"Zuo Zhuan"
On Ding Mao in the ninth month, the son was born at the same time. He was raised with the ceremony of giving birth to a eldest son, and he was placed in a prison. The fortune teller carried it and his wife ate it. The public and Wen Jiang and Zongfu named him. The public asked about the name of Shen Sui. He said to him: "There are five names, one is faith, one is meaning, there is image, there is falseness, and there is class. Names are born from faith, and virtues are born. Righteousness, taking life as an image, taking things as false, taking father as a kind. Not taking the country, not the official, not the mountains and rivers, not taking the hidden disease, not taking the animals, not using the utensils and coins. Zhou people used it as a taboo Serving gods and names will eventually be taboo. Therefore, using the country will abolish the name, using officials will abolish the position, using mountains and rivers will abolish the master, using animals to abolish the sacrifices, and using utensils and coins to abolish the rituals. In the Jin Dynasty, Xihou abolished the Situ. In the Song Dynasty, Duke Wu abolished Sikong, and the emperor sacrificed it. Wu destroyed two mountains, so big things cannot be ordered." The Duke said: "This is his life. It is the same thing as me, and the order of fate is the same."
Translation As follows (I can only read it based on Baidu search):
On Dingmao Day in the ninth month, Duke Huan’s son Zitong was born. A grand ceremony was held in accordance with the specifications for the birth of a prince: the son was received with a Tailao ceremony, and the son was chosen through divination. He asked a master to hold the baby and let his wife breastfeed the baby. Duke Huan, Qi Jiang and the wife of the doctor with the same surname named the baby. Duke Huan asked Shen Sui about naming. Shen Sui replied: "People's names are divided into different categories. There are five situations: xin, yi, xiang, falsity and class. Naming with characteristics at birth is xin, naming with words expressing virtue is yi, naming with similar objects is xiang, naming with borrowed names of things is falsity, naming with and Naming words related to father is a category. When naming, do not use the name of your country, do not use the official name of your country, do not use the name of your country's mountains and rivers, do not use the names of related diseases, do not use the names of livestock, and do not use the names of utensils and gifts. People in the Zhou Dynasty used taboos To worship the gods. People’s names do not need to be taboo during life, but they need to be taboo after death. Therefore, when naming a country, the person’s name must be abolished; when naming an official position, the official name must be changed; Naming cannot be used for sacrifices, which is equivalent to abolishing sacrifices. Naming objects and gifts cannot be used for sacrifices and gifts, which is equivalent to abolishing various etiquettes. (For example) The Jin State abolished the position of Situ because the Marquis of Xi was named Situ. (Changed to Zhongjun). The Song Dynasty abolished Sikong (renamed Sicheng) because Song Wu Gong was named Sikong. Our Lu Kingdom changed the names of Ju Shan and Ao Shan because Xian Gong and Wu Gong were named Ju and Ao. Therefore, we cannot name big things." Duke Huan said: "This child was born on the same day as me, so let's call him Tong."
In short, the name must be meaningful and must be It is suitable for children and should be unique, not just a collection of auspicious words that can be used on anyone.
