I wonder why many people in Japan have such names."Wonderful”？For example, ghost heads, pig noses, dog breeding, my grandson, etc. SomeWonderfulNames don't quite match their appearance, such as the recent name change of Moona Onitou. So why is the way Japan comes up with its names so unique compared to other countries? We can start withHistorywithCultureangle to ** this question.
In ancient times, there were no surnames in Japan, only first names. It was not until after entering the class society that the rulers began to use the terms "clan" and "surname" to distinguish identity. At the time, it was a kind of onePoliticsOrganization, named according to the clan's position in the imperial court or place of residence. For example, the Izumo clan is the clan that rules the Izumo region. And the surname is ** according to the imperial courtPoliticsThe title given to the clan by status made it impossible for ordinary people to have a surname at birth.
Later, in Japan in the 9th and 10th centuries, the "Aoji" character appeared independently of the family name and surname. The Miao character is actually a branch of the surname, which can be compared to the Zhao family in the Chinese Ying surname. The popular name format at that time was: surname Miao character name. In Japanese, the Ao character is actually the meaning of what we often call a surname. toTokugawa IeyasuFor example, his full name could be called ".TokugawaJiro Saburo Gen courtier Ieyasu "or" Gen courtierTokugawaJiro Saburo Ieyasu". here".TokugawaIt is the character for "Miao", "Jiro Saburo" is an "alias", "Gen" is the clan to which it belongs, "courtier" is the surname (position), and "Ieyasu" is the name (name). This naming convention continued until the 19th century, during which the surname, surname, and Miao characters were gradually integrated.
Prior to this, only some Japanese nobles and samurai had names and surnames. Ordinary people simply do not have this power and do not form this habit. And the Imperial family in Japan is considered to be the descendants of the gods, so they do not have a surname, only a first name.
In the modern Meiji period, in order to conscription, taxation, and household registration, Japan** promulgated the "Civilian Miao Character Permission Order" in 1870, allowing all Japanese to have surnames, including civilians who were previously prohibited from having surnames. However, for ordinary people, who had become accustomed to a life of "name without surname", this decree did not cause much enthusiasm. As a result, in 1875, Meiji** again promulgated the "Civilian Miao Character Compulsory Order", which made it mandatory for all Japanese to use a surname.
Prior to this, before the authorities began to convict them, there were cases of ordinary people casually giving themselves surnames. Because the people usually don't have much to sufferCultureEducation, they take "Inoue" when they see a well, "Yamamoto" when they see a mountain, and even take "Pig Nose" when they think the pig's nose is delicious. This led to everyone taking a surname, and the number of surnames grew dramatically. Therefore, in 1898** a family registration law was enacted, which stipulated that the surname of each household could not be arbitrarily changed. It was only at this time that Japanese surnames began to spread. As a result, most Japanese people only have a surname for about 100 years.
According to statistics, there are currently about 110,000 surnames in Japan, and there are many of them."Wonderful". You can also share what you knowWonderfulJapanese name.
Why are there so manyWonderfulWhat about Japanese names? The answer to this question could be multifaceted.
First of all, fromHistoryThe Japanese surname system is relatively late. In China, surnames have a long historyHistory, dating back to antiquity. In contrast, Japanese surnames were formed relatively late, less than 200 years agoHistory。This late surname system led to relatively few choices when choosing names, and also increased the creativity and arbitrariness of name selection.
Secondly, the Japanese oneGeographyand the natural environment also had a certain influence on the name. In agrarian societies, people often use the following methods:GeographyThe environment or things related to nature are used as the basis for naming. For example, when you see a beautiful mountain, you name your child "Yamada". Due to the JapaneseGeographyThe environment is diverse, and there are many mountains, rivers, and seas with special imagesGeographyelements, so it is not surprising to take these elements as a surname or first name.
