There are three main reasons why this phenomenon occurs: first, the names of the ancients not only had names, but also characters and numbers; second, the ancients paid more attention to naming; third Third, the range of names given by the ancients was wider than today. Speaking of your own name, I believe that many people will complain about your name. Some people will feel that their name is too vulgar, and some people will feel that there are too many people with the same name as theirs. 01. The names of ancient people not only have names, but also characters and numbers
After comparing modern names and ancient names, I believe many people will think that ancient names are better and more charming, such as Fusu, Gao Jianli and Liu Rushi and so on. It is worth noting that the ancients not only had the names given by their parents, but also the characters and nicknames they chose themselves. For example, Zhou Yu was named Gongjin, Li Bai was named Taibai, Zhang Yanghao was named Ximeng, etc. It is precisely because of the presence of characters and numbers in names that the names of ancient people sound better than the names of modern people. 02. The ancients paid more attention to naming.
As to why the names of the ancients sound good, it is actually because the names are full of beautiful meanings, and people will feel the beautiful charm when reading them. The ancients were more particular about choosing names than modern people, which made ancient names sound more poetic and beautiful. For example, I particularly like the name of Qin Shihuang’s eldest son? Fusu. Fusu is a kind of flower in the Book of Songs. The special thing about this kind of flower is that it has tenacious vitality. 03. The scope of naming by ancient people is wider than today
It is worth noting that although our society is constantly improving, the Chinese characters we are exposed to are also constantly improving, including Chinese characters. simplification. For ancient people, they usually chose names from more than 3,000 characters, while modern people choose names from simplified Chinese characters. This is why when we look at ancient names, it’s like learning new Chinese characters.
