"Name" is destined to accompany us throughout our lives. But from our ancestors’ Zimei and Xi Ru, to our father’s Hongmei National Day, to our generation’s Li Ying and Wang Wei, and to the next generation’s Zijin and Xinyi, what happened behind the names with ever-changing painting styles? ?

Names are a reflection of the times. A good name requires not only the accumulation of literary literacy, but also requires us to maintain sufficient imagination. /267f9e2f07082838f197c9dcb399a9014d08f164?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

The names of ancestors are elegant and refined

Chinese people have always been very particular about naming. However, I always feel that some of the older generation’s names are quite nice and not artificial. Let me first take a look at the names of the ancestors of netizens:

@老狼老狼What time is it: "Qianxiu. My grandpa's name.

@runningcookie: "Shao Li , my grandfather’s name. "

Although the grammar is different, there is pride between the lines.

@ Mustard flavor will not be given to you: "My grandfather's name is Li Huan. ”

@小berry: “My grandfather’s name is Hongshan. "

@ Mustard: "The old man's name is Yuxuan, my grandpa's name is Jing'an; my grandpa's name is Maozhen, and my grandma's name is Dongqing. ”

@青村-笑: “Grandpa is Xi Ru and grandpa is Mu Qian. Everybody thinks it’s good. ”

The praise for the name of the ancestors is from the heart. First of all, it sounds good.

@淒川: “My grandma’s name is Yu Zimei, I think it sounds good.” ”

@Echojun: “Shen Fu, my grandfather’s name feels very literary. "

@[Logged out]: "My grandma's name is Sun Peng, and I feel she has a special sense of integrity! ”

@七喜’s feeling seems to be even deeper: “My friend’s grandfather is called Yuhe, which made me cry. ”

Of course, in addition to praise, there are also different feelings:

@猫~: “My grandfather’s name is Nian Xiao. He was the youngest in the family at that time. He said he wanted him to be filial.” The Gu family's name is Nianxiao, and grandma's name is Fenglan, which is quite elegant. I feel like I was really intellectually bookish at that time. ”

@ Orange said: “My grandma’s name is Yuxian. She looks like a lady to everyone. I like my grandma the most!” Grandpa's name is Yifa and he speaks seriously. ”/10dfa9ec8a1363276278d7fb9a8fa0ec09fac764?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

The general feeling is that the names of that generation are very particular. .

@HWJ: “My grandfather’s name is Gongda and my father’s name is Qishun. I feel that the names of the older generation are very artistic. "

@RabbitMonika's narration is full of stories: "Grandpa's name is Jingren! It turns out that he is a child from a wealthy family in Shaoxing, hey! "

Every name is special to everyone:

@郗?: "Grandma's name is Nianci. It warms my heart when I read it. ”

@桃花山下下 Bowl of Porridge: “My grandfather’s generation was called He Sheng, Yu Xiu, Pei Min, and the only woman was named Mu Zhao. It makes me cry. It was named after my grandfather’s father. The teacher at that time was very educated. ”

After reading it, I had to be impressed by the intellectual and bookish atmosphere of that gradually passing era.

In fact, naming people at that time was a very serious matter. , they are not randomly chosen, but are named according to the genealogy and the five elements and eight characters. They are named according to the generation, and they have many names passed down from generation to generation.

Within the code of ethics, there are nothing more than filial piety, loyalty, propriety, justice, integrity, and even a gentleman. Some literati chose names based on mountains and rivers, and expressed their feelings about plum blossoms and bamboos, so they would not appear very secular.

The names of the fathers’ generation are Daluhua

My parents’ generation seems to be particularly patriotic and caring for the people. The men are like Weidong, Weiguo, Jianguo, and Peace, and the women are like Ping, Qin, and so on. What plums are so fragrant! Although it doesn’t sound that good, it also reflects the characteristics of that era.

@ Sign of Change: “Grandpa Rongxian, grandma Shulan, grandpa Xijin. The names of the fathers began to become popular. Hong, Hui, love the people, Hongzhi! "

The name "Daluhua" seems to generally make people uncomfortable.

@egoist said: "Grandpa Yu Rongsheng and grandma Fu Shuying think they are good, very Republican. period feeling. My parents really don’t feel that way anymore. ”

@文SON also said: “My grandfather’s name is Enman, and my great-great-grandfather’s name is Chengshan. They are both named according to their family trees.

When it came to my father's and aunt's generation, I didn't name them according to the family tree, and it became something like establishing an army or establishing a reputation. ”

The unpleasantness is secondary, and that kind of name may make young people laugh at it in a non-malicious way./bd315c6034a85edfffdaebeb42540923dc5475a7?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600, limit_1/quality,q_85

These "Dalu" names have a certain degree of ***

@水瓜roll: "My grandfather's name is Xichen, from my father's generation. Just the waves. ”

@Hey Rabbit said: “My grandfather’s name is Junliang, and my grandfather’s younger brother’s name is Junyu.” My father's name is Jianming, and my uncle's name is Jianguo. ”

@ Melancholic Little Qiuku: “Victory, founding of the People’s Republic of China, National Day, red plums, cuckoos, etc. flashed through my mind. ”

Names are also afraid of comparison.

@毛达松的natural state: “Yanqing, my grandfather.” I was shocked when I first learned my grandfather's name. Because my father and my aunt’s names are like Jianguo or something like that above. ”

@Pangebo: “My grandfather’s name is? "

@不?: "Grandpa keeps his business, grandma Guilian, grandpa Yuqing, grandma Jiarong; Taizu Qingshan and Yushan. My mother is born with the surname Bao, and my father and I both have one-letter names, which is really cool. "

@饕餮鱼: "My grandfather's name seems to be Lanting, and there are also characters. When my father and my aunt called for Jianjun, Jianguo, and Ping, the situation exploded. ”

@黄Xuan’s wife: “Grandpa’s name is Enji and grandma’s name is Jingzhen. It was my dad's turn to be very tacky. It seems that I heard my dad say that the names were changed in response to the country in a certain year, and they were all changed to something related to New China. ”

Indeed, a name reflects an era.

@斯菲: This change comes from the word “chaos”: “My grandpa’s family has been studying for generations, and everyone in the family has Corresponding words. Grandpa's name is "Kai Gong Ming Yi", grandpa's name is Kai Xian (peer Kai Zhe Kai Yuan, etc.); uncle's name is Gong Guo (meritorious service, meritorious service); peers Ming Feng, Ming Yu, Ming Ye; juniors started to say It’s a pity that even though we are the generation with the word “righteousness”, they are all in confusion [bye bye]. "

Why do people no longer pay attention to names and choose names randomly?

@老黑 Dusuoxin's words seem to be from the background of that era: "Personally, The generation that named our grandparents came from the Qing Dynasty. Their edification and interpretation of traditional culture was already on a much higher level than modern people. Coupled with the social environment and atmosphere, it is not surprising to have such a name. As for our parents, they happened to catch up with the founding of the People's Republic of China and a specific historical period, so it is normal for their names to become increasingly ugly~"

Our names cannot bear to be looked at

The "main road" after the chaos seems to have a far-reaching impact. Once the rules are broken, it is difficult to continue.

@ Duan Lulu168: "Grandpa Jinglin, grandma Qiu Ge. My grandfather was a scholar. My father’s generation was all Cantonese-speaking, but ours was a mess. "

It seems that he doesn't want to mention his own name, and hesitates to speak. Maybe, if he talks too much, he will shed tears.

@黑猫小roll: " Grandpa's name is Zhongtan, and my father's name is Qingsu. I think they are both good, but when it comes to my..."

@ Teletubbies Picking Mushrooms: "Grandma's name is Jinghui, grandma's sister Called Jinglan. My name, unfortunately, is not very good. ”

How come it has become indescribable in our generation? Let’s first look at a data compiled by the People’s Daily as early as 2014: /503d269759ee3d6d5cae920348166d224e4ade89?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit, w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85/6a63f6246b600c339911cb00114c510fd8f9a189?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85/b17eca8065380cd7af8bb 725aa44ad3458828164?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450, h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85

Will such a bad street name still sound as good as before?

Some people lamented: In another 20 years, there will be no one on the street. Zihan, who was right, took Xinyi and fell in love; 30 years later, a bunch of Zihan and Xinyi were helping their children to name...

< p>Contemporary people have academic qualifications but no culture

The phenomenon of people with the same name on the street also reflects the lack of humanistic quality of contemporary Chinese people.

In the Republic of China, there were very few people who could read and write. In the Tang Dynasty, those who could read and write only accounted for 2% of the population. Reading for one person was often the result of the labor support of the whole family, or even a family. , just imagine how can such a person not study hard?

They are all familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and even the three teachings and nine streams are not forgotten as long as they are books.

This is because those who can read have been eliminated, and those who remain are outstanding people. Besides, it is a fatal thing to take the examination for talented people. There are so many people in the country, and there are dozens of people to choose from. It is not normal to be selected, but it is normal not to be selected! It's true that Fan Jin went crazy in the exam. The whole family worked hard to support you in taking the exam, and it took you decades to pass. It would be weird if you weren't crazy.

Because they were illiterate, when the common people chose their names during the Republic of China, they would go to those who had read books. These people who did not become scholars did not mean that they were uneducated. From the "Book of Changes" and "The Book of Songs", the name If it comes from hand, the name will naturally sound nice and have metaphorical meaning. A literate person will know the trust of celebrities in it as soon as he reads it.

In ancient times, when choosing a name, the tone of pronunciation was also required to be a combination of straight and oblique like writing poetry. It must be catchy and catchy, and it must also have a metaphorical meaning. This name is really not something that ordinary people can choose with half a bucket of water.

Look at us modern people, there are many people with academic qualifications, but very few are literate. Although they are only literate, they still want to say that they are literate. In addition to being able to write, they can also What will happen? Even fewer respect tradition.

When naming their children, most parents have to consider their birth date, the pros and cons of the five elements, and their future, but after all, they have limited money, so they either ask for help from Du Niang, use naming software, or even let a professional naming company choose the name. The name is arty, and it is not uncommon to see the phenomenon of repeated words and names.

In fact, naming had a very important meaning in the Republic of China and before, and most of them took their meaning from a certain sentence in the Four Books and Five Classics. They also paid attention to the simplicity, so they naturally sounded good (only for those who had the conditions).

Modern people do not pay attention to the level of culture. They want to do well. If the level is not enough, it will be casual.
