When we watch TV dramas, we always hear this sentence".The eldest husband does not change his name, and he does not change his surname

A person's name is his code name, which accompanies him from birth.

There are countless people in history who have tried their best to be famous for eternity.

Sometimes a good name can not only make a good first impression, but also bring good luck.

In the traditional culture of our country, there is a unique way to name itNames are taken by generation

Generally speaking, the character of the same generation is the same, that is, the surname and the middle character are fixed when choosing a name.

But as the times changed, this method of choosing names by generation was gradually abandoned, and was replaced by more open, freewheeling names.

Well, it was once a smash hit"Names are taken by generation", why not be popular now? Is it obsolete?

In our country, naming a newborn baby is a big deal, and the process is very exquisite.

It is common to choose a name with a beautiful meaning, which represents the good wishes of parents and friends.

The emergence of "generational words" is a product of history, which is deeply affectedConfucian cultureimpact.

No matter which one it is, it will inevitably derive the "generation word", so that you can not only know your generation clearly, but also distinguish it.

Ancient societies were deeply influenced by the concept of family, and sometimes although they belonged to the same lineage, the branches were too large, and they were easy to disperse in the process of development.

At this time, "generational words" come in handy, even if they don't live together and don't know each other.

But according to the generational character, you can clearly know which branch and which generation you are.

With the help of generational words, even if everyone doesn't understand each other, when they get together, they won't mess up the generation, and there will be no "rudeness".

Therefore, the emergence of "generational characters" has actually consolidated the culture of filial piety to a certain extent and served the clan well.

In fact, there are ancestral halls in many villages, and new children are added to the village every time.

The family tree will be taken out, and the newborns will be named according to their generations, and the names will be included in the family tree when the children are older.

This approach can not only clearly recognize the level of each other's generations, but also distinguish whether they are members of the same familyIt also helps to strengthen the cohesion of the family.

Not only that, but in the past society, we found that it was rare for people with the same name and surname to appear.

This is also the important role that generational characters play in itIt can effectively avoid the problem of duplicate names.

Therefore, the emergence of generational characters is a product of the times, including the gradual abandonment of the present is also due to the development of the times.

Nowadays, the word "generation" has gradually disappeared in the long river of history, what is the reason for this? Is it because the Chinese people don't pay attention to filial piety?

Going back a few decades, every household in the village still uses the word generation, and only the last word of the name is left for the parents to play.

At that time, people were still referred to by generation, and even it was not strange for a young man to call a newborn child an uncle or uncle.

No matter what your age is, as long as the seniority is determined, you have to follow the rules set by your ancestors.

But I don't know when it began, everyone gradually stopped using the word "generation", and the names began to become strange and varied.

The reason for this is that times have changed, and both the economic structure and family concepts have changed dramatically.

Once upon a time, a surname was a family, and with the development of monogamy, a small family was a family.

After the concept of family changes, the words of generation that serve the family are naturally no longer so important.

In addition to this, the structure of today's economy has changed dramatically.

Young people are no longer confined to one acre and three points of land, but go to big cities with more development opportunities.

After working hard in the big city for several years and knowing the local girls, most of them will stay in the big city to buy a house and liveThe original family's restraint on it is not so obvious.

There are still many young people who think that now is a new era, why bother to choose a name like in the past, plus the generation words are not good, it has long been outdated.

Young people are mostly highly educated, more open-minded, and prefer individuality and diversity.

When choosing a name, I also hope that my child will not be bound by the word generation, and will choose a unique and unique name for the child.

Just like the popular "Glory of Kings" a few years ago, the parents really love to play games, and they do not hesitate to take their children's names the same as games.

There is also a very important reason, which also leads to young people not wanting to use the word "generation" for their name.

In some families, many people are not high.

If you choose a name according to the traditional generational character, it will lead to a change in people's views on age.

An uncle over 60 years old calls a hairy boy uncle or a bigger title, don't be too embarrassed in that scene.

To abandon the word "generation" is to weaken this gap and not disturb the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young.

With the development of the economy, today's young people are gradually breaking away from the family influence of the old society, and the original family concept has also been impacted.

Therefore, when choosing a name, they will choose more words with good meanings, and rarely use fixed generation words.

There is a pair of parents who want their daughters to be safe and sound all their lives.

So I thought about it and gave my daughter one."EasyIt's easy to do.

In addition, there is another parent who is too special to be alone, hoping that the child will always "stand out".

Just name your child."Solitary showI wonder if the child will often be asked by the teacher to answer questions in the future.

Speaking of the 4-word name, the above "Glory of Kings" is just one example.

It is also common to see the father's surname plus the mother's surname, followed by two more words.

So jokingly married one".Luo Cheng stacked

In addition to the first time, there is "".Li SuorangThis name is more natural when you hear it, and it's even a bit of a Bully!

There is a "solo show" on the top, and there is a "lone show" belowSuperstar

Has this parent even planned the child's future life path, is it to become a superstar?

There is also one who originally wanted to make up a "civil and military double", but the name is really unspeakable.

The elder brother's name was "Ao Wen", and the younger brother's original name was ".Ao Wu

It's because of the joy of the whim, calling Ao Wu home in the village, and finally changing the name, the picture sense is not too strong!

Nowadays, the term "generational character" is no longer used in many places, but it is still used in some parts of the south.

Whether you choose a name according to tradition or want to be a little more personal, it's the freedom of the individual and the place.

So, is your name chosen according to the "generational character"? How would you name your child?
