As we know, single names were popular in ancient China, and surnames were one word (compound surnames were two words), so were first names. Like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wu Song, Song Jiang and likui jy, they are all single names. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there have been double names, such as Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Zu Chongzhi, Xie Lingyun, Li Daoyuan and Tao Yuanming. In the Song Dynasty, double names were very popular, even surpassing single names, and the royal family in the Song Dynasty was no exception.

Song Gaozong Zhao Gou
The annual college entrance examination and middle school entrance examination are all over, and some people on the Internet have sorted out a batch of eccentric candidates' names, such as Bai Fumei, Gao Fushuai, Mi Yue, Li Yuanfang, Du Ziteng and Chang Weiyan, and some of them are very domineering.
The online news is mixed. We don't know whether these names are true or not. However, from a common sense analysis, it is not impossible for parents to give their children such names. Do you think, both the children who took the college entrance examination and the children who took the middle school entrance examination are teenagers this year? As early as more than ten years ago, when these children were just born, everyone had never heard of "Bai Fumei", "Gao Fushuai", "Mi Yue" and "Yuan Fang". Only today did they happen to become social hot words, and everyone felt a little strange. Before, it was normal! What this edition is going to talk about today are the wonderful names of the royal family in the Song Dynasty.

Wonderful flowers are famous for their Dafa, and the royal family in the Song Dynasty had a good time. If you want to say weird, the following names are really weird. Please take a look at a list first:
Zhao doesn't stay, Zhao doesn't do it, Zhao doesn't learn, Zhao doesn't understand, Zhao isn't thin, Zhao is illegal, Zhao doesn't suffer, Zhao doesn't lose, Zhao doesn't mean, Zhao doesn't approach, Zhao doesn't go far, Zhao doesn't shine, Zhao doesn't go dark, Zhao doesn't advance, Zhao doesn't retreat, Zhao isn't vulgar, Zhao isn't fake, Zhao isn't angry, hellip; & hellip;
not vulgar, not cheap, not fake, not proud, the & is a little straightforward, and the meaning is still beautiful & mdash; & mdash; Good is elegant, not cheap is expensive, not fake is true, not proud is modest, elegant, noble, sincere and modest are all good names.
unrepentant, generous, unyielding and unyielding should all be names with a source. No regrets and generosity come from Zhouyi, and unyielding and unyielding come from Mencius. Mencius said: "Poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be bent. This is called a gentleman."
But look at the rest of the names. They don't stay, don't do it, don't learn, don't understand, don't know anything, don't be ashamed, don't understand, don't learn, don't ask, don't write, and don't be martial &; hellip; & hellip; Just name one, and it will make people black. What? Do you want to resign when you call "Zhao quit"? His name is "Zhao Unexpected", which means that if something unexpected happens, he won't live long. The name is "Zhao shameless". Is he a * * * character? Even someone called "Zhao doesn't go whoring", is it flaunting his life style? Parents give their children such wonderful names. Isn't it true that their children are not their own, but are sent by charging the phone bill?
From our modern eyes, the above names are really wonderful. What is even more amazing is that they are not the names of ordinary people, but the names of a generation of male members of the royal family in the Song Dynasty.
those with the word "no" belong to the children of the seventh generation of the royal family in the Song Dynasty.
As we know, in ancient China, single names were popular, surnames were one word (compound surnames were two words), and first names were also one word. Like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wu Song, Song Jiang and likui jy, they are all single names. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there have been double names, such as Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Zu Chongzhi, Xie Lingyun, Li Daoyuan and Tao Yuanming. In the Song Dynasty, double names were very popular, even surpassing single names, and the royal family in the Song Dynasty was no exception.
the founding emperor of the song dynasty was Zhao Kuangyin, who had two younger brothers, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Tingmei. You see, three brothers, all with double names. According to the law of naming men in Song Dynasty, whoever takes a double name, the previous word indicates seniority, and the same brother of the same family generally has the same previous word. So Zhao Guangyi was originally called Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Tingmei was originally called Zhao Kuangmei. However, when Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, in order to express his respect and fear, others could no longer use the words "Kuang" and "Yin", so Zhao Kuangyi changed to Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Kuangmei changed to Zhao Guangmei. Later, when Zhao Guangyi inherited the Great Unity, the words "light" and "righteousness" could no longer be used, and the third brother Zhao Guangmei had to change his name again, and was called Zhao Tingmei from now on.
Zhao Kuangyin is Song Taizu and Zhao Guangyi is Song Taizong. When Taizu was in office, the descendants of the three brothers had been arranged in generations. The son was the word "Germany", the grandson was the word "Wei", the great-grandson was the word "obedience" and the great-grandson was the word "world". For example, Mao's sons are called Zhao Dexiu, Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Delin and Zhao Defang, his grandchildren are called Zhao Weizheng, Zhao Weizhong, Zhao Weihe and Zhao Weiji, his great-grandchildren are called Zhao Congjie, Zhao Congchen, Zhao Congshan and Zhao Congke, and his great-grandchildren are called Zhao Shicheng, Zhao Shizhuo, Zhao Shi 'an and Zhao Shihui. However, as soon as Taizong acceded to the throne, he immediately started a new stove, allowing Taizu's descendants to continue to use the seniority arranged by Taizu, while giving his own descendants a separate set of seniority.
specifically, Taizong's sons are Yuan, and they are called Zhao Yuankan (later Song Zhenzong), Zhao Yuanzuo, Zhao Yuanxuan and Zhao Yuanfen (there are too many people, so the follow-up is omitted, the same below).
The grandsons of Taizong are called Zhao Yunsheng, Zhao Yunyan, Zhao Yunxi and Zhao Yunrang.
the great-grandchildren of Taizong were called "Zong", namely Zhao Zongshi (later Song Yingzong), Zhao Zongshu, Zhao Zongyin and Zhao Zongmeng.
the great-grandson of Taizong is called Zhong, Zhao Zhongqu, Zhao Zhongxian, Zhao Zhongpian and Zhao Zhongying respectively.
the great-grandson of Taizong is a scholar, named Zhao Shicheng, Zhao Shihua, Zhao Shifan and Zhao Shiwao respectively.
After Gao Sun, there is a generation of "No". Those wonderful names mentioned just now, such as Zhao is not stupid, Zhao is puzzled, Zhao is not ashamed, and Zhao is not whoring, are all descendants of Song Taizong's "No" generation. If Song Taizong is designated as the first generation, then these children of the "No" generation belong to the seventh generation.
There is a Huashan school in Jin Yong's novel the legendary swordsman. The head of Huashan School is Yue Buqun, and he and his fellow disciples are also "No" generation, such as Feng Buping, Cong Bubu, Cheng Bubu. Of course, these Huashan swordsmen do not belong to the royal family of the Song Dynasty, but coincidentally, their names have appeared in the seventh generation of Song Taizong &; mdash; & mdash; History of Song Dynasty &; middot; Zhao Buqun, Zhao Uneven, Zhao Not Abandoned and Zhao Not Worried in the Lineage Table can just correspond to Yue Buqun, Feng Buping, Cong Not Abandoned and Cheng Not Worried in the legendary swordsman. Perhaps when Mr. Jin Yong first conceived the legendary swordsman, he had just read the genealogy table in The History of Song Dynasty, and just remembered the royal names of several "no" characters and used them in the novel conveniently.
There were too many royal families in the Song Dynasty, mainly because they were afraid of overlapping names.
The question is, why did the royal family in the Song Dynasty choose names that looked particularly strange? There are three reasons:
First, when Song Taizong first ranked his descendants, the words used in other generations were all very good, but the word "no" was not very good, because no matter how elegant the word was, once it was put behind the word "no", it was not elegant. For example, Song Yingzong's real name is Zhao Zongshi, and there is nothing wrong with this name. However, if it is not a word generation, it will immediately become Zhao untrue, and the problem will come.
Second, after Song Taizong ascended the throne, he persecuted the descendants of his elder brother Song Taizu and his younger brother Zhao Tingmei, making the branches of the eldest and the third fall apart, and the population was not prosperous, while his own descendants rapidly expanded to an alarming number. By the seventh generation, there were thousands of people, so many people named names, and they didn't want to duplicate names, and they couldn't use the words used by the previous generation, so they had to choose some wonderful names.
Third, the meaning of ancient and modern words has changed greatly. For example, the word "whoring" that Zhao doesn't whore is very indecent now, but the ancient meaning means "frivolous". Those who don't whore are very stable and not frivolous.
As a matter of fact, Song Taizong's descendants have too many births, and they don't hear from each other, and they don't communicate well when naming names. Even if so many exotic names are used, it is inevitable that there will be a phenomenon of duplicate names. According to my rough statistics, at least seven of Song Taizong's descendants are called "Zhao Buqi", four are called "Zhao Buqi", and there are four "Zhao Buqiu", three "Zhao Buwu", three "Zhao Bufen" and two "Zhao Buconfused". When these people were named, they certainly didn't know that they would have the same name as other royal children, mainly because there were so many people that they didn't know each other. I'm afraid only the officials who managed the imperial archives could find out every "Zhao Bu & times;” Details of the.
Almost, Song Gaozong called Zhao Bugou
According to Records of Years Since the Establishment of Inflammation, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong was driven by the nomads from all over the country, and he met a royal son on the way. Gaozong asked, "Which branch are you descended from?" Answer: "Taizong that one." Gao Zong asked again, "What is your seniority?" Answer: "No generation." "Then what's your name?" Answer: "Zhao is not bad." Gao Zong was overjoyed: "Zhao's family is enduring, good name, good name. It seems that we have hope for the revival of Zhaojia Jiangshan!" I actually raised this Zhao on the spot.
In fact, according to the seniority, Song Gaozong is also a generation without a word, and he is the same generation as Zhao Bulang. According to the ranking, he should call others brother or younger brother. But he doesn't know this sibling, and he has to ask carefully before he can know the branch, seniority, ranking and name of the other party.
Some friends may say, "Nonsense, Song Gaozong's name is Zhao Gou, and there is no word" No "in his name. How can he be the same generation as Zhao Bubu?"
This is because the emperors of the Song Dynasty were more human and didn't want to give you any trouble. In order to reduce the burden of changing the names of their peers, since Song Zhenzong's generation, whenever a member of the royal family was made a prince or was made a prince, the old emperors would remove the word indicating seniority from their names and change the double names into single names. Song Gaozong belongs to a generation without words, and should have been called Zhao Bu-Gou, but his father was Song Huizong, the son of the emperor, and he was sealed as a king when he was born, so he changed from Zhao Bu-Gou to Zhao Gou.
