Recently, a couple in Taizhou named the child "Li Bushangshu", which once caused heated discussion. The child's parents said that the name is homophonic to "Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites", which is highly interesting and highly recognizable.
"Shangshu" is a Confucian classic, and it is the same as above. "Shangshu" means ancient books. "Shangshu" was also an ancient official name, which began in Qin and was equivalent to the prime minister's position after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and was abolished in the Ming Dynasty. Before the Shangshu, did he add the word "not to be an official or not to study?
"Li Bushangshu" is a homophonic meme, more like a random web name. " Book of Rites " says, "It is the name of a son and a father." The name reflects the expectations or admonitions of parents for their children throughout their lives. This kind of harmonious naming method is insane. As the saying goes, "If the name is not right, the words will not go well." As a parent, the responsibility is heavy and should not be played by. The naming of
is difficult to say, and simple to say. People today have the following sayings: "Male "Chu Ci" and Female " Book of Songs ". The ancient books are profound and profound, and Tang poetry and Song lyrics can also be used as name tools. You will always find something when you flip it around.
"Shuowen" says "name is self-determination", and the word "fate" can be used as "name". " Guanzi " says "right means that the fate of all things is correct and determined", which means name. It’s a lot to say, but the rules of naming should be based on righteousness.
There are indeed some basic rules for naming in ancient times. As stated in "Zuo Zhuan", Duke Huan of Lu got his son. I asked the doctor Shenlu how to name his son?
Shen Yue gave the answer of "five and five no".
The "five nos" are more controversial
Let’s talk about Shen Yue’s "five haves".
has faith: "Faith by name is faith". Faith is a sign of birth. For example, when Li Bai was born, his mother dreamed of Taibai, and when Yue Fei was born, his mother dreamed of Dapeng.
has meaning: "Be virtuous and destiny is righteous." Righteousness means good fortune and blessing. For example, Zhang Bangchang , Wei Zhongxian, Yuan Shikai ... These names are a bit inappropriate, just use them as counter-proof.
has an image: "Taking life as an image". Elephant is called something that looks like a shape. For example, Confucius "born and headed to the top of the dike", hence the name "Qiu".
has false: "Taking things is false". Fake means borrowing the name of something. "Er Ya" explains the name of Qin Hui, "Cypress, cypress leaves and pine bodies." "正" is pronounced like osmanthus, and only Qin Hui's hui can be pronounced as a memorial. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue named Sun Hui, who should be pronounced as "Sun Gui".
has a class: "taken from the parent as the class". A class means taking the father as a role model and taking names similar to those of the father. In "Rongzhai Essay", Hong Mai said that he had seen the name of Luo Jing in the Sui Dynasty, and even the father and son had the same name. Hong Mai believes that this is the Hu people's custom, but it is actually an ancient custom.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yu proposed the "Five Nos": "The country is not the official, the mountains and rivers, the hidden diseases, the animals are not the animals, and the coins are not the controversy." The "Five Nos" of
are quite controversial. Wang Shizhen of the Qing Dynasty questioned in "Chibei Ou Talk": "For example, scabies, flaws, acne, lice, dogs, thorns, tails (named Zhaoshe). Those who are seen in "History" and "Han" cannot be enumerated... But what do you think of the words?"
said the article "Don't hide diseases." What is my surname and name? It is still controversial. Sima Qian said that my surname is Li. In his book "People Go to Lower Places", scholar Li Ling proposed that Li is a clan, not a surname. Perhaps in the time of Sima Qian, the ancients could no longer distinguish between surnames and clans. Laozi should have his name Er and his courtesy name is Dan. "He may be a person with big ears, a strange face."
I have big ears and Confucius's brain is top-notch. Even if it is not considered a hidden disease, it is still a strange appearance.
In "Zuo Zhuan", there are "Qi Xiaobai, entered Qi", " Jinhou black-butt soldiers in Hu", and "The brother of Weihou, the black-backed commander invaded Zheng". In "Records of the Grand Historian", there is Chunyu and , which refers to the punishment of shaving the hair. There is also , Sun Bin and , and Bin was cut off his kneecap. There is also a tattoo cloth, which refers to the tattooed ink on the face. These are always considered "hidden diseases".
No taboos, one old man
Modern Mr. Xia Chengtao wrote in "Diary of Tianfeng Pavilion's Learning Ci" that he once chatted with friends such as Mr. Wang Jisi, "those who play the roles of people in ancient and modern times regard their body as their names." For example:
Yya (QiHuan Gong favored chef), Lifu (Warring States Han Gong Han Gong ), 未 (hàn)bang (named Zigong, "Records of the Grand Historian" is Zihong), Xifu Gong (minister in the late Western Han Dynasty), Caoding (pacified by the head of the Ming Dynasty, three spirals on the top of his head when he was born, so he was named "Ding"), Fu Mei (a painter in the Qing Dynasty, whose name is Shoumao, also known as Shoumao), Touman (Song Jinggong, or Dou Luan The sound of the word is false), meyi ( Spring and Autumn ministers of the Song Dynasty, Mozi was his descendant), Yongchi (a native of the Western Han Dynasty, who raised an army from Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, but rebelled several times), fox-haired (the doctor of the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Chong'er uncle), Yan Yan (the general of Shu during the Three Kingdoms), Shang Rong ( Shang Dynasty wise minister), Jiang Gong (a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty).... Several gentlemen recognized that the most strange name was Chen Ai Gong's name was nun.
The ancients named it, and they did not avoid hiding sickness and shit and urine. For example, in "The Northern Dream of Saoyan", there is a Hao Niu Shit, and in "The Royal Family of Liao History", there is a donkey dung by the prince of the western Liaoxi county.
Mr. Xia Chengtao also cited the name of a strange man from his contemporary era - Deng Duweng. Deng Duweng was a master of calligraphy in Shanghai at the beginning of the last century. According to scholar Cai Dengshan's article "There is no longer a Deng Du Weng in the world", Deng Du Weng changed his name several times in his life, and there are no taboos. Deng Duweng's original name is Juchu , with his name Dun Tie. Because he likes to use the knife to treat seals, he is collectively known as the "Jiangnan Four Irons" with Wu Changshuo ( Ku Iron ), Wang Bing Tie and Qian Shou Iron. At the age of 30, he changed his name to Man Weng and said, "At that time, he said that I had done something wrong, and he sighed that I had said nothing, and he was wrong and was wrong."
Aboutiques everyone Mr. Zheng YimeiHis article recalled that in the old days, the store asked someone to write a sign, and the name "Deti Weng" was indeed discriminated against: "There are two famous calligraphers in fashion, and the store never asks for advice. One is Deng Duowen, the word "Deti Weng" is too disliked. One is too Qian Taixi, the only hope for the store is to make money, and this surname is in conflict with making money." There is a "zoo" in the name of
His name
And it is said that "not to be a livestock."
Liang Zhangju in "Langzhi Congtan" said, "It is especially true that the ancients are not afraid of it." He also gave an example: Sima Xiangru was originally named Dog Son, and Nanqi had a minor official, also known as Dog Son; Southern Qi general Zhang Jing'er , historical records: "The first time his mother dreamed that the dog son had horns to lick it, and then she had a pregnancy, so she was originally named Dog Son. Later, she gave birth to another son, and was named Pig Son because of the name of Dog Son." In
" Liao History ", "Jin History", " Yuan History ", the names of dogs and pigs are common. In "Yuan History", there is also an ugly donkey, who is the Taiwei.
The names of people in ancient and modern times are numerous and numerous, with the names of divine beasts such as dragons and phoenixes. The name of turtle was common in ancient times and is rare today. Lu You in his later years called himself "Guitangsou". In the Qing Dynasty, Yu Zhengxie verified that his name "has three meanings": one is precious, the second is leisure, and the third is longevity. Tang Dynasty musician Li Guinian turtle, which means longevity. As for the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Guimeng , a native of Suzhou, Guimeng is the collective name of Shandong Guishan and Mengshan . Lu Guimeng is a word called Lu Wang, which shows that his ancestral home is in Shandong.
Confucius has a son called Kong Li, and his name is Boyu. According to " Confucius' Family Words ", because Confucius had a son at the age of nineteen, Duke Zhao of Lu gave Confucius a carp. Confucius also had an eighth-generation grandson named Kong Feng, whose courtesy name was Ziyu. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a famous scholar Zhou Feng, who also had a name called Ziyu.
named Fish Tortoise, which is a wealthy name. But the name of insects and rats is difficult to explain. According to the Song Dynasty's "Yuhu Qinghua", there were three brothers in the Yang family named "天" (风), "天" (风风), and "风风" (风风风风). Song Taizong said: "The ancients did not use the sun, moon, mountains and rivers to hide their diseases. I still might not be able to call them. Now I name their sons in small and small categories, but I don't know what they mean." With a stroke of the imperial pen, I erased the word "worm" and gave them the name Tan.
As for the doctor of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, Gongsun yi (chài), whose name is Ziwei, yi yi wei is the scorpion tail, and this name is poisonous enough.
names are actually ministers
Shen Yu advocated the name "not being named by an official name", because Jin Xi Gong was named Situ, Jin State abolished Situ; Song Wu Gong was called Sikong , and Song State was abolished Sikong.
There are those called "king" in the names of ancient people, such as the famous Luo Binwang , as well as Hu Binwang of the Five Dynasties, Xie Binwang in the late Ming Dynasty, Song Binwang in the Qing Dynasty, etc. "Binwang" is taken from " Zhouyi " "View the light of the country and use the guest to the king". Although the name is a king, it actually means being a good minister.
Zhuo Wenjun's father is called Zhuo Wangsun . The princes and grandsons refer to the fallen nobles during the Qin and Han dynasties. Qin destroyed Zhao, and Zhuo was moved to Shu and became rich by smelting iron. Zhuo Wangsun was just a blacksmith, but he was very rich.
The only one who really dares to be the king is probably the only one who dares to be the king. The heroine Zhen Huan in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is taken from Cao Pi's favorite concubine Zhen Mi, and Huan's name comes from Cao Pi's queen Guo Huan. Guo Huan is known in history as Empress Wende and Guo, but her name is not recorded. "Wei Zhi" records that "the young man and his father was young and said, "This is the king of my daughters. So he used the queen as the character", and the queen is her character.
Diao Chan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has no name and name. Xin Qiji has a word "The golden seal is like a big fight next year, but Diao Chan comes out of his pocket." Diao Chan is also an official name. It was originally a combination of Diao Tai and Suican. In the Han Dynasty, it was the crown ornament of Shizhong and Changshi, so Diao Chan often refers to the official positions of Shizhong and Changshi.
The most common names of ancient people with official spirit were the word "qing", such as Yan Zhenqing and Guan Hanqing . Sima Xiangru's courtesy name was Changqing, and he took , Lin Xiangru as his idol, so he named Xiangru. Lin was Shangqing of Zhao State, so he named the name Changqing.
Zhou Li has "Six Qings", which is a very ancient official name. Later, the meaning gradually became generalized. Like Bin Wang, he was a beautiful name as a "subject". Su Shi's poem "Bearing the Son" says, "I hope that the child will be foolish and rude, and will be at the ministers without any disasters or difficulties." Even if the son is foolish and rude, he will be able to become a minister smoothly. This is simply a "small goal of 100 million."
Never offend the Minister of Rites
The six ministers of the Song Dynasty all had elegant names, and the four seasons of the world were added with the word "qing".
The Minister of Personnel is called Tianqing, the Minister of Revenue is Diqing, the Minister of Rites is Chunqing, the Minister of Justice is Qiuqing, the Minister of War is Xiaqing, and the Minister of Works is Dongqing. If you want to name the "Shangshi of the Ministry of Rites" by making a joke, isn't "Chunqing" bad?
Coincidentally, the Minister of Rites really has the responsibility to name the royal family. There was a hidden rule in the Song Dynasty: the Ministry of Rites would not give a good name if it did not accept any benefits. For example, in the Song Dynasty, "Yunlu Manchao" records: "All the Zongji people who are exempted from relatives (outside the five wards) are given names. They have a saying of being disguised, and they take strange words to make jokes."
It was still difficult to change the habits during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. "Juyi Lu" records: "The vassals of the Ming Dynasty gave birth to sons, and the name was made by the Ministry of Rites. The master asked for bribes, and he would make bad words to him if he was not satisfied." During the Daoguang period of Jiaqing, a general of the royal family liked snuff bottles and gave birth to three sons. He asked officials of the Ministry of Rites to name them. The eldest son was Yibi, the second son was Yiyan, and the third son was Yihu. "The name is so premature."
, if the homonym of the same is included, Huang Shang's name will be unwilling.
There is a master named Huang Shang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The book tells his deeds through the mouth of Zhou Botong: "During the Zhenghe period, Emperor Huizong searched all the Taoist books of all over the world, with carved and printed books, with a total of 5,481 volumes, called "Wanshou Daozang". The person who was appointed to engrave books was named Huang Shang." Huang Shang, who was well-known for writing the "Nine Yin True Sutra", won the top scholar during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, and was also the Minister of Rites.
