The word generation culture in our country is not as popular as it used to be because of the impact of many modern trendy cultures. However, in some relatively old families, the word generation method is still used to name children of the same generation. In history, the Han nationality is very particular about ranking the word generation. From the royal family down to the common people, even monks and Taoists, they all like to use word generation to name their children. As early as the pre-Qin period, people began to express the order of the young and the old with the same season.
On this basis, the words Yuan, Chang, Ci, Xiao, Xiao and Shao were added in the Han Dynasty to indicate the order. Generally, these words only indicate the seniority of peers, not the seniority. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, there has been a trend of naming people by word generation. All the same generation use a fixed word or a fixed radical, and different generations use different words. This method makes the generations within the big family clear, the clans are far and near, and the order is orderly. Some families stipulate that anyone who is casually named without seniority is not allowed to enter his own lineage. This practice has been continued in some places to this day.
Most of the words used in the preface were selected by the ancestors together with the local learned Confucian scholars. Usually, they are a poem or a couplet, and some of them are only four words, such as "Faithful Family heirloom" and "Purple gas comes from the East". There are as many as 2 words spoken by the clan. The naming of word generations is the product of small-scale production and feudal patriarchal clan system, and it is obvious that the naming form has an eight-part flavor. The names of future generations can only be limited to the range set by their ancestors, and no changes are allowed, which is incompatible with modern people's independent personality and innovative consciousness.
