The order of names and generations usually follows certain cultural and family traditions. In Chinese culture, surnames are usually placed at the beginning of a given name and represent a person's family or blood relationship. Common surnames include "Zhang", "Li", "Wang", etc.
The word generation, also known as seniority, is an important concept in traditional Chinese culture. It usually represents a generation in the family to reflect the inheritance of family generations and the close relationship between family members. The character generation is usually one or two characters, placed after the surname and before the personal name. For example, if a person's last name is "德", his full name may be "Zhang Deming" or "Li Dehua".
The personal name is usually placed at the end to represent each person's unique identity. This part of the name can be freely chosen by parents based on various factors (such as meaning, phonology, personal preferences, etc.).
In China, the use and selection of characters are usually influenced by family tradition and culture. Some large families will carefully choose their characters to reflect the family's values ??and expectations. In some small families or modern families, the choice of character generation may be more free, and the character generation may not even be used.
Please note that although "surname, generation, personal name" is a common name arrangement in Chinese culture, the actual situation may vary due to personal, family, cultural, regional and other factors. In some cases, the order of names and the elements they contain may change. For example, some people may choose to use a doublet, or in some areas, the mother's surname may also be included in the name. Therefore, the arrangement of names and generations is best understood according to the specific situation and cultural background.
