In the past, in order to ensure the longevity of their children and grandchildren, some parents would deliberately give their children a common name, indicating that they were grounded and easy to support. Traditional Chinese culture has always had the idea of "afraid of folding the blessings", people maintain modesty and low profile, in order not to damage the blessings; the name is not high profile also belongs to the same reason, the ancients believed that the child's name to achieve too sharp, will self-denial, is not conducive to the future.
Of course, this statement is not absolute, and there are some superstitious ideas in it. However, parents name their children, in the final analysis, it is a good hope, which is common in ancient and modern times. Today to say is the most taboo word for ancient parents to take names, the ancient feudal dynasty lasted for more than 2,000 years, but only 3 people took the name (see the information, well known), ordinary people dare not try.
The word is "king." Isn't the word King very ordinary? That's for today. It should be known that in ancient times, there were large families with the surname of kings, and there were many people with the names of kings, but there were very few people named after the word "king". However, there are people who use "wang" as a word, and the more famous one is Guo Shi, the empress of Cao Pi, the Emperor of Wei. Guo's name is unknown, but her word "queen", which means "the king of the women", is quite domineering.
Before Qin Shi Huang coined the term "emperor", "Wang" had always been the highest ruler in people's minds. The princes of the Warring States period could not wait to be called kings after having a certain amount of strength, calling the king the highest level of glory, ordinary small countries wanted to be kings is unlikely, must be suppressed by the big countries, such as the State of Qi, which once fiercely opposed the king of the Zhongshan State.
The word "king" in the oracle bones resembles the shape of an axe and a sword, representing kingship. According to historical records, "The writer of the ancients, the king of the three paintings; the three, the heavens, the earth, and the man; and the one who participates in the knowledge, the king." "It is precisely because the king symbolizes an extremely noble status, so the ancients usually did not use this word to take names, for fear that their children and grandchildren would not be able to withstand it and fold their blessings." However, there are exceptions to everything.
In ancient China, the most well-known person who used the wang character was Luo Bin Wang. Luo Binwang's masterpiece "Goose", everyone has memorized it when they were in elementary school; Luo Binwang's personality is also quite domineering, and he actually dares to follow the army to fight against Wu Zetian, and he also wrote a "For Xu Jingye" that is full of emotion, brilliant literary style, strong appeal, and scolds Wu Zetian from head to toe!
What "the entrance to see jealousy, moth eyebrows refuse to let people; cover sleeves, fox charm can deceive the Lord", what "jackal into sex, close to the fox evil, mutilate Zhongliang, kill sisters and brothers, kill the king's mother", how sharp how to come. Although Wu Zetian was angry after reading it, he also praised Luo Binwang's outstanding talent in public. However, Xu Jingye was eventually defeated, and King Luo Bin's whereabouts were unknown.
The second was Feng Yewang, a chancellor of the Western Han Dynasty, a foreign relative, and his sister Feng Zhaoyi was a concubine of Emperor Yuan of Han. Feng Yewang was young and ambitious, and he dared to ask Emperor Xuan of Han directly for a position, saying that he wanted to be the commander of Chang'an County. However, King Feng Ye was not a clumsy disciple who ran rampant by virtue of his status as a foreign relative of mendi, and his character was admired by everyone at that time, but later the foreign relatives of the Wang clan rose up, and King Feng Ye resigned and died.
The last one, with the same name as Feng Ye Wang, was a minister and historian during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the ancestor of Gu Yanwu, a famous thinker in the early Qing Dynasty. Gu Yewang admired Feng Yewang's character and knowledge, so he changed his original name from "Ti Lun" to "Wild King". Gu Yewang was a literary master, with calligraphy, poetry, Danqing, and astronomical geography. He died at the age of 62 on the throne of Guangluqing.
