"Uncle, young man." - This character also has the same root as the character "俶". "Erya" Exegesis says "俶, Shi Ye", "俶, Zuo Ye", which means those who have just risen up and are new.
"Ji, Gui Ye. After A and B, Gui is at the bottom, and so is Ji. "——This word "Shuowen" believes that the grass above is "child province", which is the youngest compared to the young grass. No matter there are more or less than four, "Ji" is the last. If there are only Three, it is the third. "Spring, summer, autumn and winter" are divided into three months "Meng, Zhong and Ji" (such as Mengchun, Zhongchun and Jichun), so they are called "Four Seasons". "Lao San" has "Taibo, Zhong Yong" on it, so the last son can also be called Ji. Ge Hong, a famous Taoist in the Jin Dynasty, was also named Zhichuan. /p>
According to historical facts, with the exception of "Ji" being the last son, most of the younger brothers were called "Uncle". King Wu of Zhou all named his younger brothers "Uncle" because he was the second eldest son. Please see "Historical Records". "Guan Cai Family": "Wu Wang has ten brothers from the same mother...the eldest son is Boyikao, the next is Wu Wangfa, the next is Guan Shuxian, the next is Zhou Gongdan, the next is Cai Shudu, the next is Cao Shu Zhenduo, the next is Cheng Shuwu, the second is Huo Shuchu, the second is Kang Shufeng, and the second is Ran Jizai. The third to the eighth are all uncles, and the tenth is the youngest. Lao Zhou used the honorific title Gongdan, but the following text said "Feng Shudan was granted the title of Duke of Zhou". Qu Yuan's "Tian Wen" also said that "when it comes to attacking Zhou Gong, Shu Dan will not be praised", so "Shu Dan" is used. Because he is only the fourth child and not the youngest, he is not called "Ji Dan". In ancient times, names were chosen in different stages. The nickname, first name, and last name were chosen first. For example, Cao Cao's nickname is Ah Ma, his given name is Cao, and his given name is Mengde. Characters represent virtue, and the meanings of names and characters should correspond. For example, morality refers to conduct. Confucius's son was named Li and had the courtesy name Boyu. The selection of the name is a matter of crown ceremony (usually at the age of twenty), and the ranking of brothers can be determined at that time. In addition, the legends recorded in Wei Shu also include the names of "Bo, Zhong, Shu, Ji and Shao" of the "Five Dragons of the Huang Family". "Preface to the Spring and Autumn Ming Calendar": "Huang Bo, Huang Zhong, Huang Shu, Huang Ji, Huang Shao, five surnames of the same period, all ride dragons, and they are called Five Dragons." If there are only five brothers, you can also rank them accordingly and call the youngest "Shao". Like Mr. Jin Yong's example above, it is more appropriate to call him "Shi Shaojie" than "Shi Mengjie".
It is inconvenient to use "Bo Zhong Shu Ji" in modern naming, because the name is given early and it is not known who is the youngest. I was investigating dialects in Yueqing, Zhejiang, and the speaker was the learned Mr. Zhao Yi. Mr. Zhao Yi has eleven children. At first, he named them "Bozi, Zhongzi, Shuzi, Jizi" according to "Brothers, Zhongzi, Uncle Ji" (only in terms of ranking, regardless of gender, the uncle was an elegant girl. At that time I also help my father with pronunciation). He did not cycle through the following children, but called them "Chunzi, Xiazi, Qiuzi, and Dongzi". The ninth child was called "Nineteen". When the tenth child was born, the husband thought it was the last child, so he took the word "last son" with the meaning of "last son". Later, the youngest eleventh son was born, and he was named "Tuzi". "Tuzi" is the combined text of eleven. If in ancient times, it should be this "soil son" brother who could be called Ji Zi.
