What does Gu Shuji mean and how to use it?

We often see the names of many ancient people, especially those who are very old, which makes people feel strange. A large part of the reason is that the names of ancient people are very different from our current names. And we also know that the ancients would use "Ji Shu" to refer to the ranking of children in the family, but how to use it specifically is often confusing. So, how should Uncle Zhong Ji use it? How should he use it?

China ancient culture has a long history, and many idioms and allusions are widely circulated. We often hear the ancients use "equal" to describe equal strength. Lu You, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in the book of wrath: "A teacher shows his real name, and who is better than a thousand years." It means: a model is really worthy of the name. Who else can write such an immortal masterpiece as Zhuge Liang? Then, where do "equality" and "uncle Ji" come from, and what are their interpretations?

Twenty-six years of Zuo Gong: "Only show uncle's season". It means the order in which brothers rank. Bo (Meng) is the boss, the clock is the second, the uncle is the third, the season is the smallest, and the ages are orderly.

The original meaning of "Bo" is "a man without a brother", which means boss. The word "Meng" was commonly used in ancient times, but now it is generally called a man older than his father. "Bo, mind the housework." In ancient patriarchal society, the eldest son usually inherited his father's master status. As far as a country is concerned, the person in charge of state affairs. For example, the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, "Bo" and "Ba", are universal, meaning that the allies are regarded as hegemons, that is, the meaning of allies. After the Tang Dynasty, China's "Bo" became the title of official and noble.

The original meaning of "zhong" is explained in Ming Shi: "zhong, zhong ye, the position of the word is zhong ye." This name still remains in Yunnan white language. "Neutron" refers to the second son and "middle daughter" refers to the second daughter. Sima Yi, Zhong Da, ranked second. His eldest brother: Sima Lang, the word Boda; Third brother: Sima Fu, uncle Zi; Fourth brother: Sima Yi, whose real name is Jack Cater.

By analogy, "uncle" refers to youth, and is often used to address father and brother, while "season" refers to the youngest, not necessarily the fourth. Emperor gaozu Liu bang ranked third. Because the youngest, so take Liu Ji as the word. After he became emperor, he once proudly said to his father, "Now, where is a certain industry and which is more important?" It means I am older than my little brother.

The Analects of Confucius: "There are eight scholars in Zhou: Boda, Uncle, Middle Earth, Zhonghu, Uncle Night, Uncle Summer, Ji Sui and Ji? . "During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Jian named his four sons according to this trip: the eldest son named Ce, the word Fu Bo; The second son's name right, the word Zhongmou; The name of the third son is easy, and the word is comfortable; The name of the fourth son is Kuang, and the word Ji Zuo. Another preface to the Spring and Autumn Shouli: "Bo Huang, Huang Zhong, Huang Shu, Huang Ji and Huang Shao, five surnames in the same period, all rode dragons and posthumous title Wulong."

"Uncle Zhong Ji" not only indicates the ranking of brothers, but also indicates the order of things. For example, Li Yong, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "A Monument to the Friendship of the Dragon Crown": "Rites, Music, Poetry, Uncle Zhong Ji." It also refers to the four seasons: Meng Chun, Midspring, Ji Chun, Xia Meng, Midsummer, Late Summer, Qiu Meng, Midautumn, Qiu Ji, Mengdong, Midwinter and Jidong.

In ancient times, women didn't have a name before they got married. It was stipulated in Zhou Li that "men and women are unknown unless they have media". In order to distinguish, unmarried girls usually add the words Meng (Bo), Zhong, Shu and Ji before their surnames to distinguish their rankings. According to ancient books, Neutron and Ji Shu refer to Zijia's second daughter and her family's three girls. Therefore, it was not Meng who cried down the Great Wall, but the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.

See if there is "Uncle (Meng) Zhong Ji Shu" in your name. Don't make a mistake in naming children in the future. Please leave a message if you have any objection.
