In the eyes of China people, the quality of a name may determine your future destiny, so it is also very particular. Ancient people, too, made great efforts to choose names.
In ancient times, many people never met each other before they got married, just listening to the matchmaker whisper. So the first sentence this person hears is your name, which is also the first impression of you.
This shows how important a nice name is to a person, especially to a woman in ancient times. A good name may really affect your life and even change your destiny. Today I will talk about such a name, which is very special. Three people who took this name were chosen as concubines and married the emperor.
This is a good thing to honor the ancestors, and the family may prosper because of you. So are you curious about this name?
Three women named Lihua married the emperor. The first one is called Yin Lihua. This person can be said to be a famous queen. She is the descendant of Guan Zhong, a celebrity, and the wife of Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiuke is well known. This man is the first emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Xiu loved Yin Lihua very much before making any achievements. Yin Lihua is a very beautiful woman. People like Liu Xiu say that if you want to marry a wife, you should marry someone like Yin Lihua. This shows how much he likes her.
Yin Lihua was born in the late Western Han Dynasty, which was a troubled time. After marrying her for three months, Liu Xiu sent her back to her parents' home and went out to travel alone. When fighting abroad, in order to win the war, Liu Xiu had to marry Liu Yang's niece Guo Shengkun, but it was just a marriage without feelings.
Liu Xiu still loves Yin Lihua. As soon as he became emperor, he took Yin Lihua into the palace. Ready to make her the queen, Yin Lihua knew that she could not be the queen, so she refused decisively, which also left a deep impression on Liu Xiu and made Liu Xiu love her more.
Guo Shengkun was jealous of her, so she secretly made mischief, and Liu Xiu saw it in her eyes. Finally, she couldn't bear to abolish Guo Shengkun's position as queen, and Yin Lihua naturally took the position of queen and lived a stable life.
The second woman is Zhang Lihua. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the world was in chaos. Many emperors are also mediocre emperors, but many of them have very beautiful concubines. Zhang Lihua entered the palace early when he was a child. She's just a maid. Because she was so beautiful, she was naturally chosen as the imperial concubine by the emperor.
According to records, Zhang Lihua has beautiful black hair and a face comparable to that of Yang Guifei. Such a beauty is one in a million. Chen even lived a life of getting along with the emperor day and night. Since then, he resigned early and was obsessed with beautiful women all day long. In order to make Lihua happy, he spared no expense to make it big, just to make the imperial concubine happy.
Sometimes, beauty is a mistake. In turbulent times, coupled with the fatuous monarch, it was quickly annexed by the Sui Dynasty, and Chen and his imperial concubine went into hiding. But they didn't escape, and soon the soldiers of Sui Dynasty found them.
A beautiful woman like Zhang Lihua will be tempted when she sees it, and so will Yang Guang. He wanted to keep it for himself, but he had bigger goals and listened to the persuasion of ministers. Killing Zhang Lihua was a mistake and brought disaster to Zhang Lihua.
The third person is Yang Lihua, with a big background. She is the eldest daughter of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, a princess, and married Yu Wenyun as the queen.
Who knows that fate is unfair, Yang Lihua, who could have had a good life. My husband is really a bad king who is greedy for beauty. He is insatiable and wants to be the queen of all the women he likes. As the mother of a country, there is only one person who can be a queen.
But Yang Lihua didn't dislike her, on the contrary, she was very kind to her husband, and her generosity made others admire her. But good people will be miserable. As expected, Yu Wenyun died at the beginning, leaving her alone, but the country can't live without a king for a day. After some fighting, Emperor Wendi of Sui became the emperor's assistant, and she could also retire behind the scenes and live quietly on earth.
In this life, she didn't seek fame or profit, just wanted to live in this world, so after losing her husband, she never married anyone again and spent her life peacefully.
Almost the same name, but a completely different fate, giving people an unreal feeling. Therefore, even if you get a good reputation, you need your own efforts to fulfill your wish.
