3. Li Siguang, a geologist in China, was originally named Li. 14 years old, with excellent results, was allowed to study in Japan at public expense, but when filling in the registration form, his age "14 years old" was misspelled in the name column. Because the form is not easy to change, he used his quick wits to change the word "ten" into the word "Li" in a few strokes, but the word "four" could not be changed. But the name "Li Si" is unpleasant and meaningless. What shall we do? He looked up and saw that there were four big characters on nave's tablet, describing the good deeds of Shengde, which were widely circulated. So he had a brainwave and added the word "light" after "Li Si", which was later called Li Siguang.

A friend told him the story of a monk who sat in a temple for thirty years and knocked a wooden fish into a deep pit.

But at that time, he was wanted by the Chiang Kai-shek government. If he uses his real name, it will implicate Ye Shengtao, and neither the owner of Novel Monthly nor the owner of Commercial Press is allowed. His mind is really in a painful contradiction. So he casually wrote the word "contradiction" as his pen name, but Ye Shengtao thought that the word "contradiction" was obviously a pen name and would still cause trouble, so he added a grass prefix before the word "spear". Since then, Shen Yanbing has been using this pseudonym.

There is another way to say these two words, that is, "give up me", that is, give up selfishness and personal interests, and also have the meaning of giving up who I am. Later, he took the first word in She Yu and added the word "Lao" as his pen name. 1929, when he published the novel Lao Zhang's Philosophy, he officially signed it as "Lao She".

"Bing Xin" is taken from the poem of Wang Changling, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: "Friends and relatives in Luoyang are like asking each other, and a piece of Bing Xin is in the jade pot". The reason why she chose "Bing Xin" as the pen name, she explained herself: "First, because the word Bing Xin is simple and easy to write, it means Zi Ying. Secondly, I am too timid to be criticized by others. The word Bing Xin is new. When people see it, they won't think that these two words have anything to do with Xie Wanying. "

12, Li Bai, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, is said to have caught a book of songs when he was born, which made his father feel a little embarrassed while he was happy: if his son really became a poet when he grew up, wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't have a nice name? So his father became more and more careful about the name of his son, so that when his son was 7 years old, he didn't give a name. Lipper
