China people love jade, not only because of its warmth, but also because of its beauty. Yan is a beautiful jade, so it is often used in people's names to pin good expectations.
The word Yan comes from Shuo Wen Jie Zi, which says that "Yan is beautiful on the wall". Strictly speaking, inkstone is a kind of reed, which refers to the reed whose upper end is obliquely cut into a sharp shape. In ancient books, "Wan Yan" is often used to refer to beautiful jade. For example, in "Songs of the South", it is said that "you can suck the micro-liquid of the flying spring, Huai Huaying."
Wan is also a kind of GUI, both of which are jade names. The ancients often used the beauty of jade to compare human virtues, so Wan Yan was also used to compare the beauty of morality or rhetoric. Seven admonitions of Chu Ci said, "I hate white jade for my face, but I think it's my heart." That is to say, you are innocent and have a heart like jade.
"Bao Pu Zi Yue" said, "When you are in your arms, you will not spit out the beauty of hair and ink." In other words, I admire good character in my heart and write good poems. Inkstone is a kind of reed whose upper end is beveled into a sharp shape. Compared with the ordinary reed, Yan is sharpened at the top of the reed, which is sharper and sharper.
According to "Li Zhou Dian Rui", "words are expensive and easy to do, so as to eliminate embarrassment." Zheng Sinong said: "Yan Gui's sharp edge is detrimental to the image of conquering and punishing traitors, so it is easy to get rid of him.
People who do bad things do good things so that they can tell them. "Yan Gui is the King of Rui Festival, and Rui Festival is the Jade Festival, which refers to Jade Jeff as a token in ancient times. In ancient times, the tortoise was regarded as a symbol of conquering injustice. When the princes were unfair, the king ordered them to hold Yan Gui Festival.
