Our country’s name culture has a long history. The emergence of writing has given people the unique name of expressing their names in words. Identity mark. The long historical and cultural heritage has created a unique culture of names. In different historical periods, people follow different rules and customs in naming.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, naming paid attention to "five categories" and "six no's", that is, "names have five types: trust, righteousness, image, falsehood, and category" and "not based on country, not based on country" Officials are not named after mountains and rivers, hidden diseases, livestock, or utensils and coins. For example, Confucius "was born with his head on the top of the polder, so he was named Qiu Yun", which means he has an image. When Confucius' son was born, "people had fish to feed him, so he was named carp", which is "false".

During the Han Dynasty, naming was based on the trend of respecting holiness and elegance, reflecting boldness and enterprising spirit, and advocating heroism and strength. For example, the Western Han Dynasty diplomat Su Wu, the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, the strategist Ban Chao, and the historian Ban Gu.

Double-character names were banned during Wang Mang’s reign, and there are almost no double-character names in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, double-character names were popular, and the word "Zhi" was popular. For example, the Eastern Jin calligrapher Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the custom of naming people based on their seniority gradually formed, that is, the first character of the name shows seniority. The Song Dynasty liked to use the Five Elements to sequence generations, taking the meaning of the five elements' mutual development. Water produces wood, wood produces fire, and fire produces earth. For example, the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty Zhang Jun, his son Zhang Shi, and his grandson Zhang Zhuo.

From the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China, naming based on generation was widely popular. Commonly used generation names were "Shi Li Heiren", "Zi Qi Dong Lai", "Zun Kong Chong Ru", etc.

In contemporary times, although people's naming is no longer limited to the complicated rules of ancient naming, and is more about expressing ideals and beliefs, admiration, commemoration, blessing and praise, the inheritance meaning of names has never changed.
