The ancients said: "It is better to teach your child a skill than to give him a child; it is better to give him a good reputation than to teach his child a skill than to give him a good reputation." Chinese people have always attached great importance to naming, and all Chinese wise men also attach great importance to the status of "fame". The wise man Xunzi once said: "There is a good name, and the path is easy but not brushed off, which is called a good name." The sage Confucius also said: "If the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth." The famous scholar Su Shi once said frankly: "The only name in the world cannot be deceived." From this, you can see one or two of the important things of "name".
Not only did the ancients do this, but today, most parents are also thinking about good names that suit their children. From the moment the crane gave birth to the child, the baby who was still in the mother's belly had become everyone's focus. It is true that babies are the crystallization of parents' love. Giving a good name to the baby can not only express the expectations of parents, but also accompany the child's life, and even help him succeed and achieve great success. However, an unsatisfactory name may be a stumbling block on his life journey. If you don’t believe it, we can take a look at the following example:
Qing generation Tongzhi 7 years, Jiangsu native Wang Guojun scored among the top in the national imperial examination, and then participated in the palace examination. Originally, with his talent, he should be the top scorer in Jinke. However, when Empress Dowager Cixi heard his name, she felt that this was homophonic with the three words "destroyed king", and was very dissatisfied and immediately issued an order to be downgraded to third-class. In this way, because of his name, Wang Guojun not only lost his due crown, but was also sent to Anhui to be the magistrate, and was also negotiated and changed to a teaching position. He served as an instructor in , Shanyang County, for twenty years. Because of his outstanding talents, he was elected as a county magistrate of Yunnan Province. Unfortunately, he died for some reason before he took office.
Qing In the 30th year of Guangxu, Zhili native Liu Chunlin took the imperial examination and ranked last in the third grade of Jinshi. However, because its name "Chunlin" means spring rain, and its surname happens to be homophonic with "Liu", it is very popular among Empress Dowager Cixi. She believed that this person's name was very auspicious and in line with her "honest grace" mood, so she issued an order to promote Liu Chunlin to the first class. In this way, Liu Chunlin, who had originally had no chance of being the top scorer, unexpectedly won the prize because of the good meaning of his name.
Under almost the same conditions, the fate of Wang Guojun and Liu Chunlin is very different just because of the name. The importance of this name can be seen.
Good name can bring confidence, happiness and hope to the baby. Therefore, dear parents, you must be careful and cautious in naming your children, and compare and recite them repeatedly. Don’t let bad homophones mislead your child’s future. Good meanings or homophones can not only make your child’s future brighter, but also become famous all over the world!
