The connection between names and characters:
1. Similar meanings
The meanings of "name" and "character" are similar or "Zi" is a further elaboration of "name", for example: Qu Yuan's name is Ping, and his character is Yuan. "Yuan" means broad and flat.
2. Opposite meanings of words
The meanings of "name" and "character" are opposite, for example: Han Yu, the character retreats. Later generations usually use two characters as "zi", for example, Zhuge Liang's character is Kongming. The ancients usually respected each other by calling them by their first names, and also called themselves by their first names when showing humility. For example, the "Ji" in "Otherwise why would Ji be here?" means that Xiang Yu calls his own name to express respect for the other party.
Alternative names:
In addition to names and characters, the ancients also had nicknames. An alias is a title other than a first name and a given name. In ancient times, in order to respect others, people generally did not call them by their names, but called them by nicknames. Numbers and names are not necessarily meaningfully related. The number can have two characters or more than three characters.
For example: Lu You, nicknamed Fang Weng; Tao Qian, nicknamed Mr. Wuliu; Su Shi, nicknamed Dongpo Jushi. Sometimes nicknames with many characters can be shortened to two characters, such as Su Dongpo.
