"It is better to teach a son a skill than to give him a daughter, and it is better to give him a good name than to teach him a skill." Since ancient times, China people have attached great importance to naming.
What kind of name parents give their children not only reflects their own growing environment, but also reflects their expectations for their children's future life.
a small name often clearly reflects the unpredictable times.
Since the beginning of the new century, the education level of the younger generation who are married and have children has generally improved, and their names are also artistic and personalized.
When they named the next generation, they deliberately avoided the popular names of "Gang", "Strong", "Feng", "Peng", "Juan", "Yan" and "Li", but they used the names of characters more like Qiong Yao drama, costume TV series or games.
The names of literary and art fans such as Haoyu, Zixuan, Haoran, Xinyi, Zi Han and Zixuan have a high rate of duplicate names.
Recently, two more names are very popular, one is "Huangpu Military Academy" and the other is "the glory of the king", which have been severely spoofed by netizens.
This actually reflects the randomness of parents' naming their children, which is often a whim and lack of deliberation.
In fact, it is not difficult to choose a name that is neither popular nor meaningful. The way the ancients named it is worth learning.
since the Ming dynasty, the traditional naming style of advocating elegance has returned.
the Ming and Qing dynasties were the peak period of the naming patterns of intellectuals, and most of the famous historical books were full of allusions.
It was probably at that time that the so-called "Songs of the South for Men and the Book of Songs for Women" became popular.
The academic elegance of naming in Qing Dynasty remained until the Republic of China.
The names of many famous people in the Republic of China have a low repetition rate, and most of them have rich meanings.
Let's start lifting chestnuts.
Wang Guowei (including former name Wang Guozhen). "The Book of Songs, Daya, King of Literature": "The kingdom is born, and Wei Zhou is the Zhen."
Liang sicheng. "Poetry, Shang Song, Na": "Tang Sun played fake, and I thought about it."
Lin Huiyin. The Book of Songs, Elegance, Si Qi: "A great man with an emblem sounds like a hundred men".
Huiyin, a beautiful reputation. This sentence is a blessing to Daxian (Zhou Wenwang's wife) who will inherit the virtues and be able to have many children and grandchildren.
Lin Huiyin was named "Huiyin" in his early years, but later he was often misunderstood as a writer Lin Weiyin, so he changed it to Huiyin. Lv Sibai, a painter, also wrote this canon.
Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin are both named after The Book of Songs. They can get together, just like the golden marriage in A Dream of Red Mansions. It turns out that they were predestined!
Zhang Wentian. "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Heming": "Heming is heard in Jiugao, and it is heard in the sky."
Chen Cheng, word revision. "Zhouyi Gangua": "Rhetoric is sincere, so it is also a career."
Jiang Baili, Zhen Fang. "Zhouyi Zhengua": "Shock a hundred miles, don't mourn."
Chen Shengshen. The Analects of Confucius: "I save myself three times a day."
Dai wangshu. Li Sao: "Wang Shu was a pioneer before."
One thousand words are omitted here
Of course, there is the famous contemporary medical scientist Tu Youyou. "Xiaoya Luming Literature": "Yo Yo Luming Literature, the Ping of the Wild. I have a guest, blowing sheng. "
This naming method is also used by many celebrities in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Xiao Shushen. "The Book of Songs, Gao Feng, Yan Yan": "It's warm and good at the end, so be cautious."
Shao Xunmei. "The Book of Songs": "From grazing to returning, it is beautiful and different."
Stephen Chow. "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion": "Xiongzhou is foggy, and Juncai Xingchi."
Karen Mok. "The Book of Changes": "A gentleman's leopard changes, and his Wen Wei is also."
Mr. Jin Yong also likes to pick famous sentences from ancient poems to name characters in martial arts novels.
Ren Yingying and Ling Huchong. Tao Te Ching: "Great profits are like rushing."
mu Wanqing. "The Book of Songs Zheng Feng Wild Creeps": "There is a beautiful person, and Wan Ru is young."
He Hongyao. "Yangzhou Slow": "Read the red medicine by the bridge, and you will know who you are born for every year."
how about it? After reading these names, do you have an impulse to go to the police station to change your name?
