In 1912, the master of traditional Chinese studies, Zhang Taiyan, reported for marriage. He said that when marrying relatives, he should marry a Hubei woman, and said that the name of the child should be ancient to marry well, who knows that the daughters are adults, but they can't marry.
Zhang Taiyan, a first-class figure in china's modern literary circles, has many commendable deeds in his life, and he is a man of great contempt, and he is jokingly called "the madman of The Zhang of Shanghai Beach".
He is also very interesting in life. Mr. Zhang has had two wives in his life, and the first time is not the marriage that Ming Media is marrying. Only because he has epilepsy, he is a bit grotesque, and he has not yet married a proper child at the age of 25.
Zhang Taiyan's mother was really helpless, so she opened her face to the dowry queen clan around her and made a concubine for Zhang Taiyan.
With someone in the room, Zhang Taiyan seemed to have completed the task, more free of himself, anti-Manchu Qing, revolution, more than ten years have not been married.
Until I once chatted with a friend, I heard that the Hubei girl was very good, and on a whim, he directly opened a historical precedent from ancient times to the present: the first to publish a newspaper for marriage.
The general meaning of this marriage notice is:
I've been feeling a little lonely lately and planning to find a partner who can both talk to me and run a family.
However, if you want to match me, you must meet several conditions, first of all, you must be a Hubei woman; second, you must have the literary style of writing articles; third, you must be a famous and generous bridesmaid; fourth, you must be obedient and have no bad habits.
This reminds people of the marriage of modern men, the first and foremost must be appearance. Mr. Zhang Taiyan, from the door to the character quality, all require a connotation of beauty.
Friends asked him about the specific criteria for choosing a mate, and Zhang Taiyan said that when others marry their wives, they are eaten as rice, and I am used as a medicine. I think it is the first choice to marry a woman from the two lakes, followed by an Anhui woman, and the most unsuitable for me to marry must be a northern woman, but the Guangdong woman in the south speaks like a foreigner, which absolutely cannot be married.
Going around, Zhang Taiyan continued to marry Tang Guoli, a Zhejiang woman who could write poetry, although he was not the first choice of the two Lakers in his intention, but he spoke fluent E, and Zhang Taiyan could be regarded as a wish.
In 1913, Zhang Taiyan and Tang Guoli, who sang to each other, held a grand wedding ceremony in the Ai Li Garden Auditorium in Shanghai. Many great figures from politics and academia competed to attend Hexi, such as Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing.
Cai Yuanpei, a titan in the field of education, personally witnessed the marriage of the two, praising Zhang Taiyan and Tang Guoli as a true combination of literature and revolution.
Zhang Taiyan was a happy ah, in order to show solemnity, a change from the past sloppy and informal, the first time in his life was put on a straight suit and leather shoes.
I don't know if I was too excited, Zhang Taiyan's left and right foot leather shoes were actually worn backwards, and the top hat slipped off his head twice during the banquet, causing the guests to laugh in good faith, of course, everyone knows Zhang Taiyan's eclecticism.
After marriage, Tang Guoligan, who was originally a revolutionary, hid behind Zhang Taiyan's scenes and became the ordinary woman behind her husband.
Tang Guoli not only wrote his own manuscripts to subsidize the family and manage the household, but also served his mother-in-law and carefully taught The three daughters left behind by Zhang Taiyan's concubine Wang.
When Tang Guoli added two Lin'er to the Zhang family, Zhang Taiyan was overjoyed and named his two sons Zhang Dao, Zhang Qi.
These two names are easy to understand, and it is not unusual. But when the last daughter of the Zhang family was born, Zhang Taiyan followed the names of the previous three daughters, concocted the same way, and named them with ancient characters.
How did it start?
The eldest daughter is called Zhang, the second daughter is named Zhang Yi, and the third daughter is called Zhang.
(lǐ), is an ancient character, included in the Kangxi Dictionary, mostly used as a personal name, sparse and clear meaning.
叕, polysyllabic word - (zhuó) the ancient word for "affix", meaning concatenation; (yí) the appearance of a net; (lì) stop or system; (jué) speed meaning.
, polysyllabic word - (zhǎn) "exhibition" of the ancient word; (zhàn) very clever meaning.
The name of the younger daughter, Zhang Taiyan, must also follow the same principle, not only four of the same head, but also four prime ministers, but also ancient characters, and at the same time the meaning is deep.
Therefore, Zhang Taiyan named his fourth daughter Zhang.
, polysyllabic characters, (léi) the archaic word for "thunder"; (jí) noisy or crowded meaning.
Zhang Taiyan's name kung fu is really convincing. Even his wife Tang Guoli objected, and as a result, Zhang Taiyan smiled, and if he wanted to be the son-in-law of my zhang madman, he had to be very knowledgeable. I don't even recognize these simple words, which are wine bags and rice bags.
Oh, look, don't hide from you, the author himself also found the "Kangxi Dictionary" from the "Chinese Character Dictionary", and then to the "Explanation of Characters", only to roughly understand the pronunciation and interpretation of these words, which is not necessarily comprehensive and complete.
Let the author can't help but think of some modern names, such as the name of the child some time ago, the glory of the king, there are students in Chongqing colleges and universities called the Whampoa Military Academy, what strange names are there, and even called Japan, it is difficult to talk about ah.
From this point of view, Mr. Zhang named the child at least knowledgeable and profound.
But this name fulfills "The heavenly path is good for reincarnation, and the heavens have spared no one." One by one, the daughters have become adults, and there is no good son-in-law with outstanding knowledge to ask for a marriage, but the flower-like jade cannot marry out, which has become the old difficulty of the Zhang family.
Zhang Taiyan wondered, his own Chinese studies have deep roots, but also a famous door, why is there no matchmaker to say kiss? After inquiring several times, I learned that this matter was bad in the names of the daughters.
It turned out that the daughters' names were too strange for the matchmakers to read. Even the faculty and students of the Third Daughter's School called her Zhang Sigong. Aren't the other daughters called four, four, four?
Moreover, many young men can't read, if they go to the door to marry relatives and be laughed at by Lord Taishan, is this not another response to Zhang Taiyan's criticism of not learning and no technique? Which man dares to marry?
Zhang Taiyan is happy, well, this matter is easy to solve!
He hosted a banquet for many friends and family, and even journalists. On the spot, the pronunciation and meaning of the daughters' names were explained to everyone. Soon, the daughters married out one by one and found a home.
It is not easy to be a parent, but to plan for your children is far-reaching. It is related to the future of the child, and the name of the child must be meaningful and grounded, so it should be cautious and cautious.
