Name your child
For each person, a name is a code that distinguishes him from others, and this code will accompany the person throughout his life.
Therefore, when a child is born, parents have to give their child a name, usually two names, a nickname and a big name. Nicknames, that is, nicknames or nicknames, are given by family members, elders or people who are particularly close to you. A daimyo is a scientific name or an official name, which is used in formal occasions after going to school or working. Naming is also called naming. The name of a child contains the expectations and high hopes of the parents, so among the people in ancient Huaiqing Prefecture, people paid more attention to naming their children. How to choose a child's name must first follow public order and good customs, and then it must be meaningful. However, due to differences in eras, people's cultural levels and ideological concepts, the names given to children, especially boys, have distinct characteristics of the times in each era.
Before the founding of New China, due to poor living and medical conditions, the survival rate of newborns was low, and the living environment of young children was also relatively poor. Therefore, people believe that the meaner the child's name, the less likely the evil spirits will notice him and the easier it will be to support him. Therefore, in ordinary households, those illiterate parents randomly give their children some vulgar names such as Gouwa, Goudan, Maoshao, Lala, Sheeppen, Black Pig, Donkey, Little Stinky, Brick, and Pimple. Because such names were quite common in that era and everyone was accustomed to them, so no one would laugh at anyone.
After the founding of New China, with the continuous deepening of the national literacy campaign and the vigorous development of education, people's cultural level and cognitive abilities have improved to varying degrees. Therefore, naming children has gradually evolved from vulgar to elegant.
In the early 1950s, when New China was just founded, the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, so people followed the situation and named their children Jianguo, National Day, Peace, Aid Korea, Resist the United States, strengthen the country, etc.
In the late 1950s, due to the rise of the People's Commune and the "Great Leap Forward" movement, many children were named Commune, Leap Forward, Satellite, Jianshe, and Jianzhuang. .
In the early 1960s, society was basically stable and life was gradually getting better. Therefore, people psychologically prayed for peace and pursued wealth. Children were called to bring happiness, wealth, and blessings. There are more and more names with names such as peace, wealth, wealth, eternal honor, and luck.
In the late 1960s and 1970s, due to the profound impact of the unprecedented "Cultural Revolution", some with distinct political overtones such as the Cultural Revolution and Weidong Names such as , Yonghong, Weihong, anti-revisionist, serving the people, revolution, Xiangdong, and Xiangyang came into being.
In the 21st century, people are easy to accept new things and especially love new trends. Therefore, young parents will be creative, unconventional, or even mysterious when naming their children. For example, some people name their children Wang Zi, Bi Xia, Xie Xie, Zhen Haipi, Ai Shunzhi, Yao Shunyu, Ji Changming, Chen Jisihan, etc. Especially one named Xuan Qinglu. Without the pinyin xuān bìng dá, I believe not many people would be able to pronounce these three rare characters with complex glyphs.
However, most of the trendy names mentioned above are names that are not intended to be added to the family tree. If you want to be added to your family's family tree, you need to get a great name. Parents are very cautious when it comes to naming their children, and they always ask local knowledgeable gentlemen to name them. Generally speaking, three principles should be followed when choosing a name: First, in the past, if a boy wanted to be included in the family tree, he had to be named according to the seniority words determined by the family. If the child is born with the character "loyalty", then the name must have the character "loyalty" in it. Secondly, the child's name should be avoided using the same characters or sounds as the names of the elders in the family. Third, according to the rules of the five elements to overcome obstacles, if the person is short of gold, most names will use the word "金" as the radical; if the person is short of water, then the name will use "three points of water" as the radical.
The name was finally decided upon after repeated careful deliberation, deliberation, and selection.
In short, naming is also a reflection of culture and incorporates the ardent hopes of the elders.
A good name should be: nice to read, loud to say, beautiful to write, rich in meaning, profound in meaning, and unique.
