In my heart, I have always thought that Sichuan people have a very bold and generous character. This may be because Sichuan people prefer spicy food. Because I feel that people who like spicy food tend to be more casual, but after getting to know each other, I realized that Sichuan people also have a cute side. For example, Sichuan people use repeated words in their names. This thing also surprised me. What is this? What's the situation? Let’s find out together!
The use of repeated words is a culture and a tradition for Sichuan. The locals use redundant words as if they were commonplace, and they use them in a very wide range. There are even more uses of overlapping words in names. For example, the most commonly used overlapping words are: Wenwen, Xiuxiu, Taotao, Pingping, Mengmeng, Haihai, Xuanxuan, etc. The reason why I like overlapping words is that they are simple and the names are more affectionate. As we all know, in addition to Mandarin, Sichuan dialect is widely used in China. After all, Sichuan has a relatively large population and frequent population movements. In the vast five-thousand-year-old Chinese civilization, redundant words have appeared a long time ago and are used by people. What I want to say here is.
What do you think the functions of repeated words are? If you had a child, what method would you use to name your child?
1. It is catchy to read
I think the biggest effect of repeated words is that it is more catchy to read. For example, Beibei, Huanhuan, Mingming, these names are easy to read. They are all relatively smooth.
2. Repeated words are easier to remember
Especially nowadays, young parents like to name some uncommon words for their children, which makes it very inconvenient to read and remember. It's very good, it's easier to remember, and it also helps children make friends.
3. Combine the parents’ names to name the child
Now when we choose names, another characteristic is that we like to combine the parents’ names to name the children. This not only has a unique meaning, but also shows that the relationship between husband and wife is better. It is also a very popular way of naming. For example, the son of Chen Xiao and Chen Yanxi is named Chen Muchen, which is also very cute.
