Please give my child a nice name.
The importance of naming:
Mortals must be famous, and names must be divided into surnames and first names. Names are not only symbols of people, but also symbols of differences between people. Since ancient times, people have cherished their names, and our surnames and first names have gone through a long process of evolution before they developed into names that people are used to today. In ancient China, surnames and first names were not used at first, and surnames were used first, then first names, characters, posthumous title and so on.
The ancients said: "It is better to teach children a skill than to give them a thousand dollars;" Give him a good name, it is better to teach him a skill. "That's true. People in China always pay attention to naming. It is not unreasonable for China people to attach importance to names. In the eyes of China people, names are of great significance in people's lives, not just a symbol with no practical significance.
As a symbol, surnames and first names can't determine people's fate, but they always carry the information of the times, engrave cultural concepts, leave the brand of family lineage, condense parents' deep affection and ardent expectations for their children, imply different ideals, interests, hobbies and goal pursuits, and play a subtle role in life. Name is the beginning of family education, the information code lock of parents on their children's life prospects, and the "curing agent" to strengthen personal wishes or social responsibilities. Names full of life beliefs will regulate, function and influence people's lives.
Discussion on ancient naming
Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to naming. Gu Taisha Yin Wenzi said: Form should be named, name should be determined, and things should be proved. In other words, to observe and distinguish things from people, we must first name them before we can succeed. Xunzi once said: "A good name is a good name, and the path is easy without brushing." It means: a name has a perfect name, a name that is easy to understand and not misunderstood, and it can be said to be a good name. In order to give a good name, young parents always have to open a thick dictionary and rack their brains to find ways to give their baby a good name, just as Yan Fu, a modern bourgeois enlightenment thinker, said, "A month has passed since a name was established." In a certain social environment, a name can even determine a person's future and destiny. In the seventh year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, Wang Guojun, a candidate from Jiangsu Province, was among the best in the national imperial examination. He was honored to take the court exam, which was the first kind. Because empress dowager cixi saw that his name was homophonic with "the king of national subjugation", she was greatly dissatisfied and immediately ordered to be reduced to third class in the court examination. Wang Guojun was sent to Anhui as a magistrate and was discussed to teach. He worked as an instructor in Shanyang county for 20 years before he was elected as the magistrate of Yunnan county because of his outstanding talent. He died before he took office. In the 30th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, Liu Chunlin, a native of Zhili, took part in the scientific research, ranking among the top three scholars. Because its name "Chunlin" means spring rain, and its surname is homophonic with "Liu", it is very popular with Empress Dowager Cixi. She thought this man's name was auspicious and in line with her eternal mood, so she decided to pull Liu Chunlin to the first place and become the last scholar in the Qing Dynasty.
Li He, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, also suffered because of his father's name. When the talented Li He was preparing to take the national examination, some people slandered him, saying that Li He's father was called Jin Su, and "Jin" was homophonic with Jinshi's "Jin", which was taboo. Li is afraid to take the exam. More tragically, Cha Siting, assistant minister of rites in Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty, was ruined because of the name of the emperor. He took the sentence "Wei Minzhi" in The Book of Songs as an examination question, but was falsely accused of ulterior motives. He suggested that Yongzheng behead, on the basis that the word "Wei" was "Yong" and the word "Zhi" was "Zheng". In the end, he not only died in prison, but also was beheaded. Although this is closely related to the strict hierarchy in feudal society, it is enough to see the importance of names to a person. If you want to think of a good name, you must correct it first, and then you can speak it fluently. Su Xun, a famous person in the Song Dynasty, once wrote a typical work for his brother's name, entitled On Zhong Xiong's Ci and Fu. Su Xun's brother (second brother) is called Su Xun. After reading the Book of Changes, Su Xun thought that Brother Zhong's title was inappropriate and suggested that "Wen Fu" should be used instead of "Gong Qun". Su Xun discussed the philosophy of life in the article, and put his own life beliefs into it, which is a masterpiece with vigorous brushwork.
If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and sometimes they will leave a laughing stock and make people laugh. Wei Zhongxian, a great eunuch during the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, was originally a rogue, originally named Li Jinzhong, and later renamed eunuch Wei Chao to serve. He had an affair with Xizong's wet nurse Hakkas, and gradually took charge of the state affairs because the Hakkas gained Xizong's trust. He spread his wings, established his best friends all over the world, refused and attacked honest and loyal officials in North Korea, and oppressed celebrities in Lindong outward. Flatterers actually called him "Nine Thousand Years Old", and local governors built shrines for him to worship. Such a big traitor is unfaithful and immoral, and he has been notorious for a long time. How can Wei Zhongxian come to a good end because of Wei's inharmony? This was written by Qin Gui, a great traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty. Qin Gui is insidious, cruel in nature, likes to slander and persecute Zhongliang, and there are countless unjust, false and misjudged cases, among which framing Yue Fei is the most obvious. What he did coincides with his name "juniper", which is a kind of juniper, full of thorns and stinging people everywhere.
Although it is not absolute that a good name matches a good person, we should try our best to correct it, as Su Dongpo, an elegant and romantic, said, "There is nothing in the world except a name." Now, the young parents in the one-child family in our country are thinking hard and quoting the classics in their names for the sake of their children's lofty aspirations and career success. A good name contains an expectation.
The name is gold. Only with the awareness of name rectification can we get a good name. What is a good name? Although there are different opinions, there is a consensus that names, as a tool of social communication, should be tested by social practice. Names are not only a question of self-evaluation, but also a question of aesthetic and social evaluation of others. Names are rooted in China's excellent traditional culture, which meets the psychological needs of China people and reflects the aesthetic taste and national identity of China people. We should try our best to make people as they are called.
Ancient people had names soon after they were born, and they had to take characters when they grew up. The two men linked together and abused each other. Regarding the role of the two, Wang Yingkui, a native of the Qing Dynasty, once said: "The ancients named righteousness and said virtue." It means that names are used to distinguish each other, while words are used to express virtue. They have different properties and uses. Generally speaking, in ancient times, name was a kind of phased title. When I was a child, I called my nickname, but when I grew up, I called my name. With words, the name becomes something that should be avoided. If it is commensurate, it can only be called words, not names.
Names and words together constitute a person's code in most cases. Although the uses are different, there is still a connection between them. The ancients chose words mostly because of their names, and it was almost impossible to see the relationship between names and the content of words.
In addition to names and words, the ancients also used numbers instead of names. No. is a fixed alias, also known as "alias". As early as the Zhou Dynasty, people began to take numbers. In this regard, "Zhou Li" explained that number means "it is more beautiful to respect its name", which means that number is a kind of honorific title or a good title other than name and character. The early trumpet has this feature, and most of them are sages and scholars. For example, Lao Zi's nickname is Guang, and Fan Li's nickname is Li Yizipi. In the pre-Qin period, there were not many famous people. By the time of Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were still not many people taking numbers. The only historical records are Mr. Wu (alias Mr. Wu Liu) and Ge Hong (alias Bao Puzi). However, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with the prosperity of feudal countries and the highly developed culture, more and more people took names other than words and names. For example, Li Bai's Qinglian layman, Du Fu's Shaoling Yelao, and Bai Juyi's Xiangshan layman all belong to this category. In the Song Dynasty, the wind of taking numbers further developed. The well-known "Water Margin" 108 will have nicknames, representing the social atmosphere at that time. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people regarded numbering as a fashion, and almost everyone from the emperor to the common people had a number. As Chao Ling recorded in the book Shao Li Bian, at that time, "there were many people in the village, and there were only a few illiterate people, both mediocre and crazy, and full of pine springs. It's ridiculous to be a mountain for brothers, a water for brothers, a pine for men and a bamboo for men. Recently, women also have it, and people call it' an old man with curly hair like me', which is a pity. "Even some thieves who become outlaws have nicknames. For example, an example of a county magistrate handling a case in the above book is very telling. This example is about a county magistrate who accused the prisoner of excusing himself when trying a theft case. The prisoner suddenly said, "Don't be silly." The county magistrate didn't understand its meaning. After asking about it, I realized that the prisoner was calling himself another name.
In terms of words, fetching numbers is different from naming and writing, and most of them are not limited by the number of words. According to the known posthumous title, there are posthumous title No.2, posthumous title No.3, posthumous title No.4, and even posthumous title with more than 10 and more than 20 characters. For example, posthumous title of Zheng Banqiao, a painter in Qing Dynasty, is 12, that is, "Emperor Kangxi, scholar, Yongzheng, was awarded the title of Qianlong Jinshi". As for a religious mage named Shi Chengguo, there are as many as 28 posthumous title, that is, "Little Foshan, a monk in Wan Li, is in charge of the affairs of the world's famous mountains and rivers, and is also in charge of the wages of cranes." A person's nickname actually uses nearly 30 words, which is really a must in ancient and modern times.
Because ancient people chose numbers at will, they didn't have to avoid them, which stimulated the Ming and Qing people who suffered from literary inquisition and taboo to some extent, prompting them to choose other names to express themselves. At that time, most people took a nickname, but some people had several nicknames. For example, Shi Tao, a painter in the early Qing Dynasty, was called Hongji and had four aliases: Qing Xiang Taoist, Bitter Melon Monk, Di Zi Master and Blind Zun.
To sum up, the appellation of ancient people in China is far more complicated than that of modern people. They have names, characters and numbers. This coexistence of names and store names not only meets the needs of parties of different ages and occasions, but also adds new content to the name culture of China.
1. Name it. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics and Dividing Water: "In the eleventh year of the Han Dynasty, Jin Qiang was named Hou Guo, and later he set up a field in Si to collect millet, which was named Yangchangcang. There are sheep intestines in the mountains, northwest of Jinyang, and stones wander. If the sheep intestines are awkward, Kurosaka is named. " Scene 7 of Beijing Opera "Ode to the Longjiang River": "My parents gave birth to me and named me Pan Shui."
2. seek fame. Tang Hanyu's Textual Research on Cui Yu: "A man who is a husband today is an official who learns from his questions." Zhou Dunyi, a biography of Taoism in the Song Dynasty: "Huang Tingjian called him a man with noble character and no distractions, like a romantic. Cheaper than naming, but sharper than seeking ambition. "
Naming skills of dairy cows
Nomenclatology believes that a person's name is closely related to the zodiac. The so-called zodiac is the trunk of the year when a person was born. For example, Jiazi's birth year is mouse, ugly year is cow, and Bingyin year is tiger. In the zodiac, rats and cows, tigers and pigs, rabbits and dogs, dragons and chickens, snakes and monkeys, horses and sheep are combined; Rats and horses, cattle and sheep, tigers and monkeys, rabbits and chickens, dragons and dogs, snakes and pigs conflict; Rats and sheep, cows and horses, tigers and snakes, rabbits and dragons, monkeys and pigs, chickens and dogs harm each other. In the name, all "rush" and "harm" are fierce, and "combination" is auspicious. Therefore, when naming, we should try to combine the name with the zodiac to avoid damage. How to avoid it? This paper only analyzes the calf as an example.
Appropriate words to name dairy cows.
(1) Yu takes "grass" as the radical. Because cows live on grass, they are called grass, which means that they are rich in food and have a full inner world, and they will not worry about food and clothing all their lives. For example: Li, Hua, Zhi, Miao, Ru, Ping, Jing, Lian, Yi, Fu, Yun, Qin, Cang, Su, Fang, Ruo and Ying.
(2) radicals with "gangs" are like snakes; There are also radicals of "unitary", "bird" and "feather", because "unitary ugliness" is a trinity, that is, cows, snakes and chickens are commensurate with each other and help each other. For example: self, guide, match, west, omen, phoenix, autumn, Ze, Li, wheat, phoenix, flying, sword, phoenix, crane, sparrow, Ming, gull, warbler, pigeon, flood, cuckoo, ba, Mao and Xiang.
(3) The word "Mi" stands for cows resting under the eaves. For example: home, defense, security, treasure, stability, guest, macro, suitability, ten thousand, low cost, court, application, ten thousand and so on. However, the word "prison" means "prison" and should be used with caution.
(4) With the root of "field", cattle can graze or plow in the field in appropriate places, enjoy food leisurely or plow diligently, and do their duty and work hard. For example: A, You, Shen, Dian, Male, Boundaries, Apparatus, Thinking, Stay, Finance, Environment, Xinjiang, Miao and Lei.
(5) There are roots such as "harmony", "comfort", "son", "wheat", "rice" and "bean", all of which are the staple foods that vegetarians like. Those who lack cattle have the above roots, which means that they are rich in food, have enough to eat and wear, and will never be poor all their lives. For example: Xiu, He, Bing, Ke, Qin, Cheng, Zhong, Bing, Mi, Gu, Ji, Jia, Su, Ying, Ji, Mai, Mi, Liang, Zhen and Dou.
(6) There is a "cart" in the shape of the word, which means that a cow pulls a cart and has the meaning of upgrading to a horse. Although it is hard and tiring for the ox to pull the cart, it still accepts its fate, does not bear the burden, completes the task, is affirmed by its owner, and has the ability and responsibility to carry it out. Such as: Lian, Lian, Yun, Xuan, Yun, Lun, Qi, Qing, Shi and Hui.
Taboo words for naming people who belong to cattle.
(1) Avoid using the radical of "heart", because the word "heart" represents the heart and the main meat. Cows don't eat meat. If the calf's name has "heart" or "spoon", it is easy to feel depressed, but you can't eat meat. For example: heart, ambition, loyalty, kindness, constancy, kindness, benefit, intention, wisdom, and bosom, etc.
(2) Don't use the side of "horse" because "the green cow meets the white horse and runs away without fighting", "the bull's head is not right for the horse's mouth" and "the wind and the horse are irrelevant", and the cow and the horse punish each other, which is ugly and harmful in the afternoon. For example: Jun, Cheng, Ji, Teng, Ma, Feng, Xu, Du, Hua, Luo and Wu.
(3) Don't use the radical of "sheep" because cows and sheep are "hedged", that is, they are ugly and don't hedge. For example, the words "kindness, group, auspiciousness and beauty" are easy to produce signs of where you are going and unpleasant things.
(4) Avoid radicals such as "harmony", "towel", "clothing", "talent", "show" and "tie", just like wearing colorful clothes. If a cow wears colorful clothes, it will become a fire bull array instead of a sacrifice, and it will pay for others without regrets until it dies of old age. For example: Cai, Yan, Bin, Yu, Zu, Lu, Fu, Li, Hu, Qiu, Chu, Xiang and Pei.
(5) Avoid radical radicals such as Wang, Yu, Jun, Di, Da, Chang and Guan. People are afraid of famous pigs and strong cows. When the cow is big, it is easy to become a victim. For example: Ling, Mei, Zhen, Min, Li, Zhu, Qin, Qi, Rui, Ying, Yu, Zhang, Huan, Yang, Huan, Kui and so on.
(6) Avoid the "sun" and "mountain", because cows farm in the sun and become "wheezing cows"; It is also very hard for cows to walk on mountain roads, and it is difficult for cows to walk on mountain roads; In ancient times, the son of heaven sacrificed cattle to the sun. For example: Yu, Xu, Ming, Yi, Wang, Chun, Chang, Jing, Zhi, Hui, Xiao, Feng, Yue, Jun, Gang, Chong and Rong.
(7) Avoid the root of "show", which means sacrifice. Since ancient times, cattle, sheep and pigs have been sacrificed to heaven. As a cow, it is too expensive to sacrifice yourself and exchange your life for glory. It is best to avoid using words such as "gone with the wind", "standard" and "extraordinary".
(8) Avoid the roots of Yao, Shun, Yu, Yong and. The names of calves and former emperors such as Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang are taboo. When a calf calls you king, it will harden the cow, hurt the cow's health and weaken the cow's resistance.
In addition, some small "cow" babies should have names and tell everyone.
Examples of female names: Xue Zhu, Xuefen, Qingyun, Fang Qing, Wan Ruo, Wan Ru, Xia Qing, Qing Xue, Qinggui, Qingqi, Zilan, Cui Zi, Han Mei, Han Ju, Qiong Yao, Qiong Ying, Crescent Moon, Chunri, Cuiying, Cuiwei, Jingying, Jingfan, Bess and Bisong.
Examples of male names: Xinqing, Xinshu, Lyu3 bu4, Fan Fei, djinn, Hechen, Yelang, Mao Ye, Baiyun, Bailang, Lishan, Liyan, Keren, Keren, Danxue, Rangjing, Fan Jiang, Jiangyu, Bingchi, Gongle, Ren Fei, Renxin, Relocation and Prayer.
