The excellent traditional virtues of the Chinese nation will never go out of style.
In rural genealogy records, no matter how big or small your official position is, no matter how much money you have, how many generations or generations you are ranked in, the word will never change.
Basically every family has a genealogy. Civilized families also have very standard and thought-provoking records of family mottos and traditions. Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, people gather in the ancestral hall to face the memorial tablets of their ancestors. They not only listen to the teachings of the patriarchs, but also recite family traditions and mottos.
If everyone abides by family mottos and follows public order and good customs, then the social atmosphere will definitely be better.
In rural areas, genealogy will be compiled after a while, and the registration is basically based on seniority. Moreover, many people now name their children based on seniority. Some people do not name their children according to seniority, but some do. A backup name is chosen based on seniority!
In rural areas, no matter what your name is, when compiling a genealogy, you still have to name it according to seniority. It is also easy for future generations to understand. Which generation does he belong to? , he also knows his own generation. This name is rarely made public and is only found in genealogies.
Chinese society has an old folk tradition of naming according to seniority: as long as there is Chinese culture and Chinese characters, the Chinese language will never go out of style! ! !
Why is naming according to traditional seniority not “popular” nowadays? Deeper reasons and factors: In today's Chinese social era, in a short period of time, Chinese traditional culture has been strongly impacted by Western culture. Today's Chinese education is strongly influenced and influenced by "Western-style" education. Many countries People like to be so-called fashionable, have a foreign charm, and speak foreign words. They generally think that if they are named according to their traditional generation, it seems that they are very vulgar and "local..." It seems that they are very pedantic and "feudal." "Being behind" seems to appear that one is "not advancing with the times" and so on.
In my humble opinion, in today’s Chinese society, many Chinese people are not interested in naming according to traditional seniority. This is just a temporary social phenomenon. Once time goes by, it will mess up the humanities and ethics of Chinese society. In the pedigree culture of the patrilineal (father's surname) clan, one does not know one's own human status and seniority. Everyone is of the same age, and there is no concept and concept of human relations and seniority, and the order of seniority and youth. If this continues, future generations will be The whole society is in chaos, and they have lost their own human ethics, human principles and morals...
I believe that after a period of time, many Chinese people will naturally be rational and rational and fully aware of their faults. , mistakes and shortcomings, they have returned to the Chinese patrilineal (father's surname) clan genealogy culture, naming their children and themselves according to the traditional generation; they must be inherited from the ancestors, passed down from generation to generation, and passed on from generation to generation. The descended Chinese patrilineal (father's surname) clan genealogy culture and pedigree generational generation culture, the classic sacred words of Chinese humanistic ethics and traditional culture, have been tested and verified by the times for 5,000 years of the Chinese nation, and they must have their own principles and truths for their reproduction. ! ! !
Of course not out of date! ! !
How can one mess with seniority?
There are two reasons. First, the name was chosen during the Cultural Revolution to chase celebrities. Second, many people now like to give their children two-character names. The name must follow the generation of three characters: surname, generation, and first name.
Old traditions have old reasons. 1. In ancient times, people gathered in families and rarely moved around to settle down. 2. In ancient times, families were powerful and seniority was very important. Therefore, a clan that gathered together formed a special custom culture in which seniority and name were linked based on objective actual conditions.
Nowadays, each generation is rushing around to study and work, choosing a place to settle down, and the family has been dispersed. The generational culture has lost its actual meaning and is just a habitual symbol.
In addition, the words "marry" and "marry" when most young people get married no longer have the traditional meaning. Often the result of marriage is not that the woman leaves her own family and enters the man's family (family). Nowadays, it is more common for men and women to separate from their original families and establish a new family. The new family is not part of the original family/family, and it is not necessarily in the man/woman's original city. Even during the Spring Festival, we will visit the boy’s parents this year and visit the girl’s parents’ house next year, alternating between the two places. Moreover, now that the law stipulates that men and women have the same rights to give their children surnames, and even surnames are equal, what meaning does the font size of seniority have?
Some people always feel that “how can seniority be messed up!” Others feel that “Chinese culture will never go out of style.” They are just shouting slogans and fail to realize the essence of cultural development and spread. They feel that seniority cannot be messed up, just like many people a hundred years ago felt that the world could not live without an emperor and could not accept the strange form of the "Republic of China". People who feel that Chinese culture will never go out of style can choose to have women’s feet bound and men’s hair tied in pigtails at home. When their parents die, most of their family property is buried with them. It is best to be buried instead of cremated.
Whether it is popular or not, our village also chooses names like this now, and all the men are like this
My hometown is Hunan Yes, I am born in 1985. The children of my generation are still named according to their seniority, but the children of our next generation are not named according to the genealogy because the ancestral hall in our hometown has collapsed for ten years. There are already ten houses and nine empty houses, and all the young people have left. I have never seen what a family tree looks like until I grow up.
Modern society has seriously impacted the traces left by the past farming civilization. In the future, there will definitely be fewer and fewer people named according to their seniority.
Our family is still like this
