner, Yang Yuhuan and Wang Zhu. The names of these five people are all due to their special experiences (there are related stories in history). There are six in the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries: Zhang Hui, Liu Yuniang, Song Fujin, Zhong Shiguang, Zhou Ehuang and Zhang Taihua.
there is no record of the northern song dynasty in p>167. There were only two Southern Song Dynasties in 149: Li Fengniang and Xie Daoqing.
there were three Ming dynasties in more than p>2 years: Ma Xiuying, Hu shanxiang and Guo Ai.
in addition to the history books, I also looked for the epitaphs of the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties (the epitaphs written by Er Cheng and Sima Guang can be found in their collections), and 9% of them only wrote their maiden name and husband's family name.
To sum up, I dare to draw a conclusion: ancient female names were gradually ignored after the Northern and Southern Dynasties
In addition, Mr. Zong Baihua once said that in Wei and Jin Dynasties, people liked to describe beauty with some bright images, which showed that they were pursuing a pure and crystal-clear personality beauty. The descriptions of beauty in Shi Shuo Xin Yu are "like a willow in spring" and "Xuan Xuan is like a sunrise", which can be used as evidence.
At that time, women's names just reflected this. In addition to Yuan, E, Ying and Hui, which have always been used to praise women, there are some special words that are mostly used in men's names in later generations, such as Hua, Ling, Zhao, Guang, Hui, Ming, Yan and Hui, which all represent bright and beautiful images.
At the same time, women's names in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were relatively less feminine. For example, Yu Wenjun, Yun Hui, Zhong Yan, Xie Daowen, Wei Shuo, Wei Chi Fanchi, Liu Jingyan, Jiang Jianyue and Xie Fanjing. Did the name of women at that time also pay attention to "the wind under the forest"?
