2. China geologist Li Siguang, formerly known as Li Zhong Kui. At the age of 14, he was allowed to study in Japan at public expense with excellent results, but when filling in the registration form, he mistakenly filled in his age "14" in the name column. Because the form is not easy to change, he used his quick wits to change the word "ten" into the word "Li" in a few strokes, but the word "four" could not be changed. But the name "Li Si" is not pleasant to listen to and has no meaning. What should we do?
He looked up and saw that there were four big characters on nave's big plaque, which read "Sheng De's good deeds spread everywhere", so he had a brainwave and added the word "light" after "Li Si", later known as Li Siguang.
3. Xu Beihong, a famous oil painter in China, was originally named Xu Shoukang. Once, he went to a relative's house to attend a wedding reception. Many rich children wear silk clothes, while Xu Beihong wears a cloth coat and is left out by others. Since then, he has become cynical and determined not to wear silk clothes. In order to make a living in society, he wants to go to foreign schools, but his father can't afford it.
So he borrowed money from others, but no one looked down upon him as a "poor boy", which made him feel gloomy in the future and miserable in the world. Just like Hongyan moaned, he changed his name to "Sad Hong" from now on. From then on, he was always proud of his sadness and anger, and he finally became a master of art.
4. Liu, a poet in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, was originally named Yang Ai, one of the eight beauties in Qinhuai, with both talent and appearance. Liu suffered family changes in his childhood and fell in troubled times. Liu is brilliant, unforgettable, considerate, proficient in poetry, chess, books and paintings, and has a high cultural accomplishment.
What is more commendable is that although he is in the dust, he has a strong patriotic feeling and the fearless quality of dying for his country, which makes Liu have a distinctive temperament. Liu Shiru read in Xin Qiji's "He Xinlang" that "I see how beautiful the green hills are, and I expect the green hills to see me like this", so she changed her name to Liu Shiru.
Among the eight beauties in Qinhuai, Liu is not the most famous. Chen Yuanyuan created the historical swan song of "rushing to the crown and being angry as a beauty". Li also has the beautiful love of peach blossom fans, but Liu, who is most respected by the world, is a strong-willed person.
5. Cao Xueqin, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, is the author of A Dream of Red Mansions, one of the classical Four Great Classical Novels. Cao Xueqin was born in an official family and lived a luxurious life. Later, when my family came down, I felt the warmth of human feelings.
Cao Xueqin created a great work "Dream of Red Mansions" through his years of hard work and profound cultural background. This work has left a decisive position in the history of China literature and even the history of world literature, and it is not lost to the works of famous writers.
Cao Xueqin is good at drinking and likes food. It is said that his favorite dish is "celery under the snow". Cao Xueqin often cooks this dish by himself after his family's fortune falls. This dish is fried with celery sprouts and shredded pigeon. Later, I simply took the word Xueqin as my name. This is the origin of Cao Xueqin's name, which comes from a famous dish.
