From ancient times to the present, naming children is a big thing, especially when naming girls, parents are eager to use up the beautiful words in the "Book of Poetry" and "Chu Ci", but in ancient times, some royal families gave their princesses names that people can't help but be funny.
Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had a recorded five daughters, namely Liu Yiwang, Liu Zhongli, Liu Hongfu, Liu Li, and Liu Shuo. Look at the name and guess it's a princess! Such a tough name is indeed very in line with Liu Xiu's painting style.
As Liu Xiu's son, Liu Zhuang inherited the "good genes" named by his father, and naming the baby is even more confusing. His daughters were named Liu Ji, Liu Nu, Liu Ying, Liu Ci, Liu Zhi, Liu Zhong, Liu Hui, Liu Chen, Liu Xiaoying, Liu Xiaoji, and Liu Xiaomin. It is estimated that there are too many children, Liu Zhuang does not know what name to take, so he takes the same word to reuse, and only then does the obvious lazy name of "Liu Ji transforms into Liu Xiaoji" and "Liu Ying transforms into Liu Xiaoying".
Liu Zhuang's son, Emperor Liu OfHan, also inherited the style of his grandfather and father, and his three daughters were named Liu Nan, Liu Wang, and Liu Ji. Moreover, he named his youngest son Liu Wanzai. This kind of name was taboo in that era. Sure enough, Liu Wanzai died a few years after he was crowned king.
Compared with the old Liu family, Sun Quan's name for his daughter is very clear. His eldest daughter is called Sun Luban, the character Big Tiger; the younger daughter is called Sun Luyu, the character Xiaohu. But Sun Quan probably hadn't heard the phrase "one mountain does not tolerate two tigers", and later the big tiger power fell for a while and killed his sister. It's a sad story.
Liu Yu, the ruler of the Southern Song Dynasty, the man known as the "end of the six emperors", named his daughter with simple and rude characteristics - Liu Xingdi, Liu Rongnan, Liu Xinnan, etc., and his wish was very simple, I wanted to have a son! So he really had seven sons. Of course, this way of naming is not the first of Liu Yu. There was a princess in the Eastern Jin Dynasty named Sima Xingnan, and after her, her mother did indeed give birth to two sons.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's naming of his daughter is also very big. He had 29 daughters, the youngest of whom, Princess Shou'an, was born less than a month ago, so she was not loved by him, and was also known as the Worm Lady, not even having the title of princess. After the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Xuanzong was forced to abdicate, and Li Yuniang took care of tang Xuanzong all the time. Tang Xuanzong was finally moved, and said to his grandson King Guangping, who had come to see him, "You must give Lady Worm a name in the future." Later, King Guangping became Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and made his aunt Li Yuniang the Princess of Shou'an, and gave her a husband.
Another example is Tang Shunzong's young daughter Li Shu, named Li Daizong'er. This magical name makes it easy to make people think of all kinds of associations. For example, Tang Dynasty Emperor is also Li Xuan's grandfather, so Li Xuan gave his daughter this name to express his admiration for his grandfather?
This is a very representative of the naming method of celebrity ideas, and Song Huizong also used it. The name he gave his daughter not only gave the impression of getting into the eyes of money, but also won by number. Zhao Yupan, Zhao Jinnu, Zhao Jinluo, Zhao Fujin, Zhao Hu'er, Zhao Fujin, Zhao Yuanzhu, Zhao Duofu, Zhao Jin'er, Zhao Jinzhu, Zhao Jinyin, Zhao Jingu, Zhao Jinling, Zhao Jinxian, Zhao Sanjin, Zhao Xiaojin... It is either gold or jade, or rich or pearl, is there a sense of déjà vu of an upstart? Is this still song huizong, a literary and artistic young man who wrote thin gold bodies and painted "Ruihe Tu"? It seems that in front of her daughter, even the most literary and artistic youth will become realistic.
Having seen so many strange princess names, is it subverting your cognition of these emperors, but there is still an emperor father who gives the princess a good name.
Emperor Wu of Jin's daughters were named Sima Xiuyuan and Sima Xiuli, Tang Gaozu's daughter was called Li Xiuning, and Princess Taiping Li Lingyue... There are still many beautiful princess names in history. However, compared with those high-end atmospheric princess titles, the ancient emperors in the name of this piece, overall still dropped the chain.
