Nicknames, also known as nicknames, nicknames, are synonymous with flower names in some Chinese dialects. Chinese like to give people nicknames, sometimes to show respect and intimacy, and sometimes to express hatred and insult. The Three Kingdoms era was a chaotic era of heroes, what are the nicknames of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms? Today we take stock of the nicknames and provenances of Soochow celebrities:
Sun Quan - Sun Shiwan, Purple-haired Rats, Blue-Eyed Children
The meme of "Zhang Eight Hundred Great Breaking Sun Hundred Thousand" was basically played by netizens, so "Sun Hundred Thousand" became Sun Quan's first nickname. Although Sun Quan was a qualified politician and diplomat, the level of leading troops in combat was really flattering. Not to mention that in 215, he was greatly destroyed by Zhang Liao under the city of Hefei, and Sun Quan fought Hefei many times in his life, but he never succeeded, which can be called a hurdle that cannot be passed in his lifetime.
"Purple-haired rats" and "blue-eyed children" are the words that Sun Quan's hostile forces scolded him in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Pei Songzhi's note "Xiandi Chunqiu" records Sun Quan as "a general with purple hair (purple hair symbolizes the majesty of military attaches, not color) and is good at shooting horses and horses". As for the "blue eye" history book, it is not recorded, and it is not known where Luo Guanzhong got this clue.
Sun Jian - Jiangdong Tiger
Sun Jian is the father of Sun Ce and Sun Quan, and at the age of 17, he dared to single-handedly carry a knife to "beat" a group of pirates. Sun Jian fought fiercely, often put life and death outside the degree, every battle must be a pioneer, often the first person to climb to the head of the city, with this brave and invincible atmosphere, Sun Jian from a small official of low birth, became a prince of the late Han Dynasty, known as the "Jiangdong Tiger", even Dong Zhuo and his Western Liang soldiers were afraid of Sun Menghu.
Sun Ce - Little Bully King, Sun Lang
Sun Ce's nickname "Little Bawang" comes from the "Biography of Jiang Biao": Wu Jun's Taishou Xu Gong was listed in the Han Emperor' statement: "Sun Ce Xiaoxiong, similar to Xiang Yuan, should be favored and returned to Jingyi." If he is commanded to return, if he is left out, he will be afflicted by the world. "Wu Jun's Taishou Xugong gave a statement to Emperor Xian of Han that Sun Cexiao was invincible, similar to Xiang Yu, and should be summoned to the capital region as an official to show his grace, otherwise if he was allowed to go outside, he would be a disaster.
Xiang Yu called himself the King of Western Chu, and Xu Gong believed that Sun Ce's Xiao Yong was very similar to Xiang Yu, so Sun Ce's nickname of "Little Bawang" did not go away. In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Mr. Luo Guanzhong also successfully called Sun Ce "Little Overlord". Sun Ce later killed Xu Gong, the Taishou of Wu County, and Xu Gong's protégés ambushed Sun Ce a few years later while Sun Ce was out hunting.
Zhou Yu - Zhou Lang
Unlike Zhou Yu, who had a small belly and chicken intestines in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu was one of the main contributors to the military success and division of the Eastern Wu forces in the history of history, who was "virtuous", "elegant and elegant", and "practical and talented". He was praised as "the hero of the world, the beautiful husband of Jiang Zuo". The people of Jiangdong were very fond of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's gentlemen, calling them "Sun Lang and Zhou Lang".
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wushu Zhou Yu Biography": "Yu Shao is particularly interested in music, although after the Three Lords, there are mistakes, Yu must know, know must be taken care of, so sometimes some people say: 'There is a mistake in the song, Zhou Lang Gu.' Zhou Yunian was proficient in musical rhythm, even after drinking three cups of wine, as long as the player had some slight mistakes, he could detect it, and would immediately turn his head to look at the wrong person, so the allusion of "Gu Qu Zhou Lang" did not go away.
Gan Ning - Jinfan Thief
Ganning "has little strength, good Ranger". But he did not do his job, he often gathered a group of frivolous teenagers and made himself the leader. They swam around in groups, carrying bows and arrows, with bird feathers in their heads and bells on their heads. At that time, as soon as the people heard the bell ringing, they knew that Gan Ning's gang had arrived, and they were called "Jinfan Thieves" at that time. Later, Gan Ning suddenly woke up, began to read, and became one of the "Twelve Tiger Ministers" of Jiangbiao.
