Nowadays, with the explosion of population, the Internet has allowed us to achieve zero-distance communication.
Naming has become a big problem for too many new generation parents.
What makes a name sound good? Why are there fewer repetitions? Do you want to choose based on seniority? Do you want Feng Shui luck?
It’s so difficult for me! ! !
These many problems stump most of us parents. But let’s put the other issues aside for today. Think about it first, is it better to choose a name based on seniority or not?
Then let’s first talk about the benefits of naming according to seniority.
Speaking of the benefits, let’s first mention the origin of naming according to seniority, which will be more helpful for our analysis and judgment.
The most formal character generation probably originated from the Song Dynasty.
At that time, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, specified thirteen characters for his descendants. Together with his own character Kuang, he formed a couplet of fourteen characters: "Kuang De is the son of the emperor, Boshi Xi and Boshi Xi." Meng Youyi".
This is the earliest formal character generation that people have seen.
Generally speaking, there are basically three types of form, content, and meaning of the word generation:
First, it talks about self-cultivation, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world;
Second, the respect, praise and praise of the ancestors by future generations. Third, the encouragement, expectations and blessings from ancestors to future generations.
From the above we can see several important benefits of naming according to seniority:
First, it strengthens the cohesion of the family.
Second, it clearly demonstrates social relationships and cultural inheritance.
Third, there is a clear direction in life from birth.
It is impossible to clearly know when naming based on seniority fell out of fashion.
I remember when we were children, many of us had two or more names, one named according to seniority and one named not according to seniority.
What are the benefits of not naming according to seniority?
It seems to be summarized, and the word "flexible" summarizes everything. Anyway, there are no restrictions, more choices, fewer repetitions and similarities, and it becomes unique. I don't feel any other benefits.
So how do we choose between taking based on seniority and not taking based on seniority?
For me, it must be based on seniority. I don’t want to see us being able to communicate at zero distance, but our hearts are separated by the ends of the earth.
Even if there are no successors to create a new generation in the family tree, I would like to create one myself, whether it is a couplet or a poem, hoping that the descendants will become more and more brilliant.
Start with me, continue the stories of my ancestors, and pass on my family. Let future generations ask less, where does my family come from? The question of where to go!
As long as you or your descendants can stand out, I believe that even if Jack Ma and Jack Ma have the same name, people will instantly understand that one is not the other. Same name, but our stories are different.
Come on and write the story of our own name. He also strives to teach his younger generations to write the story of his own name.
There are degrees in life, and the most taboo is to be full; I am the half-degree in life, welcome your attention.
