1. How much do you know about name culture
The familiar saying "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou, Wu and King Zheng" comes from "Hundred Family Surnames". The "surname" of the Chinese nation originated from the matrilineal clan system period of primitive society and is related to the totem worship of the ancestors. "Shi" is a derivative of the surname, which originated from the patriarchal clan society and is the title of the ancient aristocratic family symbol system. What we call "surname" in daily life is not the same concept as the original surname, but includes both "surname" and "family name".
In ancient times, in addition to surnames and given names, there were also characters and names. Names are used to distinguish each other, and words are used to express virtues. For example, Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was named Bai and had the courtesy name Taibai. "Hao" is mostly used for literati and artists. Because Li Bai was born in Qinglian Township, he named himself Qinglian layman. In addition to self-proclaimed people, there are also people who are honored by the world, such as Guiguzi named Xuanweizi, Zhuge Liang named Wolong, Su Shi named Dongpo layman, Li Qingzhao named Yi'an layman, Tao Yuanming No. Wu Liu and others.

Names should be chosen based on the principles of fidelity, righteousness, imagery, falsity, and genus. name. Our country has attached great importance to naming people since ancient times.

Tongtian genealogy: The ancestors of the four major families (Confucius, Mencius, Zeng, and Yan) can all be traced back to Confucius (the first sage) and Meng Ke (the second sage). ), Zeng Shen (Zongsheng), and Yan Hui (Fusheng), the four great sages, "I hope that the public will inherit it, spread the news, and spread it, spread it widely, and Zhaoxian will be prosperous."
