No, every star does not have to have a stage name. Stage names were only given to artists who debuted in the 1990s or 2000s. After 2000, there were very few stars using stage names.
With the advent of the talent show era, the possibility of stage names existing is getting lower and lower. Moreover, as the times progress, people have more channels to obtain information, so when naming their children, they become more and more fashionable. , the stage name does not have much value.
Specifically, these are stars without stage names: Lu Han, Li Yifeng, William Chan, Yang Yang, Zhang Yixing, Kris Wu, and Huang Zitao must all be their real names, and they are all names they have had since birth.
The origin of stage names:
As early as ancient society, there was a custom among Chinese people to put a certain occupation or a certain specialty in front of their names. Such as: "Pao Ding", "Qin Gao", "Stealing Zhi", etc. Although these names are not stage names, they have the characteristics of stage names and can be said to be the oldest source of stage names in my country. The stage names of Chinese craftsmen in the past dynasties often adopt this pattern, but the subsequent function is not the first name, but the surname. ?
For example, Zhang Wanquan from Tianjin in the late Qing Dynasty was famous for his clay figures, so he took the stage name "Clay Figure Zhang" and passed it down from generation to generation. Many of his stage names are inseparable from his popular nickname.
Those who make a living from skills rely on skills. The level of one's skills is not something to brag about, it must be recognized by society, and a stage name is often a reflection of people's recognition of the artist.
