Speaking of the names given by the ancients, they were very particular about cultural connotation, respect for the elders, and requirements for equality. Therefore, the names of the ancients sound beautiful and have the heritage of the ancients. But nowadays, our names lack these flavors, so names are becoming more and more simple and common, without as much thought and research as the ancients. What is the reason for this phenomenon?
Firstly, people's literary literacy is gradually declining now. When they think of a nice name, they are afraid to spend a lot of time thinking about it, so it is better to choose an ordinary name. With the development of time and science and technology, we have gradually reduced the study of ancient poetry and culture, and absorbed more modern culture and professional qualities. Coupled with the current development of the Internet and the rise of mobile phones, people have gradually lost interest in ancient culture. Therefore, you cannot choose a name decisively without understanding it. If you use the wrong word, you will be afraid of being laughed at by others.
Secondly, the ancients had no other way of entertainment in the environment at that time. Reciting poems and painting was their entertainment, so they were very good at it. Compared with today, if we want to get a nice name, in addition to understanding our own family culture and inheriting the family inheritance, we also need a literature major. For this, we can ask literature professors or search online, but online searches are unreliable, and literary masters Hard to find. Therefore, due to many difficulties, I can only choose what I can think of, which has led to the commonization of names now.
Thirdly, some parents are becoming more and more casual and only choose names according to their own preferences. For example, if parents have a special liking for the character "Lei", they will try every means to add this character to their name. Other parents may do horoscope calculation and Feng Shui. In the end, the name also needs elements such as metal, wood, water, fire and earth, then More limited. Therefore, when we choose names now, we still need to make them sound better, absorb more from ancient Chinese culture, and make the names more connotative and sophisticated.
