In the long history, are there really people who are unlucky because of their names?

Two years ago, some netizens broke the news that a pair of young parents in Xi 'an named their daughter "the glory of the king". Because it was too unconventional, I was repeatedly reminded by the police when I went to the hukou, but in the end I failed to make the young parents change their minds.

From a legal point of view, it is not illegal for parents to give their daughter this name, but considering the influence in reality, it is almost foreseeable that her daughter will face embarrassment in school, job hunting and life in the future and may regret it.

I hope the following story can bring some thoughts to those parents who are going to be named.

1. Can Qiantang have a rest?

During the period of Song Gaozong in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a scholar named Qiantangxiu in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, who was quite famous in the local area. The prime minister at that time was Zhao Ding, the representative of the hawks. At the beginning of his tenure, he actively planned the anti-gold plan, called on the world to recommend talents and enrich the talent reserve of hawks.

Taking this opportunity, Qiantang Show was recommended to Zhao Ding. Coincidentally, Zhao Ding is reading a border military intelligence alert. The front is in danger, and Zhao Ding's heart is very heavy. When he saw the name of Qiantangxiu, he was secretly surprised: "Qiantang, the homonym of money and Tang, is another name for Hangzhou, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Doesn't this name mean the end of DaSong? "

In connection with the deteriorating situation, Zhao Ding felt that the name was dangerous and abnormal, and he resolutely refused to hire Qiantangxiu.

The story is not over. A few years later, the plot took a miraculous turn.

The seventh generation descendant of General Zhejia is Zheyan, and his ancestors made outstanding contributions. He himself is a general with both civil and military skills. After the Song Dynasty moved south, Song Gaozong Zhao conceived the heroic performance of his father and brother during the Jingkang period and valued him very much.

Therefore, he was first appointed to the Privy Council, and soon he was promoted to the Privy Council to participate in politics and became Zhao Ding's deputy.

Due to the need of work, both names must appear in a memorial at the same time. After seeing the name written vertically, someone made such a prediction: "Look at the words Zhao Ding, I am afraid that the position of Prime Minister will change hands."

Paradoxically, Zhao Ding was later framed by Qin Gui, dismissed and exiled to Sanya, Hainan.

This indestructible reputation for resisting gold is really broken.

Second, Sun Baohe and Xing Kuan

Judy, the domineering Ming Chengzu in Ming Fenghua, was on high alert from the time she ascended the throne to her death because of her improper position.

Wang Shizhen, a literary giant in the Wanli period, once compiled a book "Emperor Ming Yi Dian". The book collects a lot of royal anecdotes, including such a story, which is enough to peep into Judy's sensitive inner world.

It is said that Chen Jia's scientific research in A.D. 1424 was the last scientific research conducted by Judy. Japanese taxi successor in Fengcheng County, Jiangxi Province won the championship in one fell swoop and was selected as the champion in the draft. When Judy decided on the list, Judy, whose eyes were dim, regarded the "daily work" written vertically as "violence" and felt unhappy at once.

Seeing Xing Kuan's name, he felt very comfortable and said to the courtiers, "This court only allows Xing Kuan, so why should Sun Bao?" Xing Kuan, who is lenient in sentencing, only treats my subjects leniently, and the world is peaceful and the people obey. "About knowing that the emperor mispronounced Sun Rigong's name, how dare you excuse yourself? Xing Kuan had to be remembered as the champion.

Judging from Xing Kuan's later performance, his demeanor is not so "wide". Xing Kuan is from Wuwei County, Wuhu. The Wuhu magistrate didn't think highly of his talent. He once said to a person, "Xing Kuan is like a bottle of vinegar that is not sour", which means that this person has a reputation as an acid scholar, but in fact he doesn't have much skill.

After winning the first prize, Xing Kuan felt that he should express his gratitude to the magistrate, so he wrote a poem to the magistrate: "Xing Kuan is just an old Xing Kuan, who takes the lead in the morning and worships the official at night." The news is that Huang Tangxian is a satrap, and now he has a toothache. "

Third, the ruthless son ruthless emperor

Whether it was Jia or Ming Dynasty, it was the suspicious and willful Emperor Jiajing who rewrote the fate of literati this time.

Zhu Houzong, Emperor Jiajing, admired Taoism and often dreamed and divined in his palace. Even when it comes to national talent selection, he decides the quality of the candidate by liking Hubei in his dream.

Let's talk about Wu, a scholar in Wuxi, Jiangsu. He is gentle, well-read and memorable. After failing in the palace entrance examination twice, he hoped that God would take care of him lovingly once, so he changed his name to light dance.

After changing his name, his luck really changed. In A.D. 1544, palace examination and Light Dance Chen Jia were classified as the first class. Seeing that the champion was coming, Emperor Jiajing frowned: "Is there a ruthless champion in the world?" As soon as the golden mouth was opened, the light dance was deprived of the qualification of the champion. After winning Flower Detective, he went to the Hanlin Academy for editing.

The candidate for the number one scholar has not yet been decided. Emperor Jiajing searched the scholar's papers and found a man named Qin. He finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the candidate who won the first prize in this subject." .

It turned out that Emperor Jiajing dreamed of thunder last night, and now the examinee named "Lei Ming" just had a dream.

Someone satirized the unfair palace exam and wrote a poem sarcastically: "A heartless person will take advantage of it sometimes."

However, Qin, who prospered because of his dreams, was not an idle generation. He was born in a noble family in Linhai, Zhejiang Province, and he is also a man with strong learning skills. He presided over the general revision of Yongle Dadian.

Unfortunately, the road of exploring flowers with light dancing has been suppressed and frustrated in officialdom. He had to resign and retire, and he could only teach in the countryside in his later years.

Fourth, the people are poor and shed tears.

During the Xianfeng period in the late Qing Dynasty, the imperial court could not bear the invasion of foreign powers and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement. Many people violated the emperor's sore spot because of their names.

Fan Mingqiong, a native of Hubei Province, ranked in the top ten in palace examination, but was only awarded a small principal position. According to common sense, such achievements will eventually get a job as a local county official, which Fan Mingqiong is puzzled.

He listened to people's encouragement and paid off the close ministers around Emperor Xianfeng with a large sum of money. Only then did he know the truth: it turned out that his name was pronounced "Everyone is poor" in Mandarin, and the emperor thought it was unlucky, so he deliberately suppressed him.

Fan Mingqiong decided to cater to the holy will and changed her name to "Fan Heming". All the people are in harmony. Isn't the moral beautiful? To his disappointment, Emperor Xianfeng, who indulged in the gentle village, never gave him a chance to call the roll in front of the temple.

Compared with Fan Mingqiong, the fate of Liu, a native of Chongren, Jiangxi, is even more tragic.

Liu was famous at that time and was summoned by Xianfeng as a five-product tongzhi. When the courtiers called the roll outside the temple, Emperor Xianfeng heard the name sound like "tears". When the country was in turmoil, this homonym made Emperor Xianfeng furious. In a rage, it was ordered that Dai Ding Hualing be stripped off and dismissed from office.

Poor Liu studied hard in the cold window for ten years and finally managed to get ahead. Finally, I don't know why he ended up in such a situation.

It is better to give your son a skill than to give him a skill. When parents give their children names, they also give them a unique hope. In this sense, giving children a loud and memorable name is not only the responsibility for their children's future, but also the responsibility of parents.
