An embarrassing surname in history. Just because it is difficult to name, many women secretly changed their surnames.
As we all know, our country has a history of five thousand years. It already had a fairly advanced civilization as early as the Xia Dynasty. After thousands of years of cultural development, our country has a profound cultural heritage. Among them, there is a very special culture, which is the longest-lasting and the culture that everyone has to pay attention to. This culture is the surname culture. From the eight ancient surnames, with the gradual growth of writing and population, they slowly evolved into today's hundreds of surnames. Surnames have the same meaning for every Chinese person, and everyone has their own surname. In ancient China, only some very noble people could have surnames, so ordinary people could only be called Ergouzi and other nicknames. However, with the gradual development of the times, the popularization of surname culture is inevitable, so , Baijia surname is also an inevitable path for the development of Chinese surnames.
The development of surnames is mainly due to the stability of personnel surnames. If a person has a fixed surname, he will naturally not think about changing it every day. Gradually, he will have a fixed surname, and his relatives and friends will follow him. So the surname was passed down like this.
Even if it sounds ugly, it can still be a good name. However, with the development of society, some words have begun to be ambiguous, causing some surnames to begin to decline. Some words had no ambiguity in ancient times, but nowadays these two words are indeed quite embarrassing, so much so that many women secretly change their surnames because their names are difficult to pronounce. Today, the author introduces 5 "special" surnames to you!
1. The surname Diao
The surname Diao is actually a common surname in China. Among the hundreds of surnames, there was no ambiguity at the beginning when the surname was created, but now there is special meaning. In ancient times, the word "diao" was connected with the word "people", which together means "diaomin". You must know that "diaomin" is not that simple at all. It sounds like a bad person. So many people seem to have different meanings to the word Diao. I think people named Diao are definitely not good people. Generally, the word "diao" is associated with "cunning", "willful" and "picky". When someone is said to be "diao", it is often equivalent to insulting the other person. People with the surname Diao are generally distributed in the same area in China, that is, near Diaojia Village. This is also an inevitable result of the development of Chinese surnames. In fact, there are still many people using this surname in Hunan, Guizhou and other places. I hope everyone will not address each other with colored glasses.
2. The surname Lai
There are still many people with the surname Lai nowadays, and everyone thinks it is nothing unusual. But for people named Lai, they personally don't like such a surname. It makes people sound like they are cheating. Therefore, if you have just made friends, people with the surname Lai will give people a bad first impression, so they are usually reluctant to reveal their surname.
3. The surname Bao
I believe that when I mentioned the word Bao, many people were surprised. Are there still people with the surname Bao in China? In fact, the facts tell you that this surname does exist in China, and it also exists among hundreds of surnames. People with the surname Bao are also very difficult to choose names. If they are not careful, they will become Storm... Bao Shuang! Therefore, generally people with this surname are not willing to reveal their surname casually. But I have to say that there are still people who like this surname very much!
4. Cao’s surname
In fact, there are many opinions, but there are two most rigorous ones. The first one is an official position in the Zhou Dynasty. It is derived from the surname Ji of the Zhou Dynasty royal family. It is a surname given by the emperor and is also a surname that replaces the position. The second theory is that it originated from Cao Cao. The research results of the joint history and anthropology project of Fudan University show that the surname Cao is a descendant of Cao Cao or a direct grandson of Cao Cao. Of course, no matter which way you say it, there is nothing wrong with having the surname itself, but now there is a problem with people's thinking, which has caused the population of people to have the surname to continue to decrease.
5. The surname Ji
Comes from Gaotao, a saint. He was an outstanding thinker, politician and educator in ancient times. He is now recognized by the historians and the judiciary. The originator of justice is one of the "Four Ancient Sages" along with Yao, Shun and Yu. The word "chi" and "gao" are synonymous, so the surname "chi" came into being. At that time, it was a great honor to have the surname Gao. However, since the word "testi" had an additional meaning, this surname has become ambiguous. Like the surname Cao, the population has been declining.
Many surnames have been passed down for thousands of years. For example, Yao and Ying are among the eight ancient surnames, and there are still many people with this surname today. Of course, there are many surnames that have disappeared in the long history. At least 4 of the eight surnames in ancient times have not been passed down. Even if there are still people with these surnames, the probability is one in a billion. Of course, there are some nice-sounding surnames. Compound surnames like Shangguan and Ouyang are nice-sounding. There are also unpleasant surnames, which I won’t go into here. People (175) Ancient times (5) Surnames (50)
