The ancients believed that names represented fate. In Shuowen, "name" means "fate" and "name is pretentious". Taisha Yin Wenzi said that "the name should be named, the name should determine the matter, and the matter should be verified by the name", that is to say, when investigating and demonstrating things, you must first name them to succeed, and the success or failure of things can also be verified by the name. In ancient times, there was a saying that "a name must be real, and a name is a real thing", which means that a symbol represents something, and with something, a symbol representing it will be produced, that is, a name; On the other hand, we can also know the content characteristics of things from symbols or names, that is, the so-called "name attached to reality, can see its meaning", which means that those who establish a good reputation will have a good fate, and those who establish a bad reputation will certainly not be able to lift it.
From the initial name totem to today's name symbols, it is said that names are closely related to the fate of life, and names determine people's future gains and losses, fortunes, and have always been the foothold for some people to try to be promoted and rich. Even in the information society, there are still many people who are obsessed with the "special function" that names can predict whether a person's life is smooth, precious, healthy and long-lived. At present, toponymy is very popular in Japan, Taiwan Province Province, Macau, Hongkong and other places, and the "naming kiosks" specially named or renamed for others or enterprises have been booming. It can be seen that names can predict people's omens and luck concepts, which have a long history and have successors.
In fact, there are many stories about the fate of names, so don't worry about using too many words to describe them. Here are just a few examples.
Let's talk about those who were named by unexpected troubles first. These unfortunate people often have a good time when they are named, but they didn't expect the disaster to be in their name. In Song Zhezong, Su Shi's brother Su Zhe was demoted for opposing the new law, and Su Shi was exiled to Hainan. Su Zhe left for Leizhou, and both of them fled to Lingnan, which was a painful experience. At that time, people analyzed that Su Shi's writing was profound and "touched" the "light" in your ear; Su Zhe's word Ziyou, together with the thunder in the second half, exiled two brothers, which has already laid the groundwork for their names. If I had known this, there would not have been a word that got me into trouble, and that would have been another fate.
At the time of Song Gaozong's contemporaries, Dongting Lake was crowded with young people, who were surrounded by dangers and boasted, "If you want to invade our territory, you have to fly in." . Later, it was destroyed by Yue Fei, and Yang Yao's exit was not blocked. No one can blame others.
Zeng Guofan in the Qing Dynasty, in the battle of Niuzhuang, revived the idle prefect Huang. When he got off at King's Landing, he personally ordered the transfer of troops and called the first platoon leader's name, which turned out to be "Yi Changqing". When Huang is full of Hunan sounds, it becomes a complete "clearing". When the villagers in the team heard this, they all secretly talked about it and thought it was unlucky. Later, in Niuzhuang, I fought against the British. Sure enough, the whole army was wiped out, and Huang spilled blood on the battlefield and became a ghost who died in battle.
Indeed, in a superstitious society, it is necessary to take a chance to be a person and to take a chance to name. Once you accidentally name it, even if you have the ambition to make a difference, I am afraid it is still difficult to get ahead and become a leader in the contemporary world. Ming Taizu (), Yongle test, presented the first person surnamed Sun as Gong, because Gong, Gong two words together, think unlucky, then abandon it, choose lonely Xing Kuan as the champion. Wang Guojun, a scholar in Jiangsu Province during the reign of Tongzhi Chen Wu, is homophonic with "the king of national subjugation". When he was dissatisfied with his boss, he demoted Wang Guojun to the top three, and the magistrate sent him to Anhui. Later, he still didn't feel enough revenge. He decided to change to a teaching post, so Wang Guojun worked as a teacher in Yangshan for 20 years.
However, compared with Mianyi, the minister of security in Qing Dynasty, country A is still lucky. In the early years of Jiajing, the crown was in violation of the royal regulations. The name of the nearest imperial clan should be "Yi" and named after "Jin". Jiajing looked unhappy and condemned the crown for "self-loss". Iraq is alienated from itself, and I don't treat Iraq with my nephew. It is not convenient to get close to work and leave it to Iraq for management. "I ordered Mianyi to quit Ganqingmen, and took the post of guard minister and management minister, and changed it to Yi. The emperor lost his official position because of childish behavior, and even the grievances were nowhere to tell.
There are countless examples that make people laugh and cry. For example, Emperor Gaozong did not use the name of Qian Jun Tang Xiu. Xiaowu changed the name of "the emperor is too young" and ordered "the son"; A Jiangxi cousin was banished to Yili because of his fame as a dragon and phoenix, and historical books and biographies of Kerwin Chen emerged one after another. Laozi said: "Misfortune is a blessing; Blessed, cursed. " Because of the name, people collide with the case and make life a pity; And because the name is auspicious, it is more delicious.
Fame is a great fortune for people, and it is common to win the world and get promoted and made a fortune. The most rewarding thing is that Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty worked for the emperor in his own name.
When Wang Mang was in China, the court believed in divination, divination, destiny and resilience. At that time, there was a rumor among the people that "Liu Xiu is the son of heaven", and this kind of speculation that will come true was marked with pictures. Many disloyal people changed their names to Liu Xiu to enjoy Ruiying, and Liu Xin, a Buddhist of Wang Mang, also changed his name to Liu Xiu, secretly dreaming of becoming an emperor. At that time, after hearing the news that Buddhism was going to be the son of heaven, he jumped on the hoe and shouted, "I know it's not me." Later, as expected, from a person, in the name of Liu Xiuzhi, he was killed in Jindian, defeated Wang Mang and became emperor.
Wang Mang is a scholar. He occupied the throne, relied on divination, and Fu Ming and other officials worshipped him. The four assistants, three generals and four generals with the longest titles were all found by divination. There was a man named Wang Xing, who created the history of the ancient city gate. His appearance was very similar to the characters depicted in the prophecy. Wang Mang worshipped him as Jing Zhao, the general of Wei, and married his granddaughter to him. Another cake vendor named Wang Wansheng worshipped former general Jing Zhao for the same reason, and all other people with the same name were awarded Lang Guan to praise them for taking a prosperous name.
Good luck, relying on strength, sent me to Qingyun. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, things blessed by fame really mushroomed and the days became longer and longer.
During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Dai Lanfen from Tianchang County, Anhui Province went to Beijing to try. Originally, he only got the ninth place in Dimethyl. When Daoguang reviewed the manuscript, he took a fancy to the auspicious omen of his name meaning "Forever (everlasting) and Dai Lanfen (passed down from generation to generation)" and chose Dai Lanfen as the first scholar, instead of seeking the first (death row). In the same dynasty as Dai Lanfen, there were two farmers in Xiangxiang. Originally, both of them were coolies herding cattle and sheep for the rich. On a whim, they dropped their whips and rushed to the city to join the army. Recruiters saw that they didn't have names, so they made them up. They looked up and saw a red banner on the main hall door of the county government, with Xiao's name printed on it, called Cheng Daji. Later, on the battlefield, both of them were famous for their bravery and bravery. They started with an auspicious name, and all the officials were governors. Compared with their "comrade-in-arms" Huang, it is another kind of luck.
As the saying goes, "iron is gold", good luck will break in and the door panel can't stop it. When a scholar who presided over the exam said goodbye to a teacher, he wanted to find out what little "difficulties" Mr. Shang had to solve by himself. After the salutation, Shangshu suddenly felt that he was going to fart, so he owed his body. He thought it was time, so he leaned over to ask questions. Shangshu casually said, "It's just a matter of breathing." Although he knew nothing about learning politics, he wrote down the word "breathing" for later use. Later, when Zheng Xue was checking the papers in an invigilator, he suddenly found a candidate named Xia, and "suddenly realized". Although Xia's articles are at sixes and sevens, they still rank first. Summer high school does not rely on learning, nor does it lose money. It depends on someone "getting through" the joints of Shangshu. It can be said that "the grass grows and the warbler flies, so why can't you find an old friend?"
Confucian memories, such as those who study politics and don't understand the world, often lead to such chaos. Mi Fei, a painter and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, became a habit of cleanliness. According to legend, "Chao's boots are held by others, and his heart is not good. He can't wear them after repeated washing." One day, Michaelis was introduced to a secretary named Duan, and he was overjoyed. He said, "It's really my husband's son-in-law." He married his daughter whether she liked it or not. In the late Qing Dynasty, the governor of Zhili was full of people. I happened to see a flag bearer named Chongyang Valley. I was overjoyed and even called, "You can make a good match with my Dragon Boat Festival Bridge!" As a result, he was promoted to a special position, and the mediocre Chongyang Valley flourished because of the book bag that the scholar occasionally hung. This elder brother should burn paper in front of his parents' graves more often.
Names can bring endless blessings. Since it is better to get a good name than to struggle for three lives, finding a good name has become a fashionable thing for everyone. The knowledge of fortune-telling by a famous name or changing one's name through fortune-telling has also entered the cultural hall with great fanfare and is favored by the people of Shenzhen. The most popular method is yin-yang and five elements fortune telling.
Yin-Yang and Five Elements originated in the Zhou Dynasty, and by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they were popularized and developed by Zou Yan and others, and penetrated into all walks of life such as politics, military affairs and astronomy. It is natural that naming is influenced by it.
The theory of yin-yang and five elements holds that "one yin and one yang is called Tao", and everything in the universe is composed of five extremes: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. According to his view, everything that constitutes nature needs five extremes, and it is best to constitute human life, so as to reconcile the surplus and deficiency and test health and longevity. If something is extremely missing, it is best to remedy it in the name. The method is to list the horoscopes of the year, month and day when the child is born, and ask the fortune teller to find out what the five elements in the horoscopes are missing, and then name them. For example, if a child hits wood, he is named Mu Sen, or A and B; If there is water shortage, name Zhang and Li Pengze. Or use Jin Mu's definitions of soil, fire and water to create words; Or made of Jin Mu's fire, water and soil radicals; Or do ten days and twelve words to name it, so as to fill in the blank and try to be lucky.
Although the naming theory of Yin and Yang has a strong superstitious color, it has a strong binding force and vitality, so it has continued to this day. For example, the name of Zhang, the prototype of "Runtu" in Lu Xun's novel "Hometown", comes from Yin and Yang and five elements; Another example is Dai Li, the spy chief of the * * * military government, whose fate is short of water, because the word "rain farmer" makes up for it. Not only the name, but also the aliases engaged in espionage have to use "water" to drag "mud", such as Hong Miao and Jiang. Dai Li died in a plane crash. It is reported that he went by the pseudonym Gao Chongyue before his trip. Not only is there no water here, but the soil is fertile. We also need "Dai Li" to shelter from the rain. According to the theory of Yin and Yang, soil is like water, and the five elements mean hardship, hostility and disaster. Dai Li's "disaster from the sky" is really "disaster from the source"!
Names are symbols that represent people. From the perspective of generalized information theory, all kinds of symbols have their original meanings, including the entities they represent. Modern numerology gives the name a coat of "science", but it can't shed its inherent superstitious color after all. The "knowledge" of fortune-telling by name has been varied since ancient times, and it is impossible to get together. Here is an example. In my opinion, let readers have a glimpse, enough is enough, and don't get too deep.
