Every name may accompany everyone's life, so naming is a major event in life. Everyone will think of a good name, so a good name is necessary. A good name can convey positive energy, and a good name is productivity!
Because names are so significant, many parents often try their best to give their children some words with good meanings in the process of naming their children, but they don't know that some words may not be appropriate. There are many taboos in China's naming culture, and some words are also taboo.
Share some questions about naming taboos:
1. Avoid cold and uncommon words.
Everyone's name is used for communication. You can't be maverick or indulge yourself, otherwise the name will lose its own value. In this interconnected era, computers and artificial intelligence have gradually replaced the vast majority of manpower, and the storage of computers is always an unconscious machine, and the Chinese characters it stores are limited to common words. If some uncommon words are used in naming, most people don't know them, which will eventually affect the communication between people. Naming with uncommon words can only increase the difficulty and trouble of others' work in vain.
The motivation for parents to choose uncommon words when choosing names is actually very simple, that is, to follow the fashion and to make their children's names more attractive. Therefore, parents often ignore a problem. The commonly used words people know are only three or four thousand words, and the names are mainly given to others, not to show off their knowledge.
For example, if you apply for a job in a company, if the supervisor doesn't recognize your name after reading your resume, then his impression of you will certainly not be clear. If he mispronounced your name when calling you, and you corrected it, this scene may put you in an awkward position. You will feel embarrassed or even angry because you have lost face, and you may be contemptuous because you don't even know your name. The most direct result is that there will be some disharmony or disharmony in the process of getting along with superiors and subordinates in the future.
Generally speaking, naming should avoid cliches and similarities, but it can't rely on the use of uncommon words. The use of uncommon words affects the image and hinders communication, which is not worth the loss.
The number of Chinese characters, Kangxi Dictionary alone has 42,000 words, 174 words. In addition, there are often very subtle differences between complex and simple characters, ancient and modern characters and traditional characters. In the past, people named themselves and liked to look up the Kangxi dictionary, which was not worth taking. Now we should learn to use reference books, and the most ideal one is Modern Chinese Dictionary. It also includes the words under each word, which is of great reference value for naming. Of course, when using this reference book, we should also pay attention to avoiding the uncommon words in it.
2. Don't be named after ancestors and sages.
It is an unwritten rule handed down from ancient times that the Han people named their ancestors. First of all, this is because the Han nationality traditionally stresses qualifications. Taking the names of ancestors as names not only ignores the order of generations; And it will be considered disrespectful to our ancestors. Second, it is determined by the particularity of the Han nationality itself. The surname of China people is to inherit the stepfather's surname first, and then give the individual a name. Different from some ethnic minorities or foreigners, other naming cultures may have traditions such as the original surname, the father's name or the original surname plus the mother's name and the father's name. China people's names usually consist of three parts, namely, their real names, their mother's surnames and their father's surnames. If China people's surnames inherit their fathers' surnames and add their ancestors' names, they are exactly the same, so you can't tell whether this person is a grandfather or a son.
Under the system, people should not only "respect their ancestors", but also call the monarch by his first name, which is regarded as a big violation. During the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, people could be sentenced to death in this article alone, and nine imperial families were also affected. So this taboo is called "national taboo". But as far as modern people are concerned, only the names are concerned, and generally the names of great men and celebrities are not used. However, because some people revere great men or celebrities, they deliberately take his name. Such as Li Dalin and Zhang Dayi, are all named after their names. Of course, people surnamed Zhao and Guan should not be named as "Zilong" or "Yunchang", otherwise they will be indistinguishable from today.
3. Avoid monotonous repetition of name fonts
Some people like to use the physical structure of Chinese characters to name their names. For example, the names Shi, Lei, Lin, Sen, Nie and Er are examples. The aesthetic effect of this naming is quite good, but it's a pity that our surnames can be used so little. And even if the three surnames are Shi, Lin and Nie, it is impossible for everyone to use this.
If the radicals of some people's names are exactly the same, it will make people feel monotonous Especially when signing calligraphy, we will feel more strongly that no matter how the names of Jiang Langtao and the radicals are arranged, there will be a dull and monotonous feeling, which will not produce arbitrary, changeable, tortuous and coherent aesthetic effects. Since it is named after Chinese characters, we should not only consider the abstract beauty of elegance and refinement, but also pay attention to the changeable image beauty when writing.
The above example shows that there is a collocation problem between the first name and the last name. If the body structure has not changed, the name will appear stiff. A complete list of name taboos
In the past, there were two techniques for naming with glyphs. One was to split the surname into fame, and the other was to add the surname to the name. The so-called dividing surnames into first names refers to intercepting a part of a name as a first name or dividing a surname into two parts as a first name. For example, Yi Yin, assistant minister of Shang Tang, took a part of the surname "Yin". In addition, modern famous musicians Nie Er, Lao She, Zhang Dagong, Ji, Dong and Yang also belong to this category. In addition, Lei Yutian and He also divided their surnames into two parts as their names. In ancient times, some people divided their names by words, such as Xie Ao, a patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. The words were true and separated from the names. The characters Sanyi in Zhang Yi's works in Ming Dynasty, Ark in Xu Fang's works, Wen Yu in Song Mei's works, Tong Ren in You Dong's works in Qing Dynasty and Ji Ren in Lin Ji's works all belong to this category. Also like Mao Qiling in the Qing Dynasty. Others divide their names into numbers, such as Gu Yue, an old man of Hu Jue, and Shuiyue Tianlu of Xu Wei in Qing Dynasty.
Adding a name means adding some strokes or radicals to a surname to form a new word, such as Linsen, Seo Woo, Jin Xin and Li Ji. Sometimes, I like to use the same names for radicals and promote it as a naming technique, such as Li Ji and Zhang Chi. This technology is not worth popularizing.
Step 4 avoid polyphonic words
Most surnames in China belong to monosyllabic characters. There are also some surnames that belong to polyphonic characters, such as the word le. This kind of surname will obviously cause trouble in communication. If the disyllabic surname is a helpless fact, then the drafting of the name can completely avoid this trouble. There is a student named Lele in a certain place in Shandong, and the teacher doesn't know how to call him in class. The teacher was stumped by this name. The three words of this name are all polyphonic and have eight pronunciations. Readers can organize themselves if they are interested.
It seems that the student's parents deliberately put shoes on the whole thing. A name has eight pronunciations. How to use it in communication situations? In the end, others dare not call if they want to, for fear that they will be laughed at if they call it wrong, and they will suffer. If others can't call, you can avoid it without calling. If a person's name is not called or used, what is the value of the name?
Therefore, polyphonic words should be avoided as much as possible. If you want to use it, it is best to link pronunciation and pronunciation into meaning to mark it.
There are quite a few polyphonic words in Chinese, usually using only one sound. When naming such polyphonic words, don't worry about misunderstanding when using them.
5, avoid reading the word "around the mouth"
You can sometimes use overlapping to name it. For example: Tintin, Fangfang, Xinxin, etc. If it is not the same name, the pronunciation of the first name and the last name should be separated by a certain distance, otherwise it will not read smoothly and will not achieve the expected effect. Some names are difficult to read. If they are not good, they will be mispronounced and misheard. The reason is that the names are awkward and almost become tongue twisters, such as Shen Jiji, I, Zhou Xiaochao, Geng, Zhang Changshang, Hu Chufu, Lin and Fu. Some of these names use two homonyms, such as Yayi and Jiangjia. Some even use two homophones, such as Gigi, Xia Ya, Xiao Chao, Khufu and Li Zhi. The former is disyllabic and the latter rhymes. Some three characters have the same rhyme, such as Zhang Changshang, Hu Chufu, Lin and Fu. The so-called "circuitous" words mainly refer to disyllabic words, overlapping words and homophones. Because the initials are the same, continuous pronunciation is laborious; Words with the same rhyme are also difficult to pronounce; Therefore, double phonology is the main reason for "around the mouth". From this point of view, avoiding the word "awkward" mainly means not naming it with disyllabic or rhyming words. It will be much easier to master this law. The standard naming of harmony beauty should be that the initials of the first name and surname are in different groups and the finals are in different categories. For example: Peng Tao, Feng Qi, Lou Yun, Qi Fei, Yu Sheng, Wan Hong, etc. These names, because of the different phonological groups of first names and surnames, have changed their sounds and are easier to read.
If the first name and surname are in the same group, or even exactly the same, as long as the relationship between vowels is handled well, the effect is also very good; On the other hand, if the first name and surname are the same, or even exactly the same, we must work hard on the initials. For example: Peng Bin, Fan Feng, Loulin, Zhang Chen, Yu Kuan, Fang Chuan, etc.
6, avoid reading indecent homophones
Some people's names look elegant on the surface, but because they will sound the same or similar to other indecent words, they will easily arouse people's ridicule, become people's banter and produce some funny comedy effects. These words can be divided into two categories: one is some idioms in life, and the other is derogatory. For example: Gong 'an (), kitchen knife (kitchen knife), Lu Hui (ashes), monk (), Peach Blossom (peach blossom), (), (candy ball), Bao (popcorn) and so on.
The above homophony makes the name appear not serious enough and solemn enough, and it is easy to give people a laughing stock in public. In addition, some names are easily misunderstood as derogatory terms, such as: Bai Yanliang (), Hu Lijing (fox), Shen Jingbing () and so on.
This homonym often becomes another name. If parents are not careful when naming names, it is easy to cause a heavy psychological burden to their children. It will be too late to regret it.
7. Avoid using too fashionable words.
At any historical stage, there will always be some extremely fashionable words. If you chase such a word when you name it, it will inevitably make people feel that their parents' cultural quality is poor, simple and vulgar, and such names are easy to repeat. The Great Founding of the People's Republic of China in the 1950s and Weidong in the 1970s can be said to be all over the country. Ma Jianguo, Wang Weidong, Liu Weidong and Zhao Weidong have thousands of faces. Because of the spread of emotions, it used to be the most fashionable thing to dissolve colors into names. It is true that names do need to be decorated with colors, but the colors of names need to be rich and colorful.
It's too monotonous for people to chase fashionable words. This can not help but make people think deeply. Although China has a history of thousands of years and pays attention to words such as loyalty and filial piety, if the standardized words are removed, the frequency of words such as loyalty and filial piety is not high. This shows that the ancients did not like to follow the fashion when naming. Confucianism, the great Confucians who tried their best to instill "loyalty, filial piety and benevolence" into people, which name has the words "loyalty" and "filial piety"? Confucius talked about "benevolence" all his life, but named his son after fish and carp. The fashionable words in pursuit are just childish and superficial expressions in the world. This is an extreme pursuit of fashion.
Second, China people should not have foreign names. The descendants of China are descendants of an ancient civilization, and ours has its own moral, aesthetic and cultural values, so we should not despise ourselves. Especially in naming, it should show important characteristics. People think that it is sometimes fashionable to choose names close to westernization, such as John, Mary, Lisa and Anna. However, in future changes and personal contacts, it may give the other party a psychological impression of contempt and unhappiness. Of course, this is a misunderstanding of different cultures, but this misunderstanding may also affect people's chances of going. It's not worth paying such a price for a name.
8. Avoid over-complimenting.
Whether a name is good or not lies not in how beautiful the words are, but in how good the words are. But some people may make mistakes:
Naming boys is always inseparable from some too fierce words, such as Hao, Qiang, Yan, Meng, Chuang, Gang and so on. Although they read with fortitude and masculinity, they are also easy to be associated with being careless and reckless, willful and informal, and are mistaken for some martial arts. Therefore, because the culture of China thinks that my fortitude and strength are not those who are brave in words and emotions, but those who are brave in drawing their swords when something happens, but some men who are not surprised or angry when something happens, laughing and laughing.
Some people always beat around the bush in naming girls, such as Chunlan, Qiuju, Pearl Krabs, Yanyan and so on, but if they are placed in a certain cultural atmosphere, they will make people feel erratic. Such as flower, ping, Yan, peach, willow and other favorite words in female names. Although the flowers are beautiful for a while, they are unique and eye-catching, but after the storm, they will fall into the mud and be crushed into dust. Willow is also a soft and fragile thing. The willow flower, the residual flower and the defeated willow in the idiom show the emotional evaluation of the symbolic meaning of this thing. Peach blossom is associated with the decline of beauty. Ping He and Liu are symbols of loneliness and parting. Therefore, folklore believes that these seemingly bright words should be avoided when naming.
9. Most surnames avoid simple names.
At present, there is a single name craze in China people's names, and the greater disadvantage of single names is that they have caused a lot of duplicate names. Based on 4,000 Chinese characters, if everyone uses a single name, only 4,000 people can use a single name as their surnames, and the 400th1person will start to have the same name. In this way, the probability of duplicate names will inevitably increase greatly. On the contrary, although there are many people and few surnames in our country, the probability of duplicate names is very low if we adopt duplicate names and avoid using fashionable words and stereotypes. Judging from the aesthetic effect, double names have incomparable advantages. Whether it is the collocation of glyphs, the harmony of pronunciation or the tempering of meaning, at least they have much more choice space than single names.
For a big country with a population of more than one billion, it is impossible to completely avoid duplicate names. Moreover, it doesn't matter much even if many little surnames have the same name. For example, there is rarely a Chu surname in a unit, and it is a miracle to have another person with the same name. That's not the last name. "Everywhere, Li Zhao, Liu", if such a surname takes a single name again, it will cause a lot of duplicate names.
People will notice that almost all people with the same name are the most common names. A unit has two "",if it is the opposite sex, people will be commensurate with "male" and "female"; If they are of the same sex, they are distinguished by "big", "small" or "fat" and "thin". Instead of letting others add words at will, why not add another word and change it to a double name? In the current single name craze, the most popular name should not be popular, so it is better to take a two-word name calmly. As long as we give full play to the advantages of dual names, it is not difficult to choose an elegant and loud name.
Generally speaking, it is relatively easy to take a small surname, and the choice is much larger than the big surname. Some words that have been abused by the big surname, coupled with the small surname, have a very different effect. For example: Feng Wei, Gu Bin, Hua, etc. Of course, this does not mean that surnames can be sloppy. Except for the greater choice, the little surname and the big surname have almost the same problems.
10. Taboos are not as good as other places.
Some names are conventional, some are literal, and some are subordinate to their own ideas and aesthetic consciousness. Some words become ""of names. Some words expressing harmony and impurity are generally not used. However, some people or regions have the custom of giving their children "base names", "ugly names" and "dirty names" in order not to condescend to their children and live a long life. Actually, this is a kind of. Some words that mean disease and ominous generally don't give names or numbers.
The names of human parts are inappropriate. But some of them are also famous, even often. There are the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Warring States Period, and the famous contemporary writer Liu. But these body characters are collocated with other characters, which have new meanings. Words composed of heart and other characters have different meanings from human body.
Some frightening animal names are not suitable for naming. However, some wild animals are often named, such as leopard and Hu Wen.
The names of typical characters in literary and artistic works are mostly ignored by later generations. The names of some typical characters and their specific meanings have become a part of China culture, and they have fixed meanings.
In addition to the above categories, of course, there are many words, words and names that are inconvenient or inappropriate to name. In fact, name taboos are all-encompassing, with profound, creative, cultural, customary, psychological and many other contents.
A person's life is like an article, which can only be continuously improved after many fine transformations.
