I am also open-minded, and I found this:
In the beginning, Chinese people had names but no surnames, and the concept of surnames was probably only developed after the patrilineal clan. Find out what a surname is and what a surname is, Baidu has it. Then check the original origin of the surname, such as passed down from the matrilineal clan, based on place names and fiefdoms, etc.
The names of the ancients had multiple characters, such as "Yin Gong Zhi Ta", "Yu Gong Zhi Si", etc., some had single characters, such as Yao, Shun, Yu Tang, etc., and some had associated occupations. "Lun Bian" was a person who made wheels. A person called "Bian".
Later generations of literati also had zi, hao, zhaiha, yahao, etc. zihao was often used to address their peers, or as a respectful title for their elders. The name is used in various formal writings, official occasions, and self-identification from subordinates to superiors, etc. Friends and acquaintances also use ranking terms, such as "Gongsun Auntie", "Yuan Er", "Pei Jiu", etc. Some people of high status (officials and nobles) were given posthumous titles after their deaths, and emperors were given temple titles after their deaths. There are certain rules for the setting of these names and numbers. Children have nicknames (nicknames), and there has been a custom of giving children nicknames since ancient times.
During the Three Kingdoms period, characters were honored with double names. In a Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in addition to Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang with double surnames, Kong Rong, Hua Tuo, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and even Ma Chao and Dong Zhuo, who are suspected of being from ethnic minorities, etc. , both have two-character names.
Later on, three-character names became popular, and it became popular to use genealogy sequence characters in the middle of the name to mark family and seniority.
There are many styles of naming names. Names given by common people or most people often imply various virtues, moral expectations, auspicious meanings, etc. There was a saying that male names were derived from the Book of Songs and girls were named from Dian Chu Ci. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chinese names had a clear sense of the times and often reflected the social trends at that time, such as the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xinhua, the Anti-American War, the Cultural Revolution, and the Defense of the East. Today's naming methods tend to be extremely diversified. Some names are based on specific strokes, names containing specific five elements, etc., some are derived from popular literary and artistic works, and some are unconventional and even use non-Chinese characters in the name.
