1) The most traditional naming method:
The Analects of Confucius, the Book of Changes of Wu; the Book of Songs for women, the Songs of Chu for men.
As we all know, Jin Yong is a good player in this -
Article "The Analects": The evil purple is to seize the red (A'Zhu, A'Zi);
Wu's "Book of Changes": Fu Ji Tailai (Wen Tailai);
Female's "Book of Songs": There is a beautiful person, graceful and clear (Mu Wanqing);
Male's "Chu Ci": Huang Zhong was destroyed and abandoned, and the tile cauldron thundered (Huang Zhonggong).
Last year’s Nobel Prize winner-Tu Youyou, as seen in "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya": "Youyou, the deer roars, eating the wormwood in the wild." The Tu family is not only well-educated, they even have foresight in their children's research on artemisinin. But when it comes to naming, in addition to one's own struggle, one must also take into account the historical process. If your child is also named Yoyo, he may be nicknamed by his classmates: Cheke Nao.
The source of Prince Ma's pen name is "Chu Ci·Li Sao": My emperor's name is Boyong. Qu Yuan's late father was also considered an auspicious prince, but he was ultimately unable to escape. It is said that Ma Boyong's original name was Ma Li, and he was suspected of summoning the writer Lu Yao; however, he was caught off guard and "Lu Yao Knows Ma Li" became popular this year...
Li Tianyi's name was taken from "The Book of Changes". "Notes on the Book of Changes" says: Heaven produces water, and the earth produces sixty percent of it. The ancient library, Tianyi Pavilion, got its name from this (the book collection is most afraid of fire, so it uses water). If the guess is correct, Li Tianyi should be short of water in the five elements. Unfortunately, no matter how much water comes from the sky, his desire cannot be quenched.
In addition, the Book of Changes also has:
Yu Gua: Between the stone, it will not last forever, and it is true and auspicious to be righteous.
Xun Gua: moisten it with wind and rain. Annotation of "Shuo Gua Chuan": The Emperor is shocked and Qi is Xun.
The daughters are named Li Min and Li Na, and they seem to have disappeared from everyone. However, there is a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius: Li Ren": A gentleman wants to be slow in words but quick in deeds, which still exposes the book bag of the namer.
2) What signal does the name convey?
Everyone has appeals, and children’s names are natural advertising spots.
(This paragraph will be deleted as requested)
Liang Sicheng hopes that his daughter will take over the mantle of Liang Qichao (Yin Bingzi), hence the name Liang Zaibing;
Lin Binri hopes that The son followed the example of the governor (Xu Sizeng), so he was named Lin Zexu;
Wen Wen called his daughter Wen Aima for Ma Yili;
Zhu Jun called his son Zhu Sitan for Tan Mei...
p>I believe that many friends who are kneeling on the keyboard already have the answer in their hearts.
3) Does the name have to be unique?
In this world, everyone has his or her own ambitions.
Similarly, you work hard to practice your eloquence in order to be concise and concise; but some people just want to talk a lot without revealing anything.
Similarly, when you buy Weibo, you do it to become famous; but some people do it to silence the collective, so no such person can be found.
Similarly choose a name, you want to be unique; but some people want to hide in the city and forget it...
People who need recognition and exposure can be called Jia Nailiang's name is Gu Juji, which makes people shocked; on the other hand, if you don't want to have your household registration checked on Baidu, you can call her Sun Yue or Li Na, so that people can't figure out whether you sing or play ball. This is Dayu's way of controlling water: it is better to remove it than to block it. It is better to guard against the people's mouth than to guard against the river. A more effective approach than deleting personal information is to flood it with more redundant information.
The names of passers-by are everywhere. In the last century, they could be called Jianjun and Patriot; in this century, they could be called Zihan and Yuxuan... You can't even find them in a crowd. But if you want to be eye-catching, you will easily expose your illiteracy, so be careful not to use too much force. Your original intention is to make people’s eyes brighter, not to make them blind. Some people look forward to the names in "Fantasy City": Yuan Ji, Huang Tuo, Yan Jing, Entropy Split, Yantian Jing... Now the style of "Jue Ji": Qi Ling, Qi La, Netherworld, Neon, Gilgamesh ...
I just want to say that Guo Jingming's son will never be called: Shuogang Guo - it also sounds quite heavy.
4) Do you want to make your shortcomings public?
As the saying goes, whatever is lacking is supplemented.
Tianyi owes water to the five elements, Lu Yao owes soil to the five elements, Jinxin owes money to the five elements, Guo Jingjing...
Naming is like a free life correction. As long as it's free, people will flock to it. It doesn't matter whether the correction is successful or not.
It is like religion being the cheapest masturbator: there is no easier invention in the world than heaven.
If there is, it is the 72 virgins in heaven.
To get back to the point, make up for whatever is missing. Let’s take a look at the common names in the countryside:
The one who is called Wangcai, the family can no longer open the door;
The one who is called Handsome, his appearance is hard to guard against;
The one who is called Zhaodi , most of them are still hugging their sisters: new moves, continued moves, special moves...
The same is true in our fashion circle: Zhang Facai is a poor man, Liu Zhuangshi is as thin as a monkey, and Wang Buer... …
The fierce Zhang Fei is good at painting beauties and uses fine brushwork; the eunuch Sima Qian likes to write "big Yin people" with vigorous brushwork. Li Tiegen, Wang Dachui, Zhang Quandan, and Zhao Tiezhu are all names acquired from the future to make up for the deficiencies of the innate. This is academically called: reproductive inferiority complex.
5) A unique way to start: Make a name based on your surname
If your surname has unique connotations and is naturally beautiful, there will be no shortage of articles to write about.
Scholars become thoughtful, writers come and go, beauties are as beautiful as jade, and singers understand difficult things easily. They are all excellent examples.
Master Hongyi’s name was Li Chengqi when he was a child, and he seemed to come from a famous family. The meaning is: Tao Li does not speak, and he makes his own mistakes.
The poet Ye Zhiqiu comes from: One fallen leaf knows the world's autumn.
Reporters are buzzing about it, and they will make some big news as soon as they hear it...
All the above names are duplicated. However, it is more difficult to assign a surname to a single name. Let's take two musicians as examples:
Lin Xi's name may be a compound word: Lin Xi, dream.
It is said that it comes from a simplified version of "A Dream of Red Mansions", which means the sunset in the forest.
The name Nie Er may be a split character: Nie in traditional Chinese originally had three ears.
Due to his composition, the ear has become Nie Er’s exclusive logo, and the brand management is excellent. Even after people drowned in Japan, even the tombstones were shaped like ears. The epitaph reads: My ears are like shells, missing the sound of the waves of the sea.
6) The origin of low-key connotation: simple and blank space
In the history of our country, single names were once valued and double names were cheap.
It is better to keep a single name simple and elegant. For example, Wang Shi is very dignified, but Wang Lei is suspected of exerting too much force.
As for Zhao and Yun, try to avoid such complex words. After all, the sun and the moon are in the sky, and the civil and military talents are rich in gold. Not everyone can control them.
Oriental culture pays attention to white space. An ordinary word with a particularly long aftertaste.
For example, Ma Yun, with only seven strokes, also has a hint of Zen that "all gods and horses are just floating clouds"... although in comparison, it may be: amniotic fluid.
The poet Jiang Zong of the Southern Dynasties symbolizes not choosing the small stream and entering the big river.
There is a poetic meaning in the name: I am sorry for the brief moment of my life, and I am envious of the infinity of the Yangtze River.
The legendary Wang Er can be an educated youth, a gangster, a strong man, a transvestite, a programmer, a nymphomaniac, a university professor, or the old Wang next door. . I would like to ask, if passerby A and song soldier B do not come out, who will compete with them?
The legendary Wang Buer is so simple that it can be made into a QR code——
As far as I know, Liu Kanshan is a good name. Fortunately, every word is familiar, but you can't tell where it comes from.
The old Zen master said: Look at the mountain, it is a mountain; look at the mountain, it is not a mountain; look at the mountain, it is still a mountain.
Li Taibai said: I never get tired of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain.
"Suiyuan Shihua" said: The chest is like... Oh no, the text seems to look at the mountains and not like the flatness.
The name is like painting, which requires simplicity. Su Xun has an article "On Ming Erzi":
The spokes of the wheel cover Zhen, and they all have their duties, such as chariots, but Shi alone seems to have done nothing. Although, when I went to Shi, I didn't see it as a complete car. Shi Hu, I am afraid that you will not show off your appearance.
Every chariot in the world is based on the rut. When it comes to the merits of the chariot, the rut is not the same. Although the car and the horse are dead, the trouble is not as bad as the road. Those who are in the right way are good at being in the middle of misfortune and good fortune. That's right, I know I can avoid it.
Shi is the crossbar in front of the cart, which is useless and cannot be removed. So the eldest son was called Su Shi, with the courtesy name "Zizhan".
Ruts are vertical marks behind the car, which are not caused by failure. So the child's name was Su Che, with the courtesy name "Ziyou".
Interestingly, Su Shi's eldest son was named Su Mai, his second son was named Su Yi, and his third son was named Su Guo.
In the same vein, this is the style of naming by literary giants.
Unfortunately, the connotation of simplicity is no longer popular among the masses. Not to mention a single name, not even four words are enough to reflect his personality.
Those who pursue temperament shout out: Xuanyuan Gou Sheng, Huangfu Cuihua...
Those who pursue artistic conception shout out: The first snow in the purple palace, the summer fragrance in the mountains...
Recalling the past, the Manchus had Nalan Rongruo and the Tibetans had Tsangyang Gyatso.
When I hear my four words, I sound like a poet; but when I use my four words, I sound like an actress.
If you don’t believe it, please read, Zhihu Big V: Haneda Creampie, Asuka Ice and Fire...
7) Finally: What are the taboos in naming children?
One bogey with homophonic pronunciation means death:
As for the harm caused to children by not choosing a good name, close friends Zhu Yizhi and Fu Yanjie have come forward to speak out.
I believe that many people remember a male classmate named Yang Wei and a female classmate named Yin Jing. They have experienced the difficulties of life since they were young...
"Viagra, I I want to be quiet!"
The second taboo is to use unfamiliar words:
I wonder how many people can pronounce @王豖's name correctly, at least @王豕 fans are very confused...
Including this questioner: Is Wang Bo a tomboy? How can I catch up with a woman like Wang Shu? - Zhihu user
Once upon a time there was a family. The eldest daughter was named Zhang?, the second daughter was called Zhang Ji, the third daughter was called Zhang?, the fourth daughter was called Zhang?...
The subsequent children are named: Zhang Fu, Zhang Yi, Zhang?, Zhang Zhen, Zhang?...
Yes, their father is the famous elite-Zhang Taiyan.
Zhang Taiyan said: The son-in-law must be educated. If you can’t recognize your daughter’s name, don’t even think about getting married!
According to the theory of evolution, clans become extinct.
Three taboos are often polyphonic:
After Su Mai, Su Yu, and Su have passed, if another Su Huan comes, the masses will be confused.
The two place names Chaoyang and Beichen originally come from "Fu Tian Fu":
If the sun is shining brightly in the dew, it is like Gongbeichen among the stars.
Does anyone still read it this way: Chaoyang District?
Chen Shu [shù], Chen Shu [shǔ], I can’t tell the difference.
Geng Le is a good name, but how to pronounce it depends on whether he makes music or comedy.
Four avoidances: complex strokes:
Students like Mu Yuwen went to take the exam. By the time they filled in their names, others had already completed two multiple-choice questions.
Because he did not do well in the exam, he was punished by the teacher and copied his name a hundred times... He died.
Five taboos:
Huang Pinyuan is rumored to be the boss behind Caoliu, but he doesn’t explain.
