Everyone knows that there are many sayings about naming in ancient times, and there are many things that need to be paid attention to. In particular, there is a taboo in naming, which is that it cannot be the same as the emperor. What does it mean? Even the last name and first name cannot be the same. The emperor's name needs to be taboo in daily life, so if the emperor's name is a commonly used character, the name will usually be changed for the convenience of court memorials and the convenience of the people. Of course, some emperors would not change it, forcing their ministers to write memorials or the people to avoid taboos when speaking. Of course, ordinary people also have their own way of naming!
In fact, whether a name sounds good or not in ancient times does not depend on how gorgeous the words are, but on how well the words are used. But some people may make mistakes: naming boys is always inseparable from some overly violent words, such as Hao, Qiang, Yan, Meng, Chuang, Gang, etc. Although it is decisive and strong when read, it is better to use manly words. It is elegant, but it can also easily remind people of being confused and unruly. Therefore, since ancient times, nobles and officials have tried to avoid these words when naming boys. Because Chinese culture believes that those who are strong and strong are not those brave people who express their joy and anger in words and draw swords when encountering difficulties, but some great men who have a noble spirit, are not surprised or angry when encountering difficulties, and talk and laugh happily.
For example, the words "hua", "pin", "yan", "peach" and "willow" are often popular in women's names. Although the flowers are beautiful and bright for a while, they dominate the beauty and dominate the limelight, but after a storm, they will fall into pieces and become dust. Willows are also soft and fragile things. In the idioms, the willow-like willow-like willows, the broken flowers and the willows, etc., express the emotional evaluation of the symbolic meaning of this kind of thing. Peach blossoms evoke the association that beauty is prone to decay. Ping and Liu are both symbols of wandering and parting. Therefore, folk custom believes that when naming, you should try to avoid these seemingly bright words.
The main problem is the ancient system, and there is feudal superstition. It is not like freedom and equality now. In fact, people nowadays are also very particular about naming, but it is not like in ancient times.
