What names or places were changed in ancient times to avoid the emperor's name?
For example, Qin Shihuang's name was Ying Zheng, and "the first month" was changed to "Duanyue"; Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty was named Liu Xiu, and the "scholar" was changed to "maocai"; Emperor Taizong took the name of the people, and the Tang people used the word "Dai" instead of "Shi" and "Min", while the word "Guanyin" was abbreviated as "Guanyin" and "Minbu" was renamed as "Hubu". The word "Five Blessingg" is not allowed in the imperial edict of Qianlong, in order to avoid the name of the emperor shunzhi Fu Lin. Sometimes we even have to avoid the queen's name, such as the pheasant in Lv Hou. When courtiers meet pheasants, they should all be changed to "pheasants". Another example is the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu, whose father's name is Du Xian. In order to avoid the word "immortal", Du Fu wrote poems all his life, but never used the word "immortal" in his poems. His mother's name is Haitang. Du Ji has no Haitang poems and no mother's name. Another example is Su Shi's grandfather's name "Xu", which means that the word "Xu" is taboo, so Su Xun did not write the word "Xu" and changed the writing place to "Yin". Su Xun's son Su Shi did not use the word "Xu" instead.
So, how many addresses and people in the history of China changed their names because of taboos? Judging from the current situation of Lekui, it can be said that there are countless. Let's select some famous people and talk to you about the addresses and people that have been renamed or renamed!
1. Jingzhou, Chuzhou
Qin Shihuang's father's name was Zi Chu, so the original territory of Chu was changed to Jing, and Chuzhou was changed to Jingzhou, which was completely recorded in the historical records of Qin Shihuang. Is there a basis for this kind of law? It turns out that "Chu" is the name of a shrub, which is very common in the mountainous areas of Jianghan Valley in the south. Can be used for firewood and other purposes, people can not do without it. In ancient times, Chu was called Jing. This is what we now call "the land of Jingchu".
Zhou Fan, Guangzhou and Jiangdu, Guangling
According to the records of the geographical annals of Sui Shu in A.D., in order to avoid the emperor's taboo, dozens of city names with the word "guang" were changed at once, including Guangzhou, which was renamed as. In addition, Guangrao County was changed to Donghai County, Guang 'an County to Yan 'an County, Guangdu County to Shuangliu County, Guanghua County to Hechi County, Guangling to Jiangdu and so on. Perhaps Yang Guang's reputation is not very good, and some cities will regain their original names in the future.
3. including countries.
If we just avoid the word "wide", we should avoid it now. Not only does he avoid "yes", but even the word "including" that looks like "yes". Volume 26 says: "Chuzhou, formerly known as Kuozhou, was founded in Tang Dezong. Because its name should be avoided and Chu Shi should see the difference between stars, it was changed to Chuzhou. Today's custom is mistaken for the' place' of' place'. "
4. Xuanwu Gate Shenwumen
Speaking of Xuanwu Gate, our first reaction was the bloody court change in the early Tang Dynasty for the sake of inheritance-Xuanwu Gate coup. There is no doubt that this gate opened Li Shimin's imperial career. The word "Xuanwu Gate" often appears in film and television costume dramas. No, the 3th episode was recorded after the hit drama was heard. Zhou Ninghai told Hua Fei, "The guards of the emperor and queen are already outside Xuanwu Gate." But the word "Xuanwumen" appeared in this TV series, which was a terrible thing at that time. When the Xuanwu Gate was rebuilt in Kangxi period, it was changed to Shenwumen, because the word Michelle Ye was taboo in the name of Emperor Kangxi Michelle Ye. Whoever said "Xuanwumen" in Yongzheng Dynasty was guilty of taboo and should be severely punished.
5. When Jiaxing was in the Three Kingdoms, Wu Huanglong was three years old, and Zizi was born in the county. The ruler thought Jiahe, so he changed the county name to Hexing. Later, Sun Quan appointed his third son, Sun He, as a prince, not only avoiding the word "harmony" but also homophonic. Zhen _ Chuan said: "In the first month of five years, he established his son as a prince, granted an Amnesty, and changed him to Jiaxing."
6. mengshan county, Zhengyi County, Chunhua County
Tang Xianzong and Mason Lee also need to avoid homophones. Said, "Ding Wei, change Guizhou Chunhua County to Hua Mu County; Mengzhun County is just a county. "
In the first year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, Song Taizong, was proclaimed emperor, and mengshan county, the county of Correctional Instrument.
However, Zhao Guangyi is reasonable and allows homonyms to exist. Change Yichuan County in Danzhou to Yichuan County, Yixing County in Changzhou and Yizhang County in Chenzhou to Yizhang County and Yibin County in Rongzhou.
7. Hengshan Changshan
The Chinese emperor's name is Liu Heng. After he became emperor, he not only renamed Chang 'e, but also renamed Tian Heng, the right minister of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Tian Chang and Hengshan as Changshan.
8. Jianye Jiankang
In 229 AD, Sun Quan, the emperor of the Three Kingdoms, made Nanjing his capital and changed Moling to Jianye. In the third year of XiTaikang, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, changed Jianye into Jianye. In the first year of West Jianxing, Sima Ye, his grandson, ascended the throne, that is, Emperor Jin. Because of taboo, he rebuilt his business as Jiankang.
As for how Jiankang later became the present "Nanjing", it was a matter of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Jiankang City was renamed Jiangning and changed back to Jiankang in the middle. When Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, he was called Yingtianfu. After Ming Taizu Zhu Di moved to Beijing, he renamed Nanjing "Beijing". The real name of Nanjing was in the orthodox period of Ming Yingzong.
9. Xiaogan County, Xiaochang County
During the 195s, Li, emperor of Tangzhuang, ascended the throne. Because his grandfather's name was Guo Chang, he changed Xiaochang County to Xiaogan County according to the earth-shattering stories of filial sons such as Yong Dong selling his body to bury his father, Fan Xiangwenbei and Meng Zong crying bamboo shoots. Xiaogan City, Hubei Province now has Xiaochang District under its jurisdiction.
1. Hanyin in Ankang, Guangde County in Sui 'an County and Dongguan County in Bao 'an County
In ancient times, we should not only avoid emperors and celebrities, but also avoid villains, which is what we call "taboo". Tang Suzong looked down on the villain An Lushan most, hated his surname, Ann, and changed all the city names to the word "Ann" at that time, so he changed dozens of city names in one breath. According to the biography of Wu Zhuzhu in Volume II, Ankang was changed to Hanyin, Anhua to Hue, Tongan to Tongcheng, Sui 'an to Guangde, Baoan to Dongguan and Anchang to Yichang. Some not only changed the original words, but also changed the homophones.
11. Wang Zhaojun and Wang Mingjun
Sima Yan, the Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, took the place of Wei and posthumously conferred his father as Emperor Wen. In order to avoid taboo, books at that time would change "Zhao" to "Ming". There is an explanation of "Zhao and Ye". Therefore, Wang Zhaojun, one of the four beauties in China, was married in the Western Han Dynasty, also known as "Ming Jun" and "Fei Ming". Later generations also use this expression. For example, Du Fu's Seven Laws of the Old Tang Dynasty recorded the phrase "Wan Chong Ling Valley is near Jingmen, and Mrs. Guang was born in a village where she grew up", and this "Fei Ming" refers to Wang Zhaojun.
12. Tang Xuanzong and Tang Huangming < P > We know that there will be temple names and posthumous title after the emperor's death, but in fact few people call the emperor posthumous title because of their taboos. For example, the temple name of Li Longji in the Tang Dynasty in Liyuan is Xuanzong, and posthumous title is Ming. In the Qing Dynasty, because it was forbidden to avoid the name Michelle Ye of Tang Kangxi and Tang Xuanzong, it was often called Tang Huangming, which was a last resort at that time.
13. Wang Wangchong and Han Ji.
Emperor Taizong proclaimed himself emperor, changed Guanyin to Guanyin, and renamed it Wang. It is said that later generations also made a lot of jokes because of the above name change: Du You, a historian in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "Wang Chong" in Wang Shi Chong, for example, and changed a space between the words "teacher". In the Tang Dynasty, when people wrote "Wen Jie Zi", they added a space after Han Qinhu wrote "Han Ji". Later generations didn't know that this was caused by the taboo in copying or copying, so they removed the spaces without authorization when engraving the book, which became < P > What's more, in order to avoid the word "tiger", the idiom at that time was changed from "never enter the tiger's den" to "never enter the tiger's den" and "draw a tiger without a dog" to "draw a dragon without a dog". What about the tiger? It can only be called "blade"!
Liu Ziyuan, Liu Zhixuan, Liu Zhiji
Liu Zhiji, a famous historian in the Tang Dynasty, was called "Ji" in his works, not his name, because his pronunciation was the same as that of the word "Ji" in Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. But in the Qing Dynasty, it was necessary to avoid Emperor Kangxi Michelle Ye, so Liu Zhiji changed its name to "Liu Ziyuan" in the Qing Dynasty. This change has caused many obstacles for people to read ancient books.
15. Express Express
Che was the aide of Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty and became the guest of the Prime Minister after Han Xin's death. It is said that Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty were his descendants. During the reign of Liu Che, he changed his name to Kuai Tong. : "Kuai Tong was taboo by Emperor Wu." Shigu Note: "This famous car, later historians have been chasing books and communicating."
16. Xue Daoyuan Xue Yuan Shen Xue
Xue Daoyuan, a general of the Southern Qi Dynasty, removed the word "Dao" and called him Xue Yuan only because he avoided the taboo of Xiao Daocheng, the king of Qi. However, when it was edited in the Tang Dynasty from 755 to 79, it was renamed Shen Xue because it avoided the name of Tang Yuan in Tang Gaozu.
17. Duke Wei of Qi Huangong
In the Northern Period, it was renamed Duke Wei of Qi in the Song Dynasty because Qin Zong was named Huan.
From the above example, we can see that many addresses and characters have been used since they were renamed, some of them have been restored to their original names over time, and some have used both. Moreover, except for the word "An" in the An-Shi Rebellion, everything else is "taboo". "Respect and taboo" is the mainstream of taboo. As for "taboo", most of them are unlucky words to kill people, and they are rarely used in place names. Therefore, there are few names or characters that have been renamed because of "taboo" in history books.
In addition, many people changed their surnames because of taboos in ancient times, and the most classic one is Qiu. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, because Confucianism and Confucius were highly respected, it was required that all books with the word "autumn" should be written less, and the name of autumn should be changed to "autumn" simply. Similarly, Zhuang's surname was changed to Yan because he avoided Liu Zhuang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty; Ji surname changed to Zhou; In Tang Xianzong and Chun-Li, Fu Chunyu changed her surname to Shan Yu to avoid taboo.
renaming because of taboos involves not only place names and names, but also food and fruit. For example, when it became famous in Henan, yam was renamed as "potato medicine". In the Song Dynasty, because it became famous in Shu, potato medicine was changed to its current name: yam. Another example is Qian Yun, the king of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, who changed pomegranate into "golden cherry" because "money" and "pomegranate" are homophonic. When Yang Xingmi, a contemporary of Ganyuan, occupied Yangzhou, the local people were afraid of offending him, so they changed honey into bee sugar. If you see cherry blossoms or honey in ancient books, you should know that it is pomegranate and honey.
