Why did the ancients choose names and font sizes?
1, the origin of ideographic characters. A epigraph refers to a name that expresses virtue or the meaning of a proper name in addition to its proper name. In ancient times, men were adults and it was not convenient to call them by their first names. Therefore, another alias related to the meaning of this name is called Zi to show its virtue. When mortals treat each other with courtesy, they will call it virtue. Later, the word was called ideograph.
2. Calling others is respect. "Book of Rites Tan Gong" holds that people need to be respected by society when they grow up, and it is disrespectful for peers to call themselves by their first names, so they need to take a word for themselves to use when interacting with others in society to show mutual respect.
3. the source of the number. No, it refers to people in ancient China who claimed to be beyond names and words. The source cannot be verified. But in vernacular, it means nickname. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, more people named their names, and in the Tang and Song Dynasties, a general trend was formed. In the heyday of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, not only did everyone have a name, but also a person could have many names.
The ancients paid attention to font size.
1, the name has the same meaning as the word. Names and words have the same meaning and can be called "tautology". For example, the word Qu Ping and Yuan has the same meaning as Guangping's. Yan Hui, the word Yuan, Hui and Yuan all mean water. Zhuge Liang, Kong Ming and Liang Liang all mean to shine.
2. Names and words have similar meanings. Names and words have similar meanings, but they are not exactly the same. It can be called "similar in meaning". For example, Lu Ji, the word Shi Heng. Machine and scale are the stars in the Beidou, which complement each other. Zheng Qiao, Yu Yuzhong, firewood is firewood, fishing is fishing. The two complement each other.
3. Names and words have opposite meanings. Names and words have opposite meanings and can be called "relative meanings". For example, Ceng Dian, the word Xi, the dot is a black stain, and Xi is white. Zhu and Yu. Light is morning and darkness is night.
4. Names and characters complement each other. Names and words complement each other, and words are the extension of the meaning of names. Both can be called "speculation". For example, Bai Juyi's word is Lotte, "Juyi" is the cause, and "Lotte" is the result. Only when you live in a quiet and peaceful place will you feel happy in life. Another example is Zhao Yun, the word Zilong. The Book of Changes said, "Clouds follow dragons and winds follow tigers."
