We all know that Zhen Huan has two sisters in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", one is the third sister (Yu Rao) who has the same father and mother, and the other is Yu Yin (Huan Bi) beside her. Their names all have the word "yu" in them. Moreover, the daughters of the Zhen family are all "from jade to women", and even the daughter of the guilty minister, Huanbi, has the character "yu".
Zhen Huan, the eldest daughter of Zhen Yuandao, a favorite minister of Yongzheng. She entered the imperial palace at the age of 17. She was smart and shrewd, good at observing people's words and people's hearts, and was articulate. She was known as the "Female Zhuge". He is both shrewd and naive in his dealings with others; while he is gentle and generous, he can be cruel and ruthless at the same time. But as the legitimate daughter, Zhen Huan’s name doesn’t have the word “yu” in it?
Firstly; in fact, Zhen Huan’s original name was Zhen Yuhuan. Because our empress thought the name of Yuhuan was too tacky, she changed her name to Zhen Huan! The empress is domineering. When she was seven years old, she thought her name "Yu Huan" was not good. I felt that the word "jade", commonly found in my daughter's family, was too tacky, so I just didn't want it. These are mentioned in the original novel.
Second; Zhen Huan told the emperor the origin of her name during the draft. The origin of the word "Huan" is taken from the word "Huan" in "Huan Huan Yi Necks the Waist of Chu Palace"! It can be seen that not only Zhen Huan's life is extraordinary, but even her name is different and unique. So the reason why there is no jade character in Zhen Huan's name is actually to sound nice and unique. Try reciting it, does Zhen Huan sound much better than Zhen Yuhuan, but adding the word "yu" would make it a bit tacky!
Third: The Zhen family’s rule is that their daughter’s name is both Congyu and Congnu. "Zhen Yuluo" is the most typical Congyu Congnu. Although Zhen Huan's name does not have the character "玉", it does have the character "女", which shows that the Zhen family cares most about their daughter. The name "Zhen Yuyin" given to Huanbi is from a jade rather than a daughter. It can also be seen that Huanbi's status in the Zhen family is humble, and she is not born from the same father and mother.
Those who follow Yu and follow their daughters are the legitimate daughters of the Zhen family, while those who follow Yu alone are just illegitimate daughters of the Zhen family.
Zhen Huan gave up the word "jade" in her name, which was exactly the word Huanbi thought about most day and night.
Many names in the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" have special meanings, either as symbols of status or as hints of tragic fate.
For example, the three sisters of the Zhen family have different statuses, Zhen Yuhuan (Zhen Huan before she changed her name), Zhen Yurao and Zhen Yuyin (Huanbi before she got her name). The first two characters, Cong Yu and Cong Nv, indicate that they are direct descendants of the Zhen family, while the illegitimate daughter Huanbi is Zhen Yuyin, and only the word Cong Yu indicates that she is a concubine.
Different names also have different fates. The maid around Zhen Huan, Liu Zhu, was so eager to protect the Lord, but ended up bleeding to death after being struck by a knife. How tragic.
Although Zhen Huan and Huan Bi in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are both daughters of the Zhen family, they are legitimate concubines, which also leads to their different fates.
As the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Huan is a smart and intelligent girl. She has been the apple of her father's eye since she was a child. From an early age, everything in the family has been dependent on her, the eldest daughter Zhen Huan.
As for why Zhen Huan’s name did not follow the tradition of the Zhen family’s first-born daughter to be a daughter, but only a daughter? There is this description in the original novel of "The Legend of Zhen Huan":
Zhen Yuandao said to Zhen Huan: When your father calls you Huan'er, there are tears in your eyes. Although you are only 15 years old, you have been growing up since you were a child. I have an opinion. When you were 7 years old, you told me that you didn’t like the sound of your name, Yu Huan. You said that most girls have the character Yu in them, and you just didn’t want the character.
From this we can see the difference between Zhen Huan and Huan Bi. Huan Bi has been running for her own identity throughout her life. In fact, she is also a pitiful person, but she is too strong. Her biggest wish is to have a good identity.
That’s why she failed to seduce the emperor, and then she planned to marry Prince Guo. However, the marriage obtained by means of tricks was not happy after all, and she ended up crashing into a coffin and died.
How much does Huanbi know about the reason why Zhen Huan does not have the word "yu" in her name? Juan Bi was originally the daughter of the Zhen family but an illegitimate daughter, so she had to accompany Zhen Huan in the palace as a maid of Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan treated her very favorably, but it was a pity that her ambition was so high that it cost her her own life.
After Huanbi planned to marry the Queen of Guojun, Zhen Huan asked the emperor to add her sister's name to the Zhen family tree, and gave Huanbi a name with the character "yu" in it.
When the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the name they had planned, Zhen Huan asked Huanbi to choose a name she liked.
Although Juan Bi had the name of the daughter of the Zhen family, she still noticed the difference between being a jade and not a daughter.
When he saw that the names were all Congyu but not Congfei, he asked the eunuch who gave them the names with confusion, but the eunuch only said that he was doing things according to the rules.
Presumably this is what Zhen Huan meant, to let Huanbi know that there is a gap between you and me. The ordinary word "jade" can be given to you, but you cannot get the word "child". A concubine is a concubine after all. Even if you can Marry Prince Guo.
In the end, Huanbi chose the name Yuyin. The word "Yin" conveyed how much grievance and sadness it felt. But she finally got the word "Jade" that she had been looking for for many years. When Yu Yin was choosing a name, Zhen Huan also explained why she gave up the word "Jade". Zhen Huan said that she thought the word "Jade" was tacky and she didn't want it.
Yu Yin said that it was what she wanted but couldn't get. This sentence contained so much helplessness and sadness. What you desperately want to get is what others don't cherish! Yu Yin is tragic because she is obsessed with her own identity. In the end, the agency was too clever and ended up crashing into the coffin. It was her own misfortune and the injustice of the law. Because of her own opinions, Zhen Huan went from being innocent to being sinister. Perhaps she had no choice but to do so, or perhaps it was fate.
