The pronunciation of Chinese characters in names is not elegant
As a code name for everyone, the name is used for address in most cases, and "reading" is also one of it. The most basic functionality. At the same time, the purpose of naming our children is mainly to meet his needs in social interactions. In other words, names are social. To do this, they must be read in many cases. A name with a loud, melodious and melodious sound will undoubtedly be more conducive to interpersonal communication, increase the weight in social interactions, and shorten the distance between you and others. On the contrary, difficulty will increase and obstacles will occur. As far as the characteristics of Chinese characters in our country are concerned, there are too many homophones. When we read a name, what comes to mind is not only the meaning of these words, but also the meaning of their homophones. Sometimes the latter Still the main thing. For example, when we see the two names "Wu Di" and "Peng You", what we think of is not only the two people's surnames Wu and Peng respectively, but also the single names Di and You. . "Invincible" and "friend" are two everyday expressions. Especially these two daily terms are the main reason why their parents named them in the first place and why society remembers them. In this case, if we can make use of the same or similar pronunciation between words when naming, we will naturally come up with an elegant and unique name. However, if we use inappropriate words, it will make people feel uncomfortable. Make poor associations, thus affecting the quality of social interactions. Regarding the latter, it is what we call poor pronunciation.
Therefore, we are required to consider whether it has indecent homophones when selecting certain words as names, or whether it will cause other problems when combined with surnames and other words. Indecent pronunciation. The above are all things that should be paid attention to when naming. Due to the extensive and profound Chinese character culture in our country, it is very common for a word to have multiple sounds or a word to have multiple meanings, and names have the dual function of being written and read. They are also affected by this character feature invisibly, and sometimes they are even used. Tired of pronunciation. If we don't pay attention to its polyphony and polysemy when naming, we will easily make a joke. Some people's names may seem very elegant on the surface, and there is nothing wrong with them. However, because they sound the same or similar to other indecent words and phrases, they can easily cause misunderstandings and even be used as a joke. For example, girls' names are Zhenyin, Zhenying, Yiying, boys' names are Jianren, Jianmin, etc. They all look good, but they also have "true obscenity", "meaning obscenity", "***" ", "untouchable" and other homophonic sounds make it an indecent name based on pronunciation. Also like Ru Feng, Cai Dao, Lu Hui, He Shang, Tang Chongshang, Gong Anju, Tao Huayun, Li Zongtong, Zhang Shuji, Bao Minhua, Zi Yanliang, Hu Lijing, Shen Jingbing, Ying Daoyuan and other names, There is nothing wrong with it literally, but it almost always causes misunderstanding when read out. Because Rufeng is a homophone to "Rufeng", Cai Dao is a homophone to "Chopper', Lu Hui is a homophone to "ash", He Shang is a homophone to "Monk", Tang Chongshang is a homophone to "Tangqiu", Miyagishikku "Public Security Bureau" is homophonic, Tao Huayun is homophonic to "Peach Blossom Luck", Li Zongtong is homophonic to "President Li", Zhang Shuji is homophonic to ", Secretary Zhang", Bao Minhua is homophonic to "popcorn", Zi Yanliang is homophonic to "white eyes" Wolf.' is a homophone, Hu Lijing is a homophone to "fox spirit", Shen Jingbian is a homophone to "psychopath", Ying Daoyuan is a homophone to "*** inflammation". Because some of the homophones of these names are idioms in daily life, and some are derogatory words that are easily misunderstood, the homophones seem a bit unserious and not solemn enough. They are easy to make people laugh in public, and even the homophones turn into nicknames. It is easy to cause psychological burden and make people regret. For this reason, according to a newspaper report, a few years ago, a man named Ru Feng went to the public security bureau to ask for a name change but was rejected because his name was easily associated with "Ru Feng". Too annoying. However, the person in charge of the name change at the Public Security Bureau said that his situation did not meet the requirements for name change. He did not have the same name as someone else, nor did his name contain uncommon or traditional Chinese characters, nor did he use vulgar or indecent words in his name. Character.
Although he was dissatisfied with these regulations after learning about them, he had no choice but to complain that he had not chosen a good name. There is also a man named Zhang Shengshu who has a personal experience, saying that his own name has many homophones, but none of them are very good. People have been giving him nicknames since he was a child. Over time, there are so many people that he complained about the name given by his father, and even formed a nickname because of it. The habit of being sensitive to names.
He said that when he was a child, it was normal for people to ridicule him for "win first and then lose." His classmates also wrote a ballad about his name and sung it: "Zhang Shengshu, pineapple cake, lose left Zhang, big fat pig." When he grew up, he would write articles. At that time, he discovered that his name could also be pronounced as "Changshenxu" or "Zhang wins the rat". Even he was glad that no one called him that when he was young, otherwise he would be in agony. Of course, the pronunciation of some people's names is not elegant, and sometimes it is not a problem with the name itself, but a new problem that arises after it is paired with the surname. Many of the above examples fall into this category. In addition, words such as Wei, Jia, Zhong, and Xin all have very good meanings in Chinese. They are also words that many people like to use when naming. Names made with these words include Zhang Wei, Liu Wei, Tian Wei, Li Jia, Xu Jia, Li Zhong, Han Xin, etc. are also good. However, if the names are given by people with surnames such as Yang, Wang, Song, and Wu, especially if the single names are Yang Wei, Wang Jia, Song Zhong, and Wu Xin, it will be easy for people to confuse their homophonic names with "Yang Du" and "Death". "Home", "Farewell", "Wuxin", etc. are not considered good names if they are combined together. In addition, for example, Wu, Wu, Mo, Mao and other common surnames have indecent homophones such as "无", "无", and "有 (sound m added, dialect '无')" etc. , so when associated with a name, it often changes its nature. Words such as "Fu", "Lu" and "Shou" are originally very auspicious, but when paired with the above three surnames, although they are written as "Wu Fu", "Wood", "Mo Lu", "Mao Lu" "Longevity", but when read out it becomes "without blessing", "without virtue", "without salary", "with longevity", which makes people feel uncomfortable. Another example is that someone is named Wu Shigou. When read in succession, it means "I am a dog." Wu Cai and "Wu Cai" have close pronunciation and are not elegant. Especially when naming the surname Wu, you need to pay more attention to it. There have been many lessons. According to the "History of Jin", there were two people named Wu De in the Jin Dynasty, one of whom was the admiral and the other was Daru Huachi (county magistrate) of Jiangning County. Later, both of them were killed by others. Killing. Another example is that in the Ming Dynasty, there were two people named Wu Li and one named Wu Xin. One of the people named Wu Li was the magistrate of Jinhua County, and Wu Xin was the magistrate of Xinle County during the Hongwu period. The parents' officials were both "without (Wu) reason" and "without (Wu) trust", which shows how inappropriate the name is. As for other surnames, of course the same situation applies. For example, according to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", there was a Jinyiwei in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. The commander's name was Song Zhong, and he wanted to marry the daughter of the Korean prince Li Shanchang. When the marriage was discussed, Li Shanchang was lying in bed. When he asked his name, he answered "Song Zhong". As a result, Li Shanchang was angry and kicked him out of the house. . In fact, it is no wonder that Li Shanchang was angry. After all, the sick people are most afraid of having two brothers. When they were worried, someone used the homophonic sound of their names to "send death". Within two years, Song Zhong and Yan couldn't help but get angry. Soldiers died in front of the battle, obviously because of improper homophony of their names, which prevented them from living for a lifetime. From the above examples, it can be seen that the correct homophony can make the name shine, but the improper homophony will damage the dignity in the least, and hinder the future in the worst case. Indeed. We need to pay attention to the matching of names when naming, and spend time carefully considering the pronunciation of names, so as to minimize misunderstandings caused by improper pronunciation and avoid repeating the lessons of improper pronunciation of names. There are countless lessons about improper pronunciation of names. In the past, Chiang Kai-shek was homophoned as "Chiang deserves to die", Liao Yifu was homophoned as "peeing in a pot", Hao Yuren was homophoned as "good woman", Zhu Shi was homophoned as "pig shit", and Ding Huisi was homophoned as "dinghui". Ji Dan, Sha Zhu, Mei Qian, Wu Dayong, Li Taofen, etc. are homophonic to "egg", "kill pig", "no money", "no big use", "Li digs out dung", etc. respectively. These names originally have good meanings, but when used together with surnames, they can easily cause misunderstandings and even become the object of ridicule, so they are not considered good names. Another example is a student named Fan Zhilin in a certain medical school. When the teacher called his name, it always caused a roar of laughter. The reason was that when his last name and first name were combined, they had the same pronunciation as "Vasehne", a kind of external medicine. There is another athlete named Huang Chong. Although he has superb skills, when others call his name, they always think of him as a "locust." Another example is "Yang Wei" or "Yang Wei", "Yang Wei", etc. are all very common names, but if you think that it has the same sound as the male physiological disease "impotence", you will also find that they are not good names.
What’s more, someone once said that there are two authors in the cultural circle of a certain place, one named Song Yiping and the other named Bi Yungao, who often publish works jointly .
Both names look good literally, but if they are read together, people who don't understand the truth will mistake them for "gifting a bottle of contraceptive cream." As for the author myself, I also heard with my own ears that there was a lady named Liu Xiaojing. Her original name was Liu Jing, because when she was a child in elementary school, she was always pronounced "Liudou," by a classmate who couldn't pronounce it correctly, which she thought was indecent. , so the parents changed it to the current name. Almost everyone has encountered examples of misunderstandings due to improper pronunciation of names. Of course, these misunderstandings are not necessarily troublesome, and they may also cause misunderstandings to others unintentionally. Surprises. Especially when combined with a surname, such misunderstandings may increase a lot. No matter how thoughtful the name is, there will inevitably be unexpected situations, which sometimes make people happy and sometimes make people very embarrassed. There is such a cross talk that in the early years of liberation, there was a rickshaw driver named Wang Kezhang who was often regarded as the newly appointed cadre "Chief Wang", and some people even borrowed money from him. In this way, the rickshaw driver became a powerful section chief, and he unintentionally took advantage because of the same pronunciation. In addition, there are also people who benefit from better pronunciation of their surnames. For example, someone with the surname Hao may be considered a nice person and pleasant to listen to. For example, people with the surname Zheng are also associated with good words such as integrity and decency. These are obvious things. A few years ago, a newspaper published an article saying that in a unit, there were two leaders named Fu and Zheng, serving as the chief and deputy secretaries respectively. Among them, the person surnamed Fu is the principal secretary. Since his surname has the same pronunciation as "deputy", he is often mistaken for the "deputy secretary" by some people who do not know the situation; and although the deputy secretary Zheng is often regarded as the "chief secretary", because he has no prejudice For him, he was happy to continue the misunderstanding.
But as time went by, this misunderstanding due to the opposite pronunciation of his surname and his position made Secretary Fu very unhappy, and finally held a special meeting to declare himself. From then on, the surname was changed to Zheng. To this end, someone wrote a limerick, saying: "A secretary whose real surname was Fu was angry at being treated as a 'deputy', so he summoned the people to announce that from now on his surname would be Zheng and not Fu. ’, although this is a joke, it does reflect that if you don’t pay attention to the pronunciation of the word when naming, it is very likely to cause misunderstanding. Some of the misunderstandings caused by the inelegant pronunciation of names fall into the category of superstition. For example, in ancient times, there was a man named Wang Guojun, whose name sounded like "King of the Subjugated Country", which was extremely unlucky in the eyes of the rulers. If contemporary people encounter a Mr. Bi Peiguang in the business world, then perhaps no one will be willing to do business with him, because his name is homophonic to "will lose everything". A few years ago, there was a TV star in Singapore named Wu Gui'an who successfully played the role of To Jianan in "The Journey". However, because his name was homophonic with "No Return", he was considered unlucky and he later had to Changed his name to Wu Dairong. In addition, in Taiwan, there is also a writer Guo Yitong, who is well-known under the pen name "Bo Yang". He was sentenced to death by the Taiwan authorities a few years ago for some reasons. Later, after he was pardoned and released from prison, a fortune teller said that many things had happened in his life. This disaster is destined to happen. Because the name Guo Yitong actually means "pot with a hole": since there is a hole in the pot, he will undoubtedly be sentenced to death. Some of the above examples are true, and some are fictitious, but in the homophonic The disadvantages of indecency are the same. In our daily lives, things related to the pronunciation of names also happen. The author once heard a friend say that he had a colleague whose surname was Lai. What is her last name? She always says it is "Lai", which means "Lai" for "trust". Although she chose a better word for "Lai", she still felt uncomfortable when others called her Xiao Lai or Miss Lai. In addition, according to a newspaper report, a female college student named Pei was turned away ten times when she was looking for a job in Changchun. In the end, she asked the recruiter why this happened, and the recruiter said: Our boss said so , you are excellent in all aspects, and he is also very satisfied. It's just that he is not satisfied with your surname "Pei", which has the same pronunciation as "compensation" in "compensation".
