Regarding the protagonist's name: Lu Zhen
What is something that shines brightly, resembling a sun
Because 'Lu Sheng' is quite famous, being the sorcerer who deceived Emperor Qin Shi Huang, this is a tale of immortal heroes. Therefore, adopting a surname related to the legendary immortals and sorcerers from history feels more comfortable to me
Well, why do Tian'en and Tushihou use '旲' to convey the meaning of 'sunlight'?
Everyone can take a guess first, and then I will write it down later for you to solve the riddle
When one is on the mountain, there is a sense of stepping on the green hills and transcending them, which is the intention behind my choice of this word
The character 旲 has two pronunciations: *tái* meaning sunlight and *yáng* meaning large. Using the pronunciation 'tái' for a name signifies 'sunlight'. This corresponds with the name of the protagonist's father, as both brothers share the '日' character at the beginning, and both embody the essence of sunlight.
The character "仚" and the term "图书": In ancient times, it was associated with "仙" (immortal), referring to a person on a mountain, which extends to mean to elevate or raise high
Because the character '仙' is too common, as a large clan with hundreds of thousands of members, it is certain that among Lu Yan's ancestors, there were individuals who used '仙' as their name. To avoid offending the esteemed ones, having the same name as one's own ancestors, I pondered that it probably carries a somewhat troublesome connotation with the *图*书.
To give an inappropriate analogy, the names of the Ming Dynasty royal family became increasingly obscure and peculiar in the later period, to the point where they simply had to create characters out of thin air. This is generally the reason behind it.
The protagonist's uncle, the marquis, is named Lu Tan
Including the current Duke of Lai and Tu Shulu Yu, both of whom also have the character '日' at the beginning, this creates a very symmetrical arrangement
Later, I will write that the protagonist's father is named Lu Chan.
Why does the protagonist have the surname Lu
Why not use 'Lu Xian'?
Dàn: sunlight. It is often used in personal names. This is the explanation found online, and indeed, this character is frequently used in names.
