Is it reasonable for Yu Yuexian's car accident to trigger thinking about the ancient Chinese name "men do not bring heaven and women do not carry immortals"?
On August 9, Yu Yuexian, the actor of Xie Dajia in the TV series "Country Love", died in a car accident, which caused shock and grief among netizens. When a few netizens commented on this matter, they mentioned an ancient Chinese proverb: "Men do not bring heaven, women do not bring immortals".
What does this proverb mean?Is there a scientific basis for this?
Names play an important role in the life of a human being, not only as a status symbol, but also as a reflection of culture and history. Since ancient times, naming has been a matter of much concern.
Especially in ancient China, people paid special attention to the importance of names. For example, the saying "men do not carry heaven, women do not carry immortals" means that men cannot use the word "heaven" in their names, and women cannot add the word "immortal" to their names.
In ancient times, due to the limitations of science and technology, people were full of awe for all things in heaven and earth, believing that everyone's rise and fall was determined by God. Heaven can control a year's crops, decide a person's life and death, and influence the fate of a family.
In the hearts of the ancients, heaven was the supreme being, and they were full of reverence for heaven and did not dare to offend or despise it. Therefore, when the ancestors named the boy, they would try to avoid using the word "heaven", so as not to bring a sense of disrespect to the heavens, thus bringing an unfortunate fate to themselves.
In ancient times, the emperor called himself the Son of Heaven and was considered the supreme ruler of the earth, directly representing the will of the heavens. Therefore, if a person's name contains the word "heaven", it will not only offend the heavens, but also the emperor, and may even lead to death.
Therefore, when the ancients named boys, they usually avoided using the word "heaven".
In ancient times, people not only respected the heavens, but also the gods who lived in the heavens. People often burn incense to pray for the blessings of the gods and hope for good luck.
Therefore, when naming girls, the ancients would also try to avoid using the word "immortal", so as not to offend the gods and have a bad impact on the fate of the child.
In the eyes of modern people, a name is only a personal identifier and has no real impact on the prospects and destiny of life. "Men do not bring the sky, women do not bring immortals" is just a superstitious idea in ancient times, and modern people should completely abandon this erroneous concept.
Yu Yuexian's death in a car accident was just an accident and had nothing to do with her name. 100 help plan
