What interesting things happened with the compound surname?

When I was studying, there was a teacher with the compound surname Yuwen, named Yuwenfang, who taught English and was our head teacher. At that time, many of us didn't know that Yuwen had a compound surname. We thought her surname was Yu and her first name was Wenfang, so we called her Teacher Yu. In the end, she had to explain to us: Classmates, my surname is Yuwen, not Yu.

There used to be a female star named Yi Nengjing. At first I thought her surname was Yi and her first name was Nengjing. It wasn't until I read her interview later that I learned that her surname was Yi Neng and her given name was Jing. To be honest, the surname Yi Neng is very rare, and it is very similar to a Japanese surname.

I am a student studying Chinese medicine. Our professor’s name is Dongfang Zhouzi, and he is a famous expert in Chinese medicine! There are many famous professors in the music department of our university: Dong Guo Degang, Chun Yuqian! Xiahou Yaowen, Gongsun Yue! Sima Sanli, Gu Liangtian! There are also many talents in the cross talk performance department: Shentu Honggang, Murong Zuer, Yuchi Zhiqiang! Professional beauty and hair stylist: Zhuge You! Captains of the school gymnastics team: Nangong Luming, Yuchi Shangbin! There are also a pair of cousins: Yuwen Tianxiang and Huangfu Zhigao!

My surname is Ouyang, and it is still Ouyang in the family tree, but the word "Ou" is not added on our ID cards. When we write our names, we only write Yang XX. During previous interviews, the interviewer asked me if I had the surname Yang? Some colleagues around me and ordinary friends outside think that I am Mu Yi "Yang". Every time I see someone calling me by this surname, I have to explain it to them.

The compound surname of "Murong". But many people have changed their single surname to "Mu"!

The compound surname "Huyan" was changed to the surname Hu;

The compound surname of Yuchi was changed to Chi.

The compound surname "Chunyu" was changed to the surname Yu... and there are many more.

When I was in school, there was a boy named Duanmu in my class. But I don’t know why his surname is Duan in his books and school rosters. Later, in a history class, our teacher talked about compound surnames and mentioned his surname and said, "There is a classmate in our class with a compound surname. Should that classmate named Duan be named Duanmu?" We then learned that his surname was Duanmu. From then on, the boys in our class started joking about his last name. I would tell him at every turn, "Hurry up! Go and play with your piece of wood." Otherwise, call him "Carry the piece of wood."

My neighbor’s surname is Puyang. She is a Chinese teacher, but neither her students nor her colleagues call her Teacher Pu, but they don’t know that her surname is Puyang. Later she told everyone that her surname was Puyang and not Pu, but people still stubbornly called her Teacher Pu, and no one called her Teacher Puyang.

Later, I checked out out of curiosity and found that these two compound surnames existed in ancient my country. I feel that there are very few people with compound surnames around me now, and some have changed their surnames to single surnames. I don’t know if this is to save trouble.

In the book "Night Sailing Ship" written by Zhang Dai in the Ming Dynasty, he wrote a very classic joke about the trouble of having multiple surnames.

The general idea is this: Once upon a time, there was a monk who spent the night on a night ship with a bachelor. The bachelor talked loudly and seemed to be knowledgeable. The monk was so in awe of the bachelor that he didn't dare to stretch his body while lying down with his legs curled up. After listening, the monk heard the flaw in the scholar's words, so he bravely asked the scholar: "Excuse me, sir, is Tantai Mieming one person or two people?" The bachelor replied: "It is two people." The monk then asked Asked: "Then Yao and Shun were one person or two people?" The scholar replied: "Of course they were two people." The monk smiled and said, "It seems like I can still stretch my legs."

< p> I think this is the most classic and famous anecdote about compound surnames.

In my history, there was a big thing. This compound surname was Sima. Do you know the historian Sima Qian? Have you ever studied "Li Sao" in high school Chinese textbooks? This compound surname has something to do with his family? So what happened? So let’s take a look.

Sima Qian, a famous historian and essayist in Chinese history, later inherited his father's official position as Taishi Ling and compiled history. However, he was sentenced to corruption for defending Li Ling's defeat.

In 99 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted Li Ling to escort supplies for Li Guangli who was fighting against the Huns on the front line, but Li Ling declined. But he asked to lead 5,000 infantry to attack the Xiongnu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty admired his courage and agreed to his request.

As a result, Li Ling and others met the Xiongnu army head-on at Junji Mountain. The reinforcements from the Han army had not yet arrived, but the reinforcements from the Xiongnu were increasing in number. Food, grass, and weapons were all taken away. After killing more than 10,000 enemies, Li Ling had no choice but to surrender to the Huns.

Afterwards, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Long Yan was furious, and all the ministers accused Li Ling of his fault in the court. Only Sima Qian defended him, saying: "Li Ling was filial to his parents, honest to his friends, and full of heart to serve his country. Although he led 5,000 infantrymen this time and was defeated, he killed more than 10,000 enemy troops, so he can make up for the merit. Maybe he didn't really want to surrender to the enemy, but wanted to survive and find a chance to come back and serve the Han Dynasty." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty temporarily believed Sima Qian's words. Later, he also learned the reason for Li Ling's defeat and learned that it was not his fault, so he sent General Yinjuo Gongsun. Ao led his army to pick up Li Ling, but he didn't come back.

When Gongsun Ao came back to report, he said that not only did Li Ling not come back, but he also trained soldiers for the Xiongnu to attack the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very angry and ordered the execution of the Li Ling clan, which completely severed ties with the Han Dynasty. Sima Qian was also implicated and was falsely accused of "wanting to suppress the two masters and lobbying for the mausoleum". At that time, the crime of false accusation was a crime of great disrespect and should be executed according to the law. Considering the contribution Sima Qian and his father made to the court, he was spared death. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. In the end, he was sentenced to corruption.

Sima Qian’s wife is Liu Qianniang, the granddaughter of the famous general Li Guang, and her father is a talented scholar. In addition, she is Li Ling's cousin. It was Li Ling who brought them together. Li Ling and Sima Qian were good friends. When he learned that his cousin admired his friend very much after reading his article, he introduced them to each other and arranged their marriage. After the marriage, the two had a very good relationship. They respected each other like guests, played the piano and played the piano in harmony, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The family lived a happy life.

However, something unexpected happened, and the life of Sima Qian's family changed dramatically because of Li Ling. He was imprisoned, and Liu Qianniang went around looking for people to ask for help. Money is needed to maintain relationships, but Sima Qian was an upright official and his family could not afford 500,000 yuan, so he was not exempted from crime. After her husband was sentenced to death, some people advised Liu Qianniang to make peace with Sima Qian. After all, she was still young. She did not listen to other people's opinions and chose to stay with Sima Qian. Sima Qian was very moved by this. Encouraged by his wife, he decided to fulfill his father's ideal, endured the humiliation, worked hard, and continued to compile "Historical Records". This was the classic work that Lu Xun later called "the swan song of a historian and the unrhymed Li Sao".

It is worth mentioning that after Sima Qian was tortured, his two sons changed their surnames one after another in order to avoid disaster. The eldest son changed his surname to "Feng", and the younger son changed his surname to "Tong". Since then, he has remained anonymous and lived a low-key life. The behavior of the two sons is in sharp contrast to the behavior of his wife Liu Qianniang.

Later, Sima Qian's grandson Yang Yun dedicated his masterpiece "Historical Records" during the reign of Han Xuan Emperor Liu Xun. Therefore, "Historical Records" can be handed down.

By the time of Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, he "seeked to be granted the title" after Sima Qian, and became Shi Tongzi.

In the early 1990s, when I was in the first or second grade of elementary school, there were no extracurricular readings, parents rarely provided homework help, and information was not developed, so the things I understood were limited.

Once the students were discussing "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the classmates said: "What I admire most is that there is a particularly smart person in the Three Kingdoms." At this point, some people already know the answer. The classmate then said: "This man's surname is Zhu and his first name is Ge Liang. He's really awesome..." Half of the group of people laughed (they knew that his surname was Zhuge), but the other half was confused and said, "That's what they said." What are you laughing at?” (Maybe I really didn’t know that the surname was Zhuge, and thought we were laughing at smart people, not Zhuge Liang)

For people with the compound surname Yuwen, people who often encounter them will ask: Why is the surname Yuwen?

Feel like this is the hardest question in the world?
