Use traditional and modern nomenclature principles to identify social and conceptual symbols for people or things to distinguish one thing from another.

The importance of naming: Mortals need to choose a name, and the name must be divided into a surname and a given name. The name is not only a symbol of the person, but also a mark that distinguishes and connects people with each other.

Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to their names. Our country's surnames and given names have gone through a long process of evolution before developing into the names commonly used by people today.

In ancient my country, surnames and given names were not used from the beginning. Instead, the surname came first, followed by the given name, characters, nicknames, etc.

The ancients said: "Giving a child a thousand pieces of gold is not as good as teaching a child a skill; teaching a child a skill is not as good as giving a child a good name." This is indeed the case.

Chinese people have always been particular about naming.

It’s not for nothing that Chinese people attach great importance to names.

In the minds of Chinese people, names are of great significance in a person's life and are not just a symbol without practical meaning.

As a symbol, the surname and first name cannot determine a person's destiny, but they always carry the information of the times, are engraved with cultural concepts, leave the imprint of family lineage, and embody the deep affection and ardent expectations of parents for their children.

It implies different ideals, ambitions, interests, hobbies and goal pursuits, and it plays a subtle role in life.

Names are the beginning of family education, the locking of parents’ information codes on their children’s life prospects, and the “solidifying agent” that strengthens personal aspirations or social responsibilities.

A name instilled with life beliefs will regulate, act and influence a person's life.

Discussion on Naming in Ancient Times Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to naming.

The ancient sage Yin Wenzi once said: Form determines the name, name determines the matter, and matter tests the name.

This means that to observe and identify things and characters, one must first name them before they can be accomplished.

Xunzi also once said: "A name has solid goodness, and it is easy to pass by without brushing it off, which is called a good name." This means that a name has a perfect name, a name that is easy to understand and not misunderstood by others, can be said to be a good name.

In order to come up with a good name, young parents always have to dig through the thick vocabulary and source of words, rack their brains, and try to come up with a good name for their baby. As the modern bourgeois enlightenment thinker Yan Fu said: "One name is the best."

Standing, he hesitated for ten months."

Under certain social circumstances, names can even determine a person's future and destiny.

In the seventh year of Tongzhi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, during the national imperial examination, Wang Guojun, a candidate from Jiangsu, ranked among the best. He was honored to participate in the imperial examination. He was originally ranked first. However, Empress Dowager Cixi was very dissatisfied when she saw that his name was a homophony of "the king of the country", and immediately issued an edict.

Take the third class examination for the palace.

Wang Guojun was sent to Anhui to serve as a county magistrate, and was later offered a teaching position. He served as an instructor in Shanyang County for 20 years before being elected as a county magistrate in Yunnan due to his outstanding talents. He died before taking office.

In the 30th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Chunlin from Zhili took part in the scientific examination and ranked among the top three Jinshi. Because his name "Chunlin" means spring rain, and his surname is homophonic with "Liu", he was very favored by the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Thinking that this person's name was auspicious and in line with his own state of mind that his kindness would last forever, he decreed that Liu Chunlin be promoted to the first place in the first class and became the last number one scholar in the Qing Dynasty.

Li He, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, also suffered harm because of his father's name.

When the talented Li He was preparing to take the national examination, someone slandered him, saying that Li He's father's name was Jin Su, and that "Jin" had the same pronunciation as "jin" in Jinshi, which was taboo.

Li Hesui did not dare to take the exam.

What is even more tragic is that Cha Siting, the Minister of Rites during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, ended up with his family and his family destroyed just because he was involved in the name of the emperor.

He served as an examiner in Jiangxi Province and took the sentence "Wei Min Zhi" from the Book of Songs as a question for the scientific examination. He was falsely accused of having ulterior motives, implying that Yongzheng was about to be beheaded. The basis was that the word "Wei" was removed from the word "Yong"

The word "Zhi" is the word "正" without the head.

In the end, not only did he die of illness in prison, but he was also brutally slaughtered.

Although this is closely related to the strict hierarchy in feudal society, it is enough to show the importance of a name to a person.

To choose a good name, you must first have a correct name. Only then can the name be correct.

Su Xun, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, once rectified his brother's name and wrote a model article titled "Brother Zhong's Zi Wenfu Theory".

Su Xun's Zhong brother (second brother) is named Su Huan, whose courtesy name is Gongqun.

After reading the "Book of Changes", Su Xun thought that Brother Zhong's name was inappropriate and suggested that "Wenfu" should be used to replace "Gongqun".

Su Xun discussed the philosophy of life in the article and poured out his life beliefs. It is a powerful and righteous work.

If the name is incorrect, the communication will not be smooth, and sometimes it will be the butt of laughter and make people laugh.

Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch during the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, was originally a rogue. His original name was Li Jinzhong, but he changed his name to serve the eunuch Wei Dynasty.

He had an affair with Xizong's wet nurse, the Hakka family. Because of the Hakka family, he gained the trust of Xizong and gradually took charge of the government.

He gathered a large number of wings and placed close friends everywhere. He excluded and attacked upright and loyal ministers in the court, and oppressed the famous people of Donglin outside the court.

The flatterers actually worshiped him and called him "Nine Thousand Years Old", and governors from various places built shrines for him.

Such a great traitor was both unfaithful and ungrateful, and ended up with an eternal infamy.

Because Wei and Wei have the same pronunciation, how could Wei Zhongxian end well?

Qin Hui, the great treacherous official of the Southern Song Dynasty, was named Huizhi.

Qin Hui was an insidious man, cruel by nature, fond of flattery, and persecuted Zhongliang wantonly. There were countless unjust cases, among which the frame-up of Yue Fei was the most obvious.

What he did was consistent with his name "Hinoki". "Hinoki" is a kind of juniper, which is covered with thorns and pricks people everywhere.

Although it is not absolute that a good name matches a good person, we must strive to be true to our name. As the elegant and elegant Su Dongpo said, "Only names and facts in this world cannot be deceived."
