Liu had four sons, Liu Feng, Liu Chan, Liu Yong, and Liu Li. Among them, Liu Feng is the most special one, because he is Liu Bei's adopted son.
Liu Fengben's surname was Kou, and his mother's surname was Liu, and he was a famous monk in the Jingchu region. When Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou, he adopted Liu Feng because he had no children under his knees, but the specific time of this incident is not recorded in history. And since he is an adopted son, Liu Feng's name, is it Liu Bei's?
Liu Bei entered Jingzhou in the sixth year of Jian'an, that is, in 201. Liu Bei was warmly received by Liu Biao, the Mu of Jingzhou. Liu Bei was 40 years old at the time, and his position in the imperial court was Zuo General, which was not a small official, but he still had no sons. Therefore, it was probably at this time that Liu Biao introduced the Kou family to Liu Bei and let one of the Kou family's younger sons pass on to Liu Bei. So, how old was Liu Feng at that time?
According to historical records, in 212, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others took Liu Feng, who was in the early 20th century of the year, into the Shu War, and according to this time, liu Feng became Liu Bei's adopted son at the age of 10. After all, children who are too old are not suitable to be the adopted sons of others.
According to this inference, Liu Feng's original name was Kou What, we don't know, but when he gave Liu Bei a son, he was still young, so Liu Bei re-named him "Liu Feng". Combined with Liu Bei's own biological eldest son's name called "Liu Chan", the word "Feng Zen" was originally related, and it can also be proved that Liu Feng's name is Liu Beiqi.
So, what exactly does "seal" mean? The "Commentary" says that "Feng" is "the land of the princes", which means to split the land and seal the marquis, and who can do this, of course, is the Son of Heaven.
And what does Liu Chan's "Zen" word mean, the "Commentary on the Interpretation of Texts" says, "Zen", "sacrifice to heaven", "feng" and "Zen" these two words are connected, it has become a special ceremony of the ancient Tianzi to go to Taishan to worship heaven and earth - Taishan Feng zen. Moreover, the emperor who was not a great talent and had established a great feat of worldly miracles was not yet qualified to seal Zen.
Liu Bei later gave birth to two sons, one named Liu Yong and the other named Liu Li. According to the commentary of the Commentary on the Interpretation of Texts, "eternal" means "long", which can be understood as long. The interpretation of "reason" is "to rule jade", that is, the process of polishing a piece of jade into jade, and jade is an ancient ritual vessel for praying for national stability and social peace.
Looking through the explanations of these four words, and then connecting the names of Liu Bei's sons, we can see how domineering the four words of "Feng, Zen, Yong, and Li" are. And how ambitious Liu Bei is, it can be seen in these few words! But you know, when he named Liu Feng and Liu Chan in Jingzhou, he was just a defeated general under the fence!
Liu Bei's name for his sons was so "arrogant", so what was the deep meaning of his own name?
Liu Bei's name was raised by his father, Liu Hong, who had once been a county commander. Liu Hong has been an official, and has also been praised as "filial piety", which shows that his culture and insight are extraordinary, and the name he gave to his son is also very meaningful.
First of all, what is "prepared"? In the "Zhou Li Kao Gong Ji", it is recorded that "preparation" is actually embroidery, that is, painting and embroidering on silk fabrics. Therefore, "bei" is actually a kind of multicolored satin. In the Han Dynasty, there was no cotton in China, and people at that time, commoners could only wear hemp, and high-ranking officials and nobles could afford to wear silk fabrics, that is, clothes made of silk satin.
Therefore, the word "bei" contains Liu Hong's beautiful expectations for Liu Bei, hoping that he will be able to become rich and noble in the future and be a high-ranking official and nobleman. Liu Bei later became emperor, of course, he belonged to an extraordinary high-ranking official and nobleman.
