How important are names to people? Why is there an anonymous statement?

China pays attention to hundreds of surnames, and the name is the inheritance of a person, a family and a nation. So, when you say a name, is it important? If you forget your name, it means that you forget your history, your ancestors and your past, which means that your existence is incomplete. Without history, memory, background and memory, how can people have a future? Forget the past, forget the ancestors, how can we take the road of the future?

In ancient China, emperors were very taboo about names. They think that a cardinal word in their name can only be used on their own behalf and is very sacred.

We are in this world, people have different looks and different personalities. But when you describe a classmate in primary school, a friend in junior high school, an ex-boyfriend in college and a colleague in the company, you can't describe him with personality. In order to be concise, you can quickly search this person's information in your memory, so it is by name. Therefore, as long as we live, names will accompany us all our lives and become our labels. It is not only a reflection of our personality, but also a memory and trace of our past life.
