25. Naming Questions

Questioning is a rhetorical technique commonly used in writing articles. It is characterized by deliberately setting questions, asking and answering questions, expressing opinions and explaining the problems in the questions and answers, and leading the content to the readers. The method of naming by asking questions is to only ask without answering. The name is designed as a question, which leads the content to people, prompts people to think, and is thought-provoking. Such names are meaningful, thought-provoking, and quite popular. For example, the name Huan Guo: How should we govern the country? The questions raised by this name are of concern to everyone, so they are realistic and attractive.

Questionable naming must use interrogative pronouns. The surname "Hu" above is an interrogative pronoun.

In this naming method, some interrogative pronouns are surname characters, and some are not surname characters. Some are used at the beginning of the name, some are used in the middle of the name, and rarely used at the end of the name. Since the usage and characteristics of interrogative pronouns are different, different questions raised by different interrogative pronouns are also different. Therefore, the content of question naming method is quite rich. For example:

Hu Fuguo: How can we make the country rich and strong and the nation prosperous? "Hu" means "road" and "method" to ask the question.

He Guomo: Who is the model for people across the country to learn from? "He" asked questions about the specific direction of "model".

Who is the hero of Wei: For whom should we claim lordship? "Who" asks about the goal of "claiming femaleness"; Anzhixue: How to do learning and conduct research? " "An" raises questions about the methods and methods of studying.

Clarify what is right and wrong: we should find out who is right and who is wrong? "Which" means who is the master of "right and wrong".

Xi Zuomei: What does it mean to be beautiful? "Xi" asks questions about the content and expression of "beauty".

He Guoqiang: How can we make the country strong? The usage of "曷" and "He" are similar.

Yan Yixie: How to express gratitude? "Yan". Asking questions about the method of "thank you"

Among the people whose names use interrogative pronouns, there are Lin Hemei, Chen Huli, Shi Anzai, Fang Xiwei, etc. .

Although there are not many interrogative pronouns at the end of surnames, the effect is good if used well. For example:

Gu Panhe: Looking left and right, what do you want to see? Describe it more vividly

Yao Wanghe: What do you want to see when you climb up to a high place? There is a worried look on your face; Xia Meng He: What do you dream about on a summer night? It contains sweet poetry. Wen praises He: What do you praise and what do you oppose? The semantic expression should be clear and the interrogative pronoun should be used at the end, mainly the word "he", and other words are rare.

The question naming method must use interrogative pronouns. This is its characteristic and its limitation. Because of this, this naming method is not easy to popularize and can only be used. Used on a limited basis.

26. Negative naming

Clearly express the denial of a certain bad tendency in the person’s name , is the basic feature of negative naming method.

Negation here includes two forms: positive negation and negative negation. The so-called positive negation refers to actively defeating and overcoming bad tendencies. The so-called negative negation refers to abandoning and throwing away bad tendencies. For example, Liu Gefei, getting rid of wrong and harmful things, is a positive negation; Xin Qiji, abandoning the harm of diseases, is a passive negation.

The basic rules of negative naming are:

(1) Based on the negative things or tendencies that are denied Material.

(2) Select a verb that expresses the negative mode and match it to form a verb-object phrase.

(3) Combined with the surname, it forms a negative name.

Commonly used basic words expressing negative things and tendencies include: non, selfishness, self, evil, illness, disease, dust, dirt, devil, harm, etc., and their synonyms , synonyms include evil and strange. Pollution, turbidity, dryness, decay, filth, trouble, disaster, calamity, difficulty, miasma, malaria, epidemic, etc.

Verbs commonly used to express negative modes include: remove, suppress, eliminate, destroy, cut, shovel, pull out, chop, chop, drive, drive, abandon, go, reject , absolutely, annihilate, sweep, capture, capture, surrender, purge, wash, brush, destroy, break, overcome, etc.

There are many names using the negative naming method. For example: Duan Kewei: Guoxindi conquered his own private fortress.

Xia Fusi: "Axe" means "to chop". Swing the axe, chop down the tree of selfishness without mercy, and completely break with individualism.

Wang Zhene: Resolutely suppress all evil forces.

Zhu Shengfei: Defeat all wrong and harmful things and keep our flag bright red.

Gao Dichen: The sky is raining heavily, and all the filth and dirt in the world are vast. Huo Qubing: Get rid of the disease quickly and ensure good health. Tang Jufei: Refuse all harmful things to invade our body and mind

Zhang Feiguo: Deny all wrong and harmful things with great fanfare to ensure our purity and health.

The advantage of negative naming is that the name has a clear attitude, strong subjective color and outstanding personality. The disadvantage is that the naming method has formed a pattern, and there are fewer options for selection, making it easy to be similar or repetitive. Therefore, when using the negative naming method, you should put more effort into choosing verbs and expressing negative ways, and strive to be innovative in this regard

27. Pun naming< /p>

"Pun" means killing two birds with one stone, and one name expresses two different meanings

For example, the name Ai Siqi has There are two semantics, one is from the perspective of thinking personality; Ai means "love", like; Siqi means strange thinking, bold and unconventional. The second one is from the political perspective of ideals and beliefs. Ai means love, Si refers to Marx, the revolutionary teacher, and Ilyich (Lie Zi), the revolutionary teacher of Qicuo, has two meanings in one name, which is a pun nomenclature.

Another example is the name Jiang Tianyi, which also has two levels of meaning: one is a clear description of the natural scene, the river is rushing towards the sky, the water and the sky are connected, indistinguishable, up and down. The vastness is mixed into one color, blended into one, and becomes one, which constitutes a magnificent picture of the sky high and the water long and boundless. The other layer is a metaphor for social ideals: when the country will be unified, the sky and the earth will be unified, and the nine states will be one color, "Jiang Tian" alludes to the country and the country. "One" means unity. Jiang Tianyi is also a good name with a pun.

The key to the success or failure of pun nomenclature is to mix light with darkness.

Among them, the natural, flexible, and explicit part should be simple, easy to understand, and pave the way; the implicit content should have the "outline" cleverly attached to the explicit part. In words, people can complete the transition from explicit meaning to implicit meaning through association. The "Siqi" in Ai Siqi is embedded with the names of two revolutionary mentors.

It inspires the direction of thinking; the "Jiangtian" in Jiangtian No. 1 Middle School is exactly the same as the country, the sky and the earth. Only light and dark, natural and flexible can inspire associations, allowing people to understand the double connotation and appreciate its mystery.

The pun nomenclature can not only improve the information content of the name, but also enhance the interest and is beneficial to intellectual development, so it is generally praised by everyone. However, this nomenclature is more difficult. A good pun name requires careful consideration and long-term deliberation before it can be made.

Generally speaking, there are three main channels for generating "pun" names: First, making use of multiple meanings of a word to form a pun

< p> Such as Yang Feixue. There are two interpretations of the "fei" in this name, and there are two meanings of the name. One of the meanings of "non" is to express negation in the choice, and the tone is calmer. The meaning of the name at this time is that although poplars are also dancing in the wind, they are not snowflakes; poplars are a symbol of spring, and snowflakes are a symbol of winter. , the two cannot be confused. The second meaning of ": non" means no longer, no longer, with a heavier tone.

At this time, the meaning of the name is that the poplar flowers are blooming, spring is here, and the situation is getting better. It’s no longer a severe winter with ice and snow. This is a pun made up of the polysemous meaning of the word, because “Yang” here not only refers to Yanghua but also represents spring. In fact, Ai Siqi and Jiang Tianyi also have polysemous meanings.

The second is to use symbolic techniques to form puns

The contemporary writer Feng Yizhi has two layers to his name. Meaning: First, "Zhi" is a function word, which is the suffix of "Yi". The meaning of the name at this time is that we should deal with difficulties with perseverance. Secondly, "Zhi" is a pictographic character, symbolizing twists and turns. Detour. At this time, the meaning of the name means that the road of life is like a zigzag. It is tortuous and bumpy, and you will encounter difficulties and obstacles at any time. If you want to move forward and reach your ideal goal, you must develop a perseverance spirit. .

This pun-like name is mainly formed with the help of the symbolic meaning of "Zhi".

The third is with the help of "Zhi". Idioms and allusions form puns

The literal meaning of the name Ruhuaershi is that it is not only full of flowers and leaves, but also full of fruits. The second meaning of "Qiushi" is derived from the idiom "gaudy". It stands on the opposite side of "gaudy" and resolutely opposes the kind of character and style that is superficial or sensational. This gives it a double meaning.

Another example is the name Lin Zhufeng, which on the surface means: lush forest with bamboos, a lush and prosperous style. Because the name contains bamboo and forest. It is easy to think of the "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove". With the help of this allusion, Lin Zhufeng has a second meaning, that is, the style of elegant scholars represented by the "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove". Its pun is based on the allusion.

28. Symbol naming

Symbol is based on the similarity or similarity between two things. The form serves as a bridge to develop associations, thus realizing the rhetorical technique of using one thing to express the other and achieving semantic deepening. For example, using "white dove flying" to symbolize peace and friendship, and using "Lei Haiyan" to symbolize revolutionaries in the storm.

Generally speaking, symbolism uses concrete images to symbolize more abstract things or ideas, such as using the sun to symbolize light and clouds to symbolize dark forces.

< p>

The symbolic meaning is also closely related to the national cultural tradition. The traditional habits of the Chinese people are:

(1) Pines and cypresses symbolize evergreen longevity and moral character. Nobility. (2) Green bamboo symbolizes integrity and long-lasting integrity.

(4) Chrysanthemum symbolizes the golden autumn and elegance of harvest. Not a bad character.

The Chinese also use tigers and leopards to symbolize might, eagles to symbolize vigor, flying dragons to symbolize miracles, and horses to symbolize vigor and strength. The symbolic meaning of names is based on these cultural traditions.

For example:

Linyinwu: The trees are lush, and the sycamore branches under the shade are lush and strong.

According to traditional saying, "the phoenix chooses a tree to rest on." This is an ideal place for the phoenix to live, so it symbolizes auspiciousness and the coming of fortune and honor.

Zhang Tingzhu: The green bamboo stands tall and straight, not afraid of wind and rain. It symbolizes strength, backbone, and high integrity.

Shen Hugen: The root is very deep and grows strong and majestic, like a tiger entrenched there. It means a deep foundation, a solid foundation, and great potential for development. There will be lush leaves, flourishing flowers, abundant fruits, and a bright future.

Luo Tieying: Soaring tall, with strong wings, fighting against the wind and waves, the eagle displays its majestic appearance. It symbolizes that you will definitely show your talents and make great achievements.

Guo Lin Pavilion: The high pavilion in the city wall stands tall and shining, creating a prosperous and auspicious scene. Lin Pavilion refers to Qilin Pavilion. It symbolizes wealth and prosperity and a bright future.

Xuxia Village: The rising sun shines brightly, dyeing the quiet village red; symbolizing the rising sun, bright and beautiful future.

Wu Ruolan: Orchids are elegant and fragrant, symbolizing noble character and possessing the air of a "gentleman". Ruolan means to be a person like an orchid, with noble character and gentlemanly manner

Zhang Fengchu: The young phoenix spreads its wings and is about to take off. It symbolizes prosperity, auspiciousness and a bright future.

Symbolic techniques can inspire association and imagination. Its intention is not directly explained, but can only be grasped through in-depth exploration under the inspiration and guidance of the text. The symbolic meaning It has tendencies, general references and a certain degree of ambiguity. Its connotation is not precise, specific, and implemented, but only indicates the direction and scope, leaving a certain "blank" for readers to fill in through their own thinking. This is where its appeal and interest lie. (To be continued)
