My name is Wentao Xu. I am from China, a country with an ancient history. In Chinese tradition, my last name Xu came from my father. My first name was given to me by my mother and father. Went is a word in Chinese that means intelligent. They gave me this name because they want me to be a smart and wise man. Unfortunately, I am not very good at studying so far. I still love my name though because it represents what my parents expect of me, and it has a pleasant sound.
The characters of Wentao are 文韬. The structure os Chinese character is complex and difficult. Different characters are composed of different strokes. Even in China, there are still many people who cannot read or write my name because the character 韬 is complicated. 文韬 comes from a four-character Chinese idiom 文韬武略. it means mentality and force. my parent hoses the first part of this four-character Chinese idiom because they wish I can use my intelligence to solve problems. I am trying to live up to the meaning of my name.
Your name sounds have a long history, and I believe that you will not live up to your parents' expectations.
ReplyDeleteHi,Wentao. I am Heather.Your name sounds beautiful. I already knew you before, but I did not think deeply to your name. I only think about 文means smart.Then, I forgot there is a idom called 文韬武略. I believe you can do better and better in the future. No one is perfect,and you do not need to be perfect in study. However, you can be smart and amazing on something else. I mean smart is not only shows in study or grade, but anywhere. Try your best, and you will see what is your speciality.
ReplyDeletehi,tao,I think "smart" shows on different ways, not just for your grade，like your drawing is good.
