2, the ancient words in ancient times, "name" and "word" in most cases constitute a person's code, although use is not the same, or have a contact between them.The ancients mostly because of the word, names and words almost see content is irrelevant.Such as the three wing DE xiang zhang fei word, in the name, "flies" is a name, "wing" is the interpretation of the "fly", because "fly" is the virtue of "wing" (made in the wings beat qualities).And as the tang dynasty poet bai juyi, word lotte, also has a link between name and word, namely "ju yi" is the cause, "lotte" is fruit, only to live peace, lotte to mandate.The ancients are diverse, in the name of the word have different USES.At first, the word is very simple, people often only a word, and "son", "bird", "zhong", "just said" age phase of the words are linked together.Deep, such as Confucius' disciple YanHui word RanGeng word "cattle, secondary bow RanYong word, the name of the" deep "and" cow ", "bow" is their words.Of course, some people up the words simply with just one word, without another word, such as Chen she words, xiang yu word is.After the eastern han dynasty, name a word to more and more exquisite, is also more and more complex.People in the name, tend to look up the word is very important.According to the ancients is paid attention to when some people in the word, the word "and", "demand", "bright", etc.;Others on the expectations of the parties, the word "WenWen" (don't die longevity), "forever", etc.These contain deep meaning.

# 3, the ancients of the ancients in addition to the famous, word, and several number instead of name.Is a fixed number of alias, also known as known.As early as Zhou Chaoshi, people began the number.To this, "rites" explained that number is "the name more how" laudatory name.Mean, number is outside of the name, word, honour or reputation.Especially in the early days, people with no more are those sages escort.Such as Lao zi as the widely into the son, fan stupid nicknamed the goose son burned skin, etc., are so.Just generally, however, the pre-qin name and number of the people is not too much.When and southern and northern dynasties, the number of people are still not many, Mr Recorded only TaoQian alias of the willows, ge hong nicknamed the tastes, etc. Several people.But, in the sui and tang dynasties, along with the country's powerful and highly developed culture, in the name, word, besides other lakes are also gradually more up.Such as li bai violet rove, du fu, ShaoLing YeLao, bai juyi xiangshan rove, and so on, are all this kind of situation.In the song dynasty, the number of wind and further development.Known as the "water margin" 108 will all have a date, it is on behalf of the society at that time.Since the Ming and qing dynasties are more, as a modern, up to the emperor, down to general plebeian inhabitants, almost everyone has.Even as the qing dynasty LingYangZao recorded in the book stupid teaspoons of weaving, the Ming dynasty "suo yan city village ridge, ghost people, not reading is never without a number, with little crazy strange, principals LanQuanShi, sit the committed;And brother 'mountain' brother, will "water", "" loose, zhong will" bamboo ", not particularly big funny also.Just the woman also has, to see the person 'curling always clumsy, is stung Shen also."Also written in the book an example of a let a person smile, said a county magistrate in the trial of a robberies, jie asked why the prisoner intentionally chicanery, prisoners answer is "keep fools can't", but who don't understand the meaning about asking to just know is the prisoner in the title.Like this become an outlaw as thieves have number, the number of more predictably abuses.Number in the ancients, words and names, words, mostly from the length limit.From known known throughout the ages, there are 2 size, there are three words, four font size, and even a number of more than 10, more than 20 words.Qing dynasty painter of banqiao, there are 12 words, namely "kangxi show just a yongzheng juren qianlong jinshi.When there is a monk, called interpretation of the results, no words more than 28, namely "the monk small foshan long lines series bedding and famous romantic matters and not cranes food day wake township hou".

A man known as unexpectedly spent nearly 30 words, really it was such a spectacle.Because the ancients have larger arbitrariness, and don't be afraid, therefore, to a certain extent prompted the Ming and qing dynasties literati, number of the prevailing of the wind.Since most people at that time, some people are also more than one.Such as qing dynasty painter over the dharma name hong, nicknamed the qing xiang road flyover, balsam pear monk, polyester, blind honour person, more than four.SOP for the painter in qing dynasty banqiao, name, word, soft slab bridge is his number.He also claims to chong, Zheng Dalang, slab, slab bridge road flyover, (the old man and the nature of most of these claims to also have no.In addition, if we are to deep study of the number of the elders, and its property is very complex, can be found, not only have the RenShu these properties of different identity, different industry also has a special number.Of the temple, such as the emperors have spilled, monks have method number, Taoist youdao, acting has a stage name, cultural have a pen name, these also has a number of properties.The stage name origin early, is acting for some reason and special name, used to express their own intentions, expertise, or mark something significant things to himself.As early as the han dynasty, when a woman is good at dancing. Zhao, the body as light as yan, people send stage name "zhao swallow".

Because she has great influence on the stage name, so that instead of her real name is unknown.Again as in the five dynasties and ten states, after China lane ZongLi deposit excitation not only like acting, also played for himself a stage name "li in the world".It is said that once he with a stage name called new mirror grinding stage performances, won't forget the call on the stage two stage name "li in the world".According to gu yanwu the day know record "records, the ancient times have" yellow PAM herein ", "YunChaoXia", "new mirror grinding", "cloth light", etc, are all is handed down stage name.The most well-known novel a dream of red mansions, jia baoyu close-fitting maid attacks husband Jiang Yu bacteria were singing opera, stage name is "qi officer".In addition, the use of the book and a few girls, officer names were age, civilian officer, officer, jade officer, fang, rui officer, lotus root officer, officer of kwai officer, ai, tomato officer, officer, in fact, these are not their original name, but a stage name.As to the source of the stage name, some are themselves, some of them are hiring, some of them are from shicheng ranking, some are from the audience, the situation is different.
