Ranking by generation is a cultural custom in China. It symbolizes the unity of the family and the approval and respect for the ancestors. Generally, boys will be named according to their generation, while girls will be named randomly. With the development and innovation of society, this concept has gradually changed, and now many people no longer follow generational lines. Although people of the older generation are more conservative in their thinking, it is understandable. This is a manifestation of emphasizing feelings and recognizing their ancestors. If someone is not named according to their generation, it is considered that they do not recognize their ancestors.
Of course, I don’t actually mean to deny my ancestors. There are restrictions on naming by generation, and it is often difficult to choose a good name. The name is used by the child for a lifetime. It is related to life and is indeed important. of. Let me give you a suggestion. It depends on the actual situation. If the character "generation" is in line with the eight characters and five elements, and the meaning is good, then use it. If it's really difficult to put together a good name, then don't use it. As for the elders, you can explain to them that it is reasonable and does not mean to deny the ancestors. It is just that the name is related to the child's life and must be taken seriously. As long as you express your intention, the elders will understand.
