Borrowing words with homophonic names
The method of naming with the same sound is to make use of the similarity or similarity in pronunciation of certain words to borrow words from each other and express emotions.
Objectively, it provides us with favorable conditions for naming with the same sound. In addition, personal names are mainly used for address, often intentionally or unintentionally showing the meaning of different words with the same pronunciation as the original word, which makes people have rich thoughts. The association gives different feelings.
For example, the names "Pang Bo", "Qian Fang" and "Qian Jin", in addition to being knowledgeable and knowledgeable, also imply another layer of meaning.
There are many names with the same sound but different shapes, which make people think of them when they hear them, making the names more connotative and memorable.
Derogatory names are mostly used in literary works. There is also a traditional custom in rural areas of our country. It is very common in rural areas to give a bad name to make a living. The derogatory names in literary works are writers’ humor. hinted. For example, in a movie we watched before, there was a confused county magistrate named "Hu Lai" in the ancient costume drama. As soon as you heard the name, you knew that he was not a good magistrate. For example, in various film, television, and novel works, such names can often be seen, and there are also various pseudonyms. For example, the heroine "Bai Dasheng" in Tie Ning's novel "How Far Is Forever" implies the sadness of "in vain". Another example is the TV series "Xinxing", which has a village cadre named "Pan Goshi" who is separated from the people. , using power to bully others, not only means "living in the world", but also sounds like "dog power", implying the meaning of "dog relying on people's power".
There is another situation of using homophonic names, and that is "beautification". By replacing a less elegant nickname with a homophone, it becomes a beautiful and profound name.
For example, the name of the famous writer Jia Pingwa evolved from the nickname "Pingwa". Another example is the nickname Xiaoya who grew up to be "Xiaoya".
In Chinese tradition, the surname and the given name are inseparable. Therefore, we must consider the homophony of names comprehensively.
For example: the word "信" has a good meaning and sound, so it is very masculine when used as a name. If the surname is Wu, then it is called Wu Xin. How does it sound different from "Wuxin"? Originally, the surname belongs to the surname and the given name belongs to the given name, but it doesn't sound good when read together. From the above examples of homophony, we can know that if the homophony is used well, the name can complement each other, but if the homophony is used poorly, it will make it easy for people to associate the person with his name, and sometimes it will leave people with a sense of ridicule. Talking point. Special attention should be paid to the homophony of surnames. Historically, homophony has been a problem. The most famous case is that of Cixi who angrily demoted Wang Guojun (same pronunciation as "the king of the country"). When the king dies and the country does not survive, it is no wonder that Cixi, the most superstitious person, is taboo. The surname "Wang" is a major surname in China, and it can be very colorful when used properly.
For example, Wang Shifu, the author of "The Romance of the West Chamber" in the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Anshi, the Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Meng and Wang Anyi, the famous writers, Wang Xizhi, the calligrapher of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Wei, the famous poet, Wang Qian, the contemporary critic, and so on. Although it is a common surname, if used improperly, it will remind people of the homophony of "death". For example, Wang Jia seems to be a good name, but it sounds similar to "dead family". Naming someone after their parents' surnames seems to be an increasingly popular trend. It would be very meaningful if the two surnames are a perfect match. For example, "Golden Pearl" is the combination of "Gold" and "Zhu". The combination of "Xin" and "Gan" is also very clever, and "Dong" and "Li" are also very meaningful combinations of two surnames. As people's cultural knowledge increases and their cultivation improves, people pay more and more attention to their own symbols - their names. Therefore, they must study carefully and think twice before making a name. Choose a good name and enjoy it for life.
