Xi Menbao --> Ximen Bao

Ximen is the surname here. Not Xi.

西門姓
西門姓為漢字複姓。西門姓來源於春秋時期,當時鄭國有一位大夫居住於城的西門,其子孫便以「西門」為姓。

"Ximen Bao was a Chinese hydraulic engineer, philosopher, and politician."
Hanyu Pinyin: Xīmén Bào
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ximen_Bao

Also, GR writes his name as "Xi men Bao".


2) English Wp articles doesn't mention that he was a general, so perhaps we can make the def more concise by leaving that out.
