Naming joke

Gan Long gave his grandson a typical Mongolian name: Elzheyitemuer Elkebabai, or "Iron Egg of Fushou". This name has twelve words, which surprised netizens. Such a long name is several times longer than others, and no one will pronounce it wrong. It is really funny to translate.

Although taken apart, "Elzheyi" is blessed, "temur" can live a long life, "Hongxing Erke" means iron, and the last two words "Babai" mean baby. The name is beautiful when opened, and it is full of auspicious words. When they are connected together, they will become "iron babies with a long life".

And some enthusiastic netizens simplified it and called it "the iron egg of longevity".

Qianlong's favorite grandson owes his name to his parents, because his father and mother are highly valued by Emperor Qianlong. Gan Long was very happy that his favorite daughter married his favorite Xu, so he had to do something for him in order to show his heartfelt love for this grandson. Emperor Qianlong thought hard and decided to give him something that ordinary people could not have, so a "beautiful" name was born.

For China people, choosing a name is very important. The quality of a name can directly affect one's destiny and later life. Emperor Qianlong named his precious grandson "Fushou Iron Egg" to show his bright future and show his love for him. This name is really good in his view, but it is talked about by netizens now. As we all know, Emperor Qianlong likes writing poems very much, claiming to be an emperor with both civil and military skills, but most of his poems are not well-known, which makes people wonder whether he really has the talent to name his grandson, instead of splicing those good words together and translating Chinese into jokes.
