In ancient times, people mostly gathered in families. A huge family had four or even five generations living under one roof, and also included many branches. People are bound by blood ties and connected with each other by family. Because of the large number of people and the confusion of generations, people adopted the method of naming by generation. Children born in the same generation are named after the same generation. In this way, the relationship between elder and younger can be clarified. Usually the character generation refers to the middle character being the same. Some character generations are a bit special, and the third character is the same.
In ancient China, generation played a very important role in naming people. A family often had several brothers or siblings, and the middle character was the same. Some characters were more special, being the third character. Although the three characters are the same, some family characters are even more different. The characters of one generation are all placed in the second character in the middle, and the characters of the next generation are placed in the third character. Zi generation, also known as Zipai, refers to the characters used in names to express family seniority (mostly the characters in the middle of names), commonly known as Pai.
Its meaning is to cultivate one’s moral character and manage one’s family, to bring peace to the people and govern the country, to bring good luck, health and prosperity. Zi generation is an important naming form that has been passed down for thousands of years in China. It is also a special "ritual" system in ancient China, which has continued to modern times. The most formal character generation should have originated in the Tang Dynasty. Han's character generation was composed by Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty. Due to various reasons, since the 1950s and 1960s, the character generation has become unfamiliar to the world. This phenomenon has become increasingly popular among the younger generation. It's even more obvious. Zi generation should be said to be an indispensable part of a complete family tree and the imprint of a family. In fact, Ziyi can be regarded as a relatively casual literary form. Its randomness lies in the fact that although it has a certain format, it does not pay attention to strict rhyme like rhythmic poetry, and unlike lyrics and music, which must use existing brand names.
Through words, two people who don’t know each other can be united together, and it can create a sudden sense of intimacy between strangers. It can also enhance the cohesion among various groups. As a part of the surname culture, we should inherit and carry it forward well. The characters in the family tree are very particular in terms of content and form, and are not randomly selected. They are serious. In ancient times, there was a saying that "the name is just and the words are right". If the name is not right, the words are not right. Naming is a serious matter. The generation of characters is not only about choosing a name, but also passing it down from generation to generation and complying with it.
