Of course, if you were not born in this place, like this place, or have some fate with this place, you can also use this place. Make a name.
The use of place names as names can be said to have existed since ancient times and continues to this day. The names of many famous scholars are related to place names. For example, Zheng Banqiao, a calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty, was born in Xinghua County, Jiangsu Province, but he Instead of using "Xinghua" as its name, it chose the word "Banqiao" from an unnamed wooden bridge on the moat of the county.
Implicit in the naming method
One of the reasons why today’s names are tacky is that they are too explicit and too obvious, such as "Zhang Wei", "Wang Gang", "Feng Ying", "Shu Qin" "These most common names are often visible at a glance and lack room for evocation. If possible, readers may wish to use implicit nomenclature, of course this requires some writing effort.
Zheng Sixiao, a poet and painter in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. After the death of the Song Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. His poems were sad, angry and desolate, expressing his longing for his motherland. Painting plum blossoms and roots, borrowing from the title poem, makes a solemn cry of "I would rather die holding the fragrance on the branches than blow it away in the north wind".

In our country’s modern national liberation revolutionary movement, the ideals of our predecessors are often linked to the destiny of the country and nation, showing noble pursuits and lofty spirits.
Allusive naming method
What is allusive naming method? In layman's terms, it is to use a meaningful sentence in ancient literature and choose one or two characters to name it. For example, Comrade Mao Zedong is named Runzhi. The meanings of "Zedong" and "Runzhi" complement each other. The name is used in "Mencius· A sentence from "Teng Wen Gong": "If the husband nourishes it, it will be between the king and the son."
The allusive naming method is a nomenclature method with a higher cultural level, which generally requires the namer to be familiar with ancient documents, or at least Only after reading some ancient books can we use allusions to name. In our country's rich classical classics, there are many words with profound meanings that we can use as a reference when choosing names.
The ancients were very particular about the use of allusions, and there are roughly the following categories:
Mingyong category: Meng Haoran, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, took his name from "Mencius": "I am good at raising myself." Awesome spirit."
Hidden usage: Pan Yue from Jin Dynasty, whose courtesy name is Anren, uses the meaning of "the benevolent people enjoy mountains" in The Analects of Confucius. However, using Yue instead of mountain is not a direct quotation.
During the Warring States Period, the descendant of Confucius was named Kong Bai. In the character Zi, "Shang" and "Shang" are connected. "Shang Bai" is the custom of the Yin people, and the Kong family is a descendant of the Yin Shang Dynasty, which makes his name dark. It means remembering the motherland.
Inverted usage: Yi Sanjie in the Ming Dynasty was given the courtesy name Kanghou; Wang Zijie in the Qing Dynasty was given the courtesy name Jin San. They all use the "Book of Changes·Jin Gua" "Jin, Kanghou uses Xi Ma Fan Shu, day and day three times".
Loose usage: Ming Dynasty Wang Shu, courtesy name Zongguan, uses the words "My way is consistent" and "The way of the Master is only loyalty and forgiveness" from "The Analects of Confucius".
Sometimes the allusion is not directly quoted, but slightly used to add meaning, such as the famous scholar Qian Daxin, whose courtesy name is Xiaozheng, based on the "Emperor inspects learning" in "Book of Rites·Prince Wen Wang" It is based on "Da Xin Gu Zheng, so the police are also", but changing "Drum" to "Xiao" not only echoes the word "Xin" in the name, but also avoids being too rigid.
When using allusions, you must pay attention to changes. Don't use them too plainly and become the material for others to talk and laugh. For example, during the Qianlong period, there was a person with the surname "Lou" and the last name "Gengyi", with the word "upper level" and the Tang poem "gengyi" The name "Go to the next level" includes surname, first name, and Chinese characters; but if it is too straightforward, it will make people feel dull and tasteless, and it will be self-defeating.
Expectation naming method
In life, it is inevitable to have various desires, such as hoping for health and longevity, planning to make a fortune, or hoping to become talented and famous, make achievements, and serve the motherland. When a young couple gives birth to a child, they are not only full of love for this new life, but also full of enthusiasm. The idiom "hope that the child will become a dragon" very vividly depicts the parents' longing and expectation for their children, because there was no such thing in the parents' generation. The wish to be realized strongly requires that it be realized in the child; and the wish that has been realized is hoped that the next generation can inherit and carry it forward. This kind of thinking of parents is often very prominent in naming their children, so the expectation type Nomenclature is a widely used nomenclature.
Here are several types of expected nomenclature
(1) Wealth
(2) Longevity type
(3) Auspicious type
Admire the method of naming
As the saying goes: "People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places." Who does not admire the heroes of the past and present, and who does not admire the learned people with noble moral character? From admiring to learning, even imitating, even my own handwriting is willing to be the same as theirs. This is admiration style nomenclature. Although people have different focuses, their moral standards are basically the same, and they are willing to use heroic examples to inspire their own morale in life.
There are roughly two forms of admiration-style naming. One is to completely use a pretentious name, and the other is to express admiration in the name.
