 | | A Chinese courtesy name, sometimes also known as a style name, was a pseudonym that was used in place of a given name by educated Chinese up until the 20th century. |
 | | The relation between the zi and the given name is evident in the case of Mao Zedong (毛澤東, 毛泽东;), whose zi was Runzhi (潤之, 润之). |
 | | One character each of both Mao's given name and his zi relate to water (the common radical 澤, 氵; signifies "water") and beneficence: ze (澤, 泽) of the given name means "beneficence" and "marsh", and run (潤, 润) of the zi means "benefit" and "moisten". |
