What did the ancients generally pay attention to when naming?

First, the ancients had the following principles in naming names:

1. The consonants of names should be crisp and smooth.

2. Shape: The font structure should be stable and smooth.

3. Meaning: The name you choose should be meaningful.

4. combination: it is consistent with the five elements of naming people.

5. taboo: the name cannot be the same as the name of the elder, or the homonym is different if there is a time to write it.

6. Pronunciation is not the same sound, it is respect for elders, and these are the main principles.

second, the most common way to select words is that the names and words have the same or similar meanings, which can explain each other. For example, Qu Yuan, whose name is Ping, has an original word; "erya? Explain in the release of the land? Guangping Yueyuan? . Zhuge Liang, the word Kong Ming,? Bright? With? Ming? The word meaning is very similar; Ban Gu, the word Meng Jian, Gu and Jian? Firm and unshakable? The meaning of; Du fu, the word is beautiful. Fu? The explanation is? The title of ancient handsome man? ; Ceng Gong, an essayist in the Northern Song Dynasty, has the same meaning as Zigu, Gong and Gu.

Third, the meanings of the words taken by names and characters are just opposite. For example, Han Yu, one of the eight great poets in the Tang and Song Dynasties, returned it. What does Yu mean? Get better and better? Meaning; Yan Shu, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, is the same as Uncle. Different from the same? It means the opposite; Another example is Zhu Xi, a famous Neo-Confucianism scholar in the Song Dynasty, whose name is Xi and his characters are gloomy. Hey? Bright, and? Hey? It means dim. Yellow damage, word benefit, Xu retreat, word advance,? Damage? With? Benefit? ,? Back? With? Into? , just can form antonyms, although this kind is not much, but it is interesting to savor it carefully.

fourth, from this to that, we can know elegance and taste in association. Such as Guan Yu, the word cloud is long, and the feathers of birds even think of the clouds in the sky. Jia Dao, the word wave fairy, thinks of the white freedom of waves from the island. Lu Long, whose word is Tian, Qian Qian, whose word benefits, is clever, whose word is sincere, and Li Zongren, whose word is virtuous, is based on an idiom: These idioms are:? See the dragon in the field? ,? Modest benefit? ,? Ming is sincere? ,? Germany is not alone, but there must be neighbors? .

from the perspective of cultural analysis, this paper reveals the psychology of the ancients in naming names, such as kindness, desire and expectation, and the social value orientation under the specific background of the times?
