Our older generation was named around the 1950s. Affected by the era, men were mostly named after "Jianjun", "Jianguo", "Jianye", etc., or Names are given to strong and powerful animals, such as "dragon", "ox", and "tiger". Nicknames are arranged in order of size, such as "big dragon", "two oxen" and "two tigers". Women are mostly named after weak and tough plants. For names, such as "Ju", "Guifang", "Mei", etc., most of the nicknames are overlapping characters, such as "Miao Miao", "Hua Hua", "Cui Cui" and so on.
Nowadays, people’s naming is polarized. On the one hand, with the continuous influx of cultures from various countries, people now imitate the culture of other countries when naming, such as "Hao", "Jun", "Xian", etc. On the other hand, some people tend to be "ancient", such as "Mo", "Xuan", "Zihan", etc., while their nicknames are more diverse, such as "Steel", "Doubao", " Popsicles” and so on.
The characteristics of this era can be reflected behind different names. In many cases, the era in which a person lives can be roughly judged from the name.
