Everyone faces a series of problems from birth. There are countless things in a life, several events in a period, and even many events in a day, all waiting for people to complete. It is common sense that life cannot always be everything you want or everything will be smooth sailing. But the more this happens, the more parents hope that they can grow up smoothly when naming their children. Smoothly enter the society, work smoothly, and have a successful career. Naturally, this hope is embedded in the child's name.
In ancient times, this kind of thinking was mainly reflected in the prosperity of official career and the success of official career. Scholars all hope that after being named on the gold list, they can successfully embark on an official career and thus honor their ancestors. In addition, some of people's grand ambitions, such as the ideal of "To King Yao and Shun", could only be realized in that era by entering the officialdom. This forces some people with great ambitions to embark on official careers in order to realize their ideals. However, the officialdom is ups and downs, and the situation is unpredictable. Once you are promoted, you will be surrounded by people, but once you lose your official position, you will become desolate. Therefore, people not only hope to go deep into the officialdom, but also hope to be like a dragon in the officialdom, like a fish in water, and have smooth sailing. This mentality is clearly reflected in the names of people in various eras, such as:
Jie Shanqing, a native of the Warring States Period, named Zi Shen, was the prime minister of Wei. Just a single name, hope everything goes well.
Lu Zhaoxiang was a native of Haiyan in the Ming Dynasty. Zhaoxiang means good luck and good luck.
