The seven men identified by Dugu Wudi were all precisely the younger generation of the Dugu family. Dugu Zongheng had chosen their names such that the combination of the seven men's given names meant "Heroes and legends bravely rushing forward"! They were truly imposing names.
Dugu Zongheng had originally meant this to be the first line of a couplet, with the second line being "dragons, tigers, leopards, and wolfs flying through the heavens!"* He had been waiting for his three sons to work hard to complete the couplet, but he didn't expect that after the birth of these seven grandsons, only one precious granddaughter, Dugu Xiaoyi, was born.
