1in the spring of 904, Song Ailin accompanied her father to visit Shen Yugui, an advanced and outstanding intellectual with profound knowledge in modern times. Shen Yugui received traditional feudal education in his early years, made friends with foreign priests in his middle age, and became interested in western learning. Later, he was the main author of the work "Shen Bao Museum".
During the conversation, Shen Yugui saw that Ailin was in her prime and had an extraordinary appearance, so she asked Song Yaoru what her daughter's name was. Song Yaoru said her name was Ailin, and Shen Yugui stroked her beard and said with a smile, "Ailin is a foreigner's name. We China people should have a China name. " Sima Xiangru's "Changmen Fu" says: Looking at the atrium from a distance, Su Shi has a poem saying: the lake is shining and raining, and the mountains are hazy and cloudy. The words "species" and "species" are interlinked, so it is better to change love into love and forest into age. It has both the elegance of women's names and the characteristics of China.
After listening to Shen Lao's explanation, Song Yaoru felt very reasonable. Song Yaoru thinks the name has been changed well. So the eldest daughter changed her name to Song Ailing, and the two sisters changed their names to Soong Ching Ling and Song Meiling.
