"Qiansun Zhao Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, Feng Chen Chu Wei, Jiang Yan Han Yang", many Chinese people are familiar with these four-character ballads. Even an illiterate person has heard of hundreds of surnames. Surname is the most important personal characteristic of a person and the imprint of a family. It is closely related to sociology, history and tradition.
The earliest dictionary in China, Shuo Wen Jie Zi, explains the name as follows: "A name is self-proclaimed, from the mouth, from the evening, and the evening is invisible, so it is named after the mouth." Our understanding is that "name" is composed of invisible "destiny" and visible, shouting and meaningful text symbols. "Destiny" belongs to the intangible, silent, but spiritual negative substance, that is, the so-called "dark matter" that modern western scientists are exploring. "Name" is a tangible, phonetic and meaningful character symbol, which belongs to masculine substance. The "name" composed of these two kinds of yin and yang substances represents the "fate" of people and things, not just a simple code name.
Name inherits people's feelings, intentions and aspirations; Names contain the essence, spirit and spirit of people. Ordinary people must have surnames and surnames, which are not only the representatives of human symbols, but also the main carriers of human information transmission. Therefore, people cherish their surnames and surnames from ancient times to the present. Confucius said, "If the name is irregular, the words are not smooth.". Su Dongpo said: "The name in the world can't be deceived." Yan Fu said: "One name stands, and the ten-day month lingers." All the sages have revealed the importance of names to people. I believe a good name will help you gain fame and fortune, succeed in your career and live a happy life!
When a baby comes into the world, every parent wants to give their child a resounding name. It can be said that they have racked their brains and tried their best to think about the name of their child. Some of them look through Ci Hai for those famous sayings, while others ask relatives and friends to provide a name plan and choose from them. Some simply go to the naming company to seek a good name. No matter how to name their children, it shows that parents have the same wish, that is, they hope their children can have an auspicious name. The name is not only a symbol and title of a person to accompany his life, but also a microcosm of his life to some extent. From the decomposition of a person's name, we can see the family's hopes, my interests, hobbies, ambitions, sentiments, ambitions and ideals, as well as the friendship, customs, folk customs, characteristics of the times and so on. Some people think that a person's name is just a simple code or symbol, which can be named casually. In fact, it is not the case. Since birth, a person's blood type, circadian rhythm and internal information have been determined, and what people can see or greet each other every day is a well-known and customary name, while the deeper meaning of life implied in the name is inadvertently ignored. Writing is like a person, people are like their names, and their names are irregular. In the long-standing cultural development of China, a person's name is a kind of culture to some extent, and it is by no means synonymous with meaningless and arbitrary choice. In life, we can often see that some people are gentle and approachable only from the differences in personality; Some people have a bad temper, and when something goes wrong, they go on the rampage and get very excited without saying a few words. Others feel uncomfortable when others call their names for no reason. This is because there is information disorder in their names. Everyone has his own career, his own hopes and pursuits, especially in modern society. For some people, career is his life, even more important than life. But for everyone, the meaning of doing business is very different and far away. For some people, success is easy, easy to get, and brilliant achievements, fame and fortune, if you don't do it, you will be successful in official career; For others, doing business is always full of difficulties, working hard, running around, getting nothing for nothing, getting nothing for nothing, and never feeling satisfied. Some people even go through hardships and fail in their careers. Because of this, some people are very enterprising, but they never dare to do it vigorously. Even if they do it, they are always worried and have an uncertain future. Basically, people's wealth is obtained through hard work. In fact, a person's name has a certain relationship with the development of economy. A company needs a loud name to represent the corporate image in order to gather money, so does a person's name. As an individual, if his name has bad information that affects the economy, it will also have a certain impact on his accumulation of money.
In today's society, a person's name, as a symbol, conveys a specific personalized meaning. More importantly, in the eyes of China people, a name has an important meaning in a person's life, which has gone beyond the meaning of a name as a symbol. Nowadays, the name has the information of the times, engraved with the cultural concept, left the brand of family lineage, condensed the parents' deep affection and ardent expectations for their children, and implied different ideals, hobbies and goals, which played a subtle role in life. The name is the beginning of family education, the parents' lock on the information code of their children's life prospects, and the "curing agent" to strengthen personal wishes or social responsibilities. As a symbol of a person, a person's name not only has a potential impact on his own development, but also is an indispensable tool for communication between people, which has a certain social value. When we mention a person's name, we immediately think of his appearance, temperament, temperament, experience and deeds. Just like a famous sentence by Li Yi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: "that hearing first your surname, I thought you a stranger, then hearing your given name, I remembered your young face". Suddenly I met a friend who had been away for many years, but I was at a loss. My impression was still very vague after I reported my last name. Only when the name is mentioned, my friend's old voice and smile stand out in my mind, just like yesterday. It can be seen that names are closely related to people. A person's name should be with him all his life, and he will always honor or disgrace others. A person can change or abandon him, but he will never betray his master. A person's name is a person, and you can think of him by his name. In social communication, people first come into contact with each other's names. A good name often leaves a deep impression on each other, while an ordinary name often leaves a deep impression. Sometimes a name may even change a person's fate. In the history of our country, there are many anecdotes about lucky or unlucky names, some of which are almost absurd, but we can see a general social mentality from them. If you win a name, you can become a Jackie Chan. The loss of a name can be a worm, which is really "success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He". A successful name can not only motivate yourself to make progress, but also be the first step towards society and success.
Chinese names are composed of square Chinese characters with one stroke and one stroke. They have both images, numbers, sounds and meanings. These images, numbers, sounds and meanings all have the contents of Yin and Yang and five elements. Each Chinese character has something in common with the symbol source of Zhouyi Bagua, and it is not created at will. It is also like the source of gossip, "look up at the sky, look down at the law on the ground, look at birds and beasts in the text, be suitable for the ground, get close to the body, go far away from everything, in order to understand the virtue of the gods and be kind to all things." For example, the words "water" and "fire" obviously evolved from the divinatory symbols of "Kan" and "Li" in the eight diagrams. "Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers" is the symbolic symbol of natural objects in the universe. Each Chinese character is equivalent to a "small Tai Chi", and through the use of them by countless people for thousands of years, the concept of Chinese characters has been strengthened, and certain information must be stored in the characters.
the glyph in the name is equivalent to the "symbol" in Buddhism and Taoism, the pronunciation of the word, the "curse" and the meaning of the word, which is equivalent to the "idea" in Qigong. When writing a name, it is equivalent to drawing a symbol, when calling a name, it is equivalent to chanting a spell, and at the same time consciously or unconsciously adding ideas to the name. Ideas, an invisible force with great energy, can change some things, including fate. According to the viewpoint that "all things are alike, all things are animistic, and all things are psychic", there must be many mysteries and information hidden in Chinese characters, which are worthy of our exploration, research and application. Therefore, Chinese characters have long been used in China to predict the good and bad fortune of people and things, and there are many experts in this field, such as Xie Shi in Song Dynasty, one of whom is very famous.
A Japanese expert who studied Chinese characters in China once said with emotion: "Chinese characters in China are like' integrated circuits', which store more information." Therefore, some people can measure some surprising and convincing things from a single Chinese character or a name composed of Chinese characters. Moreover, it is not surprising that the information contained in the names of Chinese characters can influence the fate of people and things. According to modern research, it is also found that Chinese characters can be used to diagnose diseases, treat diseases and develop intelligence, which has attracted attention in the American scientific community.
It is true that the name structure of China people has certain scientific and cultural value. As we all know, Chinese characters have something in common with the Eight Diagrams of Zhouyi, so the name structure composed of Chinese characters must contain some information in the words, from which we can spy out the family hopes, my interests, hobbies, ambitions, sentiments, ambitions and ideals.
As for the generation, I understand it this way:
In addition to the name, the ancient people in China often had characters, numbers and so on, which later evolved into a family-style naming method based on "surname+clan+name". Generations, as a convention in genealogy, can not be lightly changed. In addition to stipulating the vertical blood relationship of the family, it also implies fame and ideals. However, if the name is given by seniority, then the first and second words of the name are fixed. Therefore, the choice of the third word is greatly restricted, and it is even impossible to find a suitable name combination, thus affecting the happiness of a lifetime!
Nowadays, people no longer pay attention to the conventions of family genealogy, and they choose their names according to their favorite methods, so it is no longer important to name them according to their seniority. However, the name should have some China characteristics: with the development of economy, the enrichment of people's material and cultural life, and the increasing infiltration of eastern and western cultures, the diversification of names has become an irreversible trend of the times. However, I still hope that parents should try not to completely westernize their children's names. After all, it is best for China people to name their children with our China characteristics!
