Can a name determine a person's fate?
The characters used in China's names are generally meaningful Chinese characters, which are not specific to names. Therefore, sometimes we translate people's names jokingly. French names are generally used in special words, except for names, which are basically not used elsewhere. Even so, the French name has meaning: the son's name is Adrian, which is the name of an ancient Roman emperor; The daughter's name is Benjamin, which means "the youngest daughter". In extraordinary times, some French people will deliberately choose names with political significance. For example, during World War II, French territory was occupied by Nazi Germany, and countless baby girls were named France. People expressed their patriotic enthusiasm in this way. Therefore, I was not particularly surprised when I met China's politically significant names such as "Weidong".
There is another interesting phenomenon: the superstition of some people in China is actually reflected in naming their children. Some people in China are small if their first child is a daughter and their families want their second child to be a son.
The girl was named "Zhao Di" (her brother's homonym). I wonder if it really works? What name should I choose if my second child is also a daughter?
Another puzzling phenomenon is that some people name their children and like to borrow the Book of Changes. According to the date of birth, and then calculate the strokes of the name, find the most helpful "good name" for his future.
Some people in Europe are convinced that the name a child takes will, to a certain extent, have a certain impact on his future life, career and future, and even determine his character. But people with a clear head will always understand that this is a very funny sentence: if so, does it mean that you don't have to study too hard or work too hard, as long as you choose the most "effective" name, you can guarantee a bright future? It's hard for me to believe that a person's name can decide his fate. In China, there are many people with the same name, but the fate of these people is quite different.
In recent years, some people in China seem to be more and more superstitious. It has been reported on TV that when an enterprise is building a factory or office building, it completely ignores the basic requirements of building safety or practicality because it trusts the opinions of Feng Shui master too much, resulting in serious hidden dangers. In addition, it is often reported that people have delayed the opportunity of effective treatment because they believe in the so-called "magic doctor". Some people are deceived because they believe the story of "fortune-telling experts", which leads to ruin.
It is said that a new industry has emerged in some places to help people "calculate" the most auspicious and helpful names. People who run such enterprises seem to be not much different from the above-mentioned Feng Shui master, imperial doctor or fortune teller in essence. Fortunately, they just use people's superstitions to earn a little money from their customers, at least it won't lead to serious consequences for customers to believe what they say.
But will this cause some people to blame their names without thinking when their careers are not smooth, and try their best to change their names at all costs?
A name is a symbol, but it is not just a symbol. Any name of any country is more than just a name. China people attach great importance to names, and most of them are given by their elders, who often give a meaningful name to express their sustenance or reflection. In ancient times, it was even more troublesome, and there were "characters" and "numbers", which had more meanings. This is China, and foreign countries are no exception. The names of Slavs we know ending in "Ski" and "Vichy" are very special from the beginning. So is the English department. In Titanic, when the engineer introduced the ship to the heroine, he said what "Titanic" meant (I can't remember the words like huge). It can be said that there is no random name in ancient and modern China and foreign countries. What's more, the "folk custom" culture in China is on the rise now, and it is necessary to measure the characters when naming shops. How can a person's name become a symbol?
