In the past, rural people gave their children names that were very simple and formatted. There was a fixed routine for them to name their children, that is, according to their seniority. In most rural areas, people with the same surname are related, so when choosing a name, they will also take it according to a generation. Generally, the first word of this name is the surname, the middle word is determined according to the generation, and the last one is the name that really needs to be thought of.
this method of naming names was very popular at that time, but in recent years, it seems that the method of naming names in rural areas according to generations does not exist. Children's names are getting fresher and fresher. What's going on? In fact, there are three reasons. The first point: the way of naming names was too old-fashioned, and now the cultural level of rural people is constantly improving. In the past, names were given by generations, one for convenience, and the other for many rural people with little education.
However, modern farmers are different from before. They have also begun to pay attention to learning. With knowledge, their personality is naturally liberated, so when naming names, they will not stick to this fixed form. The second point: the cohesion of rural families is constantly weakening. In the past, people of the same clan in rural areas were very cohesive. Everyone lived in the same village, helped each other and observed the rules and culture of the family.
But now many people choose to live in the city. Even if people of the same clan get together, they may not know each other, let alone talk about cohesion. Some people who have left the family naturally do not need to follow the family rules when naming names. The third point: rural people's thoughts are also constantly improving. It is customary to name children according to their seniority. In fact, we don't know why we should abide by it.
It's just that in the past, people's thoughts were feudal and conservative, and they didn't question this regulation, but passed it down from generation to generation according to this regulation. But now farmers pay more attention to their small families, and the cohesion of the family is stronger, which is not as kind as the people in their small families. Therefore, when naming children, everyone will consider their own children first, rather than family rules.
Because of these three reasons, the method of naming rural areas according to seniority has been eliminated. In fact, this is not a good method in itself, and being eliminated by the times is also an inevitable result. What do you think?
