Names of the same surname and the same generation all have the same word
Names of the same surname and the same generation all have the same word. We all know that China is a big country with a very large population, which leads to the phenomenon of duplicate names. Therefore, naming names requires certain skills and attention, and cannot be casually done. The following names sharing the same surname and peers all have the same word. The same surname and the same generation have the same name. 1
This is a general rule, because people in ancient times were polygamous and had many children, so there was a big age gap between many brothers.
Even the eldest son is married and has children, and the concubines of his father's parents are pregnant. This kind of generation is easy to be confused in terms of age difference. In order to facilitate the distinction, this way of ranking generations with the same word is adopted. What you said is that a complete word is common, and there is also a word in a name that is common and radical.
For example, in A Dream of Red Mansions, the word "generation" is common to Jia's husband generation, including Jia Daihua, Jia Daishan, Jia Dairu, etc. The next step is to generalize a radical, such as Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Jing. Then the general "Wang" radical, called "Tiyu" in ancient times, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, etc. The younger generation is commonly known as "Fu", such as Jia Rong, Jia Lan, Jia Qin and Jia Qiang.
In this way, even if Jia Qin is older than Jia Baoyu, he will still be called "Uncle" when he meets Baoyu. It is convenient for generation management.
Now most of them are only children, and this way of naming is unnecessary, but people still habitually let children of the same generation have the same word in their names. For example, I am the word "Li" in my ancestral family tree, but in fact there is no word "Li" in my name. Because there are fewer children now, there is no need to use words to rank generations. The names of the same surname and the same generation all have the same word. 2
Origin:
The naming of word generation originated in the Tang and Song Dynasties, which was founded in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. It is an important way for China to name by word generation from the royal family down to the people of Li, and even skilled craftsmen and monks and nuns, and it is also one of the important contents in China's name culture. In the history of China, the naming custom of the ranking generation has a great influence and a wide range. In general, families should define their generations in compiling genealogy, so as to achieve the purpose of "distinguishing between the superior and the inferior, and ordering the elders."
Rules:
The History of the Song Dynasty shows that in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, from the royal family down to the common people, even monks and Taoists liked to name their names by word generation. The basic method of naming is to adopt the format of "surname generation name", and people of different surnames and tribes choose one word in turn from the generation spectrum used by their families as their own names.
Extended information:
The naming of word generations is a folk phenomenon with a long history. Its fixed naming characters have a fairly stable inheritance, which can help people to carry out the lineage sequence, respect the lineage, distinguish the Mu, and prolong it orderly from generation to generation.
However, it is hereditary and contains a strong feudal family concept. It limits people's names to a certain extent, which stifles people's will and independent personality, which is not conducive to the development of personality, nor to interpersonal communication and unity.
in the new historical period, the promotion of the newly revised genealogy of Chinese characters should not only adhere to the inheritance of "praising the merits of ancestors and encouraging future generations to forge ahead", but also add new contents such as "loyalty and filial piety as the foundation, loyalty and righteousness as the foundation" to practice the socialist core values and reflect the new idea of patriotism and love for home. As an ancient naming method in the name culture of our country, let the genealogy of word generation also glow with new vitality, which will be repeated and continued. The same surname and the same name all have the same word. 3
When did the word generation originate?
According to the current historical facts, the origin of word generation should be in the Song Dynasty. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu, stipulated thirteen words for the name of his descendants, and together with his own word * * * fourteen words, formed a couplet "Kuang Dewei followed the world, Bo Shixi and Meng Youyi".
Song Xiaozong Zhao Yin (shen), whose name was Bo Cong, was later renamed slow and given the name Wei, with the word Yong. He was the seventh grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu. He was born on October 22, the first year of Jianyan (AD 1127) and died on the ninth day of June, the fifth year of Shaoxi (June 28, 1194). Since Song Gaozong's only son, Prince Yuan Yi, died, there was no heir. Their descendants are all named according to this.
This is the earliest formal word generation people have ever seen. Under normal circumstances, the form, content and meaning of the word generation are relatively simple. The content is either about self-cultivation, governing the country and leveling the world, or the respect, praise and praise of the ancestors by future generations, or the encouragement, expectation and blessing of the ancestors to future generations.
word generation forms: for word generation forms, there are usually two kinds: one is poetic style; The second is couplets.
it is not appropriate to say that the word generation of poetic style belongs to poetic style, because sometimes it is not as strict as poetry, so let's name it poetic style. Poetry-like style is generally four words and five words. Four-character poems are relatively common and widely used by major families. Five-character poems are more widely used than four-character poems. Usually, five words are easier to read and remember. Besides four words and five words, there are seven words and eight words.
in addition to poetic style, there are also word generations in the form of couplets. But this form is not very common. The earliest word generation that Zhao Kuangyin drew up for his descendants, together with his own Kuang characters, formed a couplet "Kuangde only followed the world, Bo Shixi and Meng Youyi". There are still many such word generations in the form of couplets in Roche's word generation.
Generally, there are only two forms of word generation, but there are some special ones. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a set of word generations for his descendants. Considering that there would be duplicate names in future generations, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a set of word generations for each of his 2 sons and a nephew, and then made regulations. In addition to using the set word generations, the third word in their names must be based on the five elements.
His sons are all beside the wooden character, so his grandson took fire as the side from the beginning, so he reciprocated in the form of wood, fire, earth and gold. Zhu Rongji, the former premier of the country, is a generation of Zhu Bian (beside the wooden character), the king of Min, whose words are "Hui Yin grinds his reputation, and he will do business in harmony, worshiping the original harmony, and being lenient and happy." Zhu Rongji is Rong, next to the local word. This is actually a double word generation.
There are two generations: the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. Since Yong Zhengdi, the following generations are "Yin Hong Yong Mian Yi Zai, Pu Yu Heng Qi, Dao Lu Zeng Qi, Jing Zhi Kai Rui, Xi Ying Yuan Sheng, Zheng Zhao Mao Xiang" and the other word of the name is based on certain radicals, such as the Yongzheng brothers.
there are also generations who are purely based on the five elements, such as the descendants of Gao Ganggong, from the 36th generation to the 45th generation. Then there is the simple stipulation of the radical word generation. For example, according to Yi Qiao Pu, Han Xiuqing, a scattered doctor in the Song Dynasty, wrote the school of Han's VIII in Xiaoshan as follows: The words of the heart can be said, and the mountains ask the world.
Like the first four words, they are generally used as radicals. There is also a usage, such as "Yue Han Pu", in which Han Bangwen, the minister of the Ming Dynasty, wrote the 16th generation school language for Shaoxing Han surname: people are pure and honest, people are sincere and virtuous, fire is bright and soil is eternal, and wood and bamboo are sincere. This set of word generations stipulates that the generations of future generations are separated by single and double words, just like what "people" actually says is to take people as the side.
usage of word generation: another point is the usage of word generation. The usage of some family word generations may be unique, such as the word generation of Ding Shi in Rizhao, Shandong, which was mentioned earlier. Originally from Haizhou, it started in Wuchang. Come and take photos at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and stay in Hebei. The apocalypse opened the branch, and Chongzhen took office. The township sages are famous officials, and the virtues are successful. Show your spirit and breed prosperously. Willing to be United, filial piety and harmony. Generations are long, and they inherit Zuze. "
every four words in this set are a generation, and people of each generation choose one of the four words to use, regardless of order or priority. Ding Zhaozhong, a famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner in physics, belongs to this family and is the initiator of "Beginning Wuchang". Another example is the 4 characters of Wuhua in Meizhou, Guangdong and Cheng in Heyuan, which are "the country handed down from generation to generation, Neo-Confucianism must be the first, filial piety should be appropriate, and Chongwen should be good." Yanyi is rich and powerful, and knows all the books.
noble character, prosperous rise of handsome and virtuous. " Later, 4 sub-words were set as "the state is bright and beautiful, and the good fortune is extended." Open Zhi Ming Longqi, dedication will soar. Diligent practice and competition, constant thinking is far-reaching. Changlong is distinguished and noble, and Qianqiu is happy. " Corresponding to the first forty, so you can choose one of the first four words or the last forty words to use. Other families stipulate that people use different word generations when they are alive and when they are dead, that is, they stipulate two sets of word generations, one is used when they are alive and the other is used after they are dead. But this way is not common.
Word generation should be said to be an indispensable part of a complete family tree, which is the imprint of a family. In fact, word generation is a relatively random literary form, and its randomness is reflected in the fact that although it has a certain format, it does not pay attention to strict rhyming like metrical poems, and it does not have to apply the existing brand names like lyrics.
Through word generation, two strangers can be United together, which can make strangers feel sudden intimacy. It can enhance the cohesion among various groups. As a part of surname culture, word generation should be well inherited and carried forward.
