The ancients waited until their children reached school age or the adult ceremony at the age of 18, and then gave them an adult name. This is a famous name. With a big name, his nickname can only be used by parents or elders. It is considered disrespectful for outsiders to call him by his nickname. The ancients also gave children some strange nicknames, such as Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. The nickname is system, which means pig. People have various nicknames, such as dog leftovers, dog eggs, Tutan, little coward and so on. Then why give children such a bad nickname? There are actually two reasons for this. First of all, it is a common fact that the education level of the ancients is generally not high. Ordinary people don't know how to give their children a good name. The second reason is that the medical conditions in ancient times were relatively backward, and there were still many cases of premature death of children. In ancient times, it was difficult to bring up children, so Jianming, such as cats and dogs, was brought to make children as healthy as these livestock.
The ancient people gave their children cheap names, in order to give them names after their children were born. Easy to feed and able to grow healthily, the name actually means to feed with grounded gas. People look forward to the healthy growth of children and dare not be spoiled. In fact, in ancient times, most people were basically illiterate. Most people don't even have names. They are called Big Brother, Second Child, Three Five, Cat and Dog. Some people only mention one name when they talk about marriage. They face the loess all their lives, look up at the sky, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. There are only a few people in the village. Just call them nicknames. It's casual. Of course, if you are a child of a reading family, the name is more exquisite.
