What's your name?

Some people think that a name is just a code to distinguish one person from others. However, most people in China believe that a person's name contains all the information of a person's life and destiny, is the hub of communication between heaven and earth, and embodies the intuitive consciousness of harmony between man and nature. Therefore, China people attach great importance to names, so they pay attention to the study of naming, thus forming a naming art.

Names can be divided into nicknames (birth names) and big names. Generally, newborn babies are named by nicknames, and some are called by ranking names. For example, Liu Bang's nickname is Liu Ji, and some of them are called by base names. For example, Sima Xiangru, a great writer in Han Dynasty, was nicknamed "Dog", while Tao Yuanming in Jin Dynasty was nicknamed "Creek Dog". Reveal some cultural psychology of China people with despicable language.

Nicknames are generally used inside the family, reflecting kinship and family happiness, and can also be used outside the family. Say it is special, it is used by good friends to express intimacy, but it should also be divided into occasions. If it is not excessive, it will lead to fatal disaster.

1, the name is not easy to repeat with others.

Think more when choosing words, and try to avoid super-common words such as "Hua, Ming, Zhen, English, Li and Hong". Of course, we can't go to the other extreme and deliberately search for those strange words that are extremely uncommon. Mr. Zhang Taiyan (Zhang) is a modern philologist who knows many rare words. He named his daughters "Gu Zhanzi" and "Gu Lizi". These two names will not be the same as others in the city, but few people know them. Of course not, so it's not a good name.

The second way to make names difficult to repeat with others is to think more about the collocation of words. For example, Zi Fang, Qi Chu, Yang Qian, and outspoken. The words chosen are very common, but the collocation is unconventional and gives people new ideas. Lu Xun said that "intention in a name" is the key to a good name. If we can use our brains to make the names of two or three words contain healthy, positive and other meanings, it will be a high level and a big hand. Several points implied in the name:

(1) Look for some connection between surnames and first names.

This connection can be meaningful, such as Miao Qing, teenager, ardent, blue, solemn, Lu Yao, He Wei, arbitrary, Yu Cong, Tian Tian, Zhang Gong, Shu Huai, Ma Zhiyuan, Zhong Dingwen, Wang Zhefan, Zhang Tianyi, Yu Deshui and so on. This connection can also be morphemes, such as Yi Yin, Ruan Yuan, Nie Er, Jin Xin, Shu She, Xu, etc.

(2) If possible, it is best to associate a name with an idiom. Such as, He Qifang, Ma Daocheng, Long Zhenghu, Lu, Ye, Mu Chengzhou, Yan Discipline, Gan Dang Ru Jiang, Zhuang, etc. Reminds people of an idiom, which is meaningful.

(3) More elegantly, the naming is based on a sentence in the classics of ancient books, which of course requires the naming person to have high cultural accomplishment and rich knowledge reserves.

Zhou Bangyan, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, has a beautiful saying that "Bangyan" comes from the Book of Songs Zheng Feng: "His son is the son of a nation." It means "he is a national hero!" " "

Zheng Zhenduo, a litterateur and writer, got his name from Zhou Li Chun Guan: "Four Ma Zhen priests, a group of officials making flags", which vibrated and knocked on the door; Tudor dynasty, the big clock used to announce religious decrees. Enlightening a priest is to educate the people.

Chu Tunan, a social activist, took his name from Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Tour: "There was a bird whose name was Peng, and then he went south." Tunan, this is an expression of lofty aspirations. 3. "Sweet and loud, easy to spread" is the third naming principle. Names are given to people, and it is of course necessary to discuss pronunciation. Naming should not only pursue elegant and meaningful meaning, but also be concise and lively, and also take into account whether the pronunciation is loud, pleasant and smooth. Li's and Li's, like tongue twisters, are not easy to read. If you want a good reputation, you can't just rely on feelings. You should understand why.

First of all, pronunciation should avoid "disyllabic" and "overlapping rhyme". We know that every Chinese character is composed of initials and finals. Disyllabic means that the initials of two words are the same, and "overlapping rhyme" means that the finals of two words are the same. The name is very short, usually two or three words, up to four words, and then the pronunciation is too monotonous. Moreover, the name is a personal choice, and it has full freedom and is not limited by ready-made vocabulary, so it is absolutely necessary and possible to avoid it. For example, Yi Yiyou, Hu Honghua and Ran Ruiru all have good meanings, but they all make disyllabic mistakes. For example, Deng Hengsheng and Ye Tiejie are particularly difficult to read because they rhyme. If for some special reason, we must pay attention to avoid the rhyme of surname and first name at the same time when the double-syllable rhyme of names cannot be changed.

Secondly, in the collocation of names and tones, don't take away all the flat and oblique words. According to the tone of Putonghua, it's best not to use all the flat tones, or to use all the ups and downs. This is mainly from the perspective of musical beauty. When naming a name, you should avoid homophones, especially not all words with rising and falling tones.

Finally, when choosing names and words, we should consider the homophonic relationship and try to avoid the ugly and unpleasant objective effects brought by homophonic words.
