1. Plain painting. "Bayi 3·8" "paints the facts after the fact". Painting is done plainly, which means that there is a white background first, and then the flowers are painted. "Su" means white background, and "Hui" means painting. This name implies the philosophy of life. At the beginning, everyone is a blank piece of paper. It’s up to you to draw a pleasing picture.
2. From Zhou. "Bayi 3·14" "It's so gloomy and literary! I follow Zhou Dynasty". The original meaning of "Cong Zhou" is that Confucius said: "I advocate the (ritual system) of the Zhou Dynasty." It can also be understood in context, such as "A gentleman does not compare with Zhou" in "Wei Zheng 2·14". "Zhou" here means unity.
3. Pure. "Bayi 3·23" "The beginning is like Xi Ruye; from there, it is pure like Ye, Qi Ruye, Yi Ruye". The meanings of these "×such" are all okay. For example, the late writer Zhang Chunru wrote a manuscript about the Nanjing Massacre.
4. Consistency. "Liren 4·15" "My way is consistent." The idiom " consistently" comes from this, taking the meaning of being consistent and persevering. For example, Ki Kanyuki, a poet from the Heian Dynasty in Japan.
5. Minxue. "Gongye Chang 5.15" "Sensitive and eager to learn, and not ashamed to ask questions, this is why it is called "literary"." This is how Confucius explained to Zigong the origin of the posthumous title "Wen" of the Weiguo official Kong Yu. By the way, the daughter of my former boss is called this name...
6. Sco. "Gongye Chang 5.20" "Again, it's okay." The whole chapter is about Ji Wenzi, a doctor in the state of Lu, who thought about everything many times before taking action ("Think twice before acting"). Confucius said: "It's enough to think twice."
7. Remarkable. "Gongye Chang 5·22" "remarkable success". Literary look.
8. Wenbin. "Yong Ye 6·18" "Gentle and gentle, then a gentleman."
9. Ren Jing. "Yongye 6·23" "The wise are active, the benevolent are still." This sentence comes immediately after the famous saying "The wise are happy in water, and the benevolent are happy in mountains."
10. Hongyi. "Taibo 8.7" "A scholar cannot be without generosity." It means ambitious and strong-willed.
11. Huanwen. "Taibo 8.19" "is full of articles". Huan, bright appearance.
12. Beauty. "Tabor 8·21" "brings beauty to the crown". It's said to be extremely gorgeous.
13. Zhuoer. "Zihan 9·11" "If you have something to do, you will be outstanding." The idiom "outstanding" means excellence and excellence, surpassing ordinary people.
14. Such. "Zihan 9·17" "The deceased is like a husband". Rusu means "like this". For example, Lin Yutang's eldest daughter is named Lin Rushi. (Lin Yutang has three daughters, the eldest daughter Lin Rushi, the second daughter Lin Taiyi, and the younger daughter Lin Xiangru, each with their own names.)
15. Siyuan. "Zihan 9·31" "If you don't think about it yet, how far away is it?"
16. Yiru. "Xiangdang 10·4" "Yi Yi Ru Ye". Pleasant and contented.

18. Mingyuan. "Yan Yuan 12.6" "...it can be said that it is clear;... it can be said that it is far away." Ming and far refer to seeing clearly and far.
