Contrary to rare extinct surnames, I think that having names of
historical figures is an asset; saving the hassle of going to Ch
Wp.

I happen to be the happy owner of a translation of 武經七書,
bought it on the street, afraid the poor translator didn't make
much money from his work. Highly commendable, his name is
Ralph Sawyer, Westview Press. I don't care for the content, but
his work really goes beyond the superficial layer. Not falling into
the semi-mystical interpretations that are so easy, but
acknowledging that archaic texts are just as technical as modern
treatises.
