We are all human beings, but we are all different from each other.
They all have the same face, eyes, nose, and mouth, but they always have different personalities when they stand together.
Even if two or more people with the same name stand together, each person's unique personality can still be clearly distinguished.
I think the reason why people choose names is, on the one hand, for people other than themselves to identify them. They want to find you, except through your personality, which is this name that is like a logo and a code.
On the other hand, "Who am I?" "Where do I come from? Where do I want to go?" Your own name is invisibly a kind of belonging to life. It is the most important thing besides "I". Symbols that highlight your personality. A person who thinks about "who am I" will never question that the name he has been called thousands of times is himself.
From the day someone calls out your name, you are the first to accept it. Because when others call this name, you have a corresponding response, maybe just a look, a turn back, a soft response
The name is indeed a very interesting and profound thing. Who can fully understand it? This is a philosophy. A benevolent person sees benevolence and a wise person sees wisdom.
A person’s name is a person’s label and a person’s title. If everyone doesn't have their own name, how can you tell who is who? How do you say hello when you meet? Therefore, everyone should choose a name that is numbered to themselves.
A name is a codename or symbol, but it is not a simple codename or symbol. This just involves a question about "self-definition" answered yesterday. In short, the name represents the individual's self-understanding.
Each person is an independent individual. To a certain extent, the formation and establishment of his self-awareness are closely related to his name. A name is a specific symbol that has been repeated continuously and a lot by people around him almost since he was born - when and only when he is looking at him, so it is the most spoken word he hears, and it is also the most common word he hears. From this, he gradually understood that this symbol was related to himself. When his self-awareness was still unclear, it was the specific symbol of his name that inspired his mind and awakened his sleeping self.
Remembering his name is a new starting point. He begins to embark on a life journey of searching for himself, discovering himself, and shaping himself.
When we first enter the world, the first thing we are asked is, who are you talking about? No matter what answer we give, the first thing we need to say is our own name - this is also the answer the other party is waiting for. Although it is indeed a code name, in that situation and in countless similar or different situations in the future, this code name is ourselves, not anyone else, and it can be said that it defines us.
So, how important is a name?
In "Spirited Away", the first thing Yubaba promised Chihiro to stay was to strip her of her name - in order to completely tame Chihiro and never resist and escape. Fortunately, Xiao Bailong reminded her that your name is your only identity and your certificate of departure from this world, which saved Qianxun from forgetting and losing herself.
The movie "Call Me by Your Name" explains the meaning of names from another angle. People who love each other dedicate their names to each other (name exchange), call "you" by the name of "I", and completely devote themselves and their love to each other. It may seem contradictory, but it fully expresses complete selflessness. Projection of my soul, love to the depths, regardless of you and me, I just want to be you and become one with you.
In "Journey to the West", after Patriarch Bodhi named the stone monkey Sun Wukong, he was so excited that he danced and was overjoyed. This name means that he is no longer a wild monkey, but has truly become a "human". He has a symbol and identity that can establish himself in the human world. It is like a "pass" to enter this world, and he has been reborn. This is of course far more meaningful than the self-proclaimed "Monkey King".
There are famous eternal "three questions" in philosophy, who am I, where do I come from, and where do I go.
The meaning of the name can be seen from this. It is the starting point and destination of our self-exploration.
Buddhism believes that names with the same appearance are all unreal and false. The essence of the world is nameless and formless, and the Tathagata never comes. Bodhi is not a tree, nor is a mirror a stand. There is nothing in it, so how can it cause dust. Complete realization. Lao Tzu said at the beginning of the Tao Te Ching that Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao, and names can be named, but they are not famous. These are discussions of "name" from a higher level, far beyond the meaning of names we talk about in a general sense.
On the other hand, modern people are much more casual in choosing names than the ancients. Generally, it is the father's surname plus one or two words with meaningful meanings. The ancient Chinese (intellectuals) not only had a surname, a given name, but also a nickname and a nickname, which reflected their expectations and life ideals from different perspectives; when naming in British and American countries, in addition to the father's surname and the mother's surname; when the Arabs gave names, in addition to the father's surname, they also needed Add the father's name and grandfather's name, and write a long list. All this shows how much people in different eras and regions attach importance to names, rather than just treating them as general symbols.
This question is so funny. If not everyone has a name, how would they call each other when they meet friends, between relatives, between classmates, teachers and students? !
No matter Zhang San, Li Si, A, B, C and D, in short, it is better to have a name than to have no name at all. If you meet without a name, you will be just that person or hello? How rude!
In common names, names are like dots. Having a good name has a certain meaning, and it also reflects the cultural quality of the parents! Every parent will think carefully about whether to deal with it casually.
Besides, if not everyone has a name, how can someone who is recruiting or going to school know who has successfully applied? Who has excellent grades and so on. Even if animals, plants, movies or other things must have names, wouldn’t it be a primitive society without names?
The name should have been a symbol at first. In order to facilitate distinction, with the continuous progress of mankind, pronouns of closeness have emerged, such as surnames. I remember that in that era of my grandparents, names were still codes for distinguishing seniority. , such as Fang Ziyi, Liangziyi, etc. In this era, there is not so much emphasis on it. As long as it is easy to remember and does not repeat the same thing, everyone likes to use fashionable and personalized names. (Any similarity in personal opinions is purely coincidental)
Because when a person has a name, he has a code name. There are so many people in society, and if you have a resounding name, it will make you and me more familiar. Strangers will remember your name quickly, so it is very important to have a name and a resounding name. It will also be convenient for counting people when you work, study or participate in competitions in the future. If everyone does not have a name, how will others know whether you were the one who qualified for the job yesterday?
For most people, a name is just a symbol. For some people, it has special meaning. From the perspective of numerology, the quality of a name is related to a person's destiny in life. A person has a name for easy calling. If everyone didn't have a name, but just remembered that person's appearance, and when he saw this person, he would shout "that person", and when he saw that person, he would shout "that person" again, it would be a mess. Therefore, only the name has the reality. The second is to facilitate development. If you don’t have a name, if you do earth-shattering things, who will remember you? Don’t remember who came to you and offered you benefits? How can you achieve great success if no one praises you? For example, Guo Degang, the overlord of the cross talk world, everyone knows his name is Guo Degang. He is also a very popular star now. He plays a decisive role in the variety show, film and television circles, and cross talk circles. If he doesn't have a name, how do you think he will develop? People often say that a nobody, a person without a name, was just a pawn in ancient times. Third, names can give meaning, and names carry parents’ high expectations for their children. In addition, the name can also be linked to literature, such as "Ma Weidu", which sounds very elegant at first sight, and "Gou Sheng", which sounds like a name given to the children of poor people with little education, just in the hope that the children can be well fed.
Names are just pronouns. Without names, we can only distinguish two categories, Amao and Agou...
Names follow us throughout our lives, and maybe we have some differences with others. We have the same name, but the name still means different things to us. A name is a mark that represents a person and has a great connection with the person.
Names already carry the information of the times, are engraved with cultural concepts, and leave the imprint of family lineage. Names are usually given by parents, embodying their deep affection and ardent expectations for their children, and implying With different ideals, aspirations, hobbies and goal pursuits, it plays a subtle role in life. Names are the beginning of family education, the locking of parents’ information codes on their children’s life prospects, and the “solidifying agent” that strengthens personal aspirations or social responsibilities.
Name not only serves as a symbol of a person and has a potential impact on one's own development, but it is also an indispensable tool for communication between people throughout their lives and has certain social value. The meaning of a name will affect a person's thoughts and aspirations, and will also shape that person's personality and expertise.
If there is no name, how can we distinguish and remember who is from whom? When you go to school, you can't just point fingers and ask someone to answer a question. It's much more convenient if you call someone by name.
In social interactions, the first thing people come into contact with is the other person's name. A good name will often leave a deep impression on the other person, and the person will live up to his name. Unless the name is changed later, a person's initial name will be associated with honor, disgrace and honor throughout his life.
1. Names are a symbol that distinguishes individual differences among groups of people, so that humans can communicate in a normal and orderly manner, so everyone has a name of their own.
