There is a person called Huo Qubing in history. It is said that the origin of his name was given by the emperor.
Specific origin:
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing's sister Wei Fuzi was favored by Emperor Wu, and Wei Qing later became a general. Huo Qubing's mother, Wei Shaoer, is the sister of Wei Qing and Wei Zifu. In this way, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing are nephews and uncles. Due to the above relationships, Wei Shaoer was able to frequently visit Emperor Wu's palace. ?
According to legend, not long after Huo Qubing was born and before he had time to name him, one day, his mother took him to the palace to visit his sister Wei Zifu. There was a solemn atmosphere in the palace. People spoke quietly and walked softly. Wei Shaoer held Huo Qubing in his arms and patted him gently, fearing that he would start crying and alarm the emperor, which would be serious. Unexpectedly, Huo Qubing started crying loudly, which made Wei Shaoer tremble all over. He couldn't move a step. He had to stand there and wait for the emperor to punish him. ?
At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was lying on the bed. He had a cold and was in a coma. He suddenly heard a few baby cries of "wow wah" and was so startled that he broke into a cold sweat. Unexpectedly, the cold was cured by the sweat all over my body. He was happy for a moment and asked quickly: "Who is that?" When Young Master Wei heard this, he was frightened to death, but when the emperor summoned him, he did not dare not go. He could only hold Huo Qubing in his arms and walk forward, knelt down on the ground, and repeatedly called him "death penalty". ?
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw that it was Shao'er Wei, he gave her a seat and asked her to take her son in her arms. Emperor Wu held the child in his hands, Long Yan was delighted. He teased him in every possible way, and the child was giggling with laughter. Emperor Wu became more and more happy and asked Wei Shao'er: "Have you ever given the child a name?" Wei Shaoer hurriedly replied: "Not yet"! When Emperor Wu heard this, he laughed and said, "I have been feeling unwell recently. This child cried loudly, which made me break out in a cold sweat. The illness suddenly disappeared. So the couple named the child 'Qu Bing' after this. What do you think?" Wei Shao'er quickly fell down and kowtowed, saying "Thank you Lord Long for your kindness". ?
From then on, Wei Shaoer’s child was named Huo Qubing. Later, he conquered the Xiongnu and made great achievements throughout the world. He was awarded the title of General of Hussars and the title of champion. He was buried in Maoling after his death. People also build temples on the tombs, and incense is burned all the time, not only to commemorate his achievements, but also to hope that he will bring good luck and blessings, and ward off disasters and "cure diseases".
