The basic properties of names
We the Chinese nation has always attaches great importance to the individual to family, clan, social responsibility, also have reposing in naming names, make the person's name show many western society or some characteristic or attribute.These characteristics or properties induces, generally includes the following five aspects of content.The characteristics or attributes of names, the first is the special reference of names.Name is the sign of the interpersonal difference between each other, a name can represent a person, otherwise it loses its specifically to meaning, its actual effect is greatly diminished.As mentioned the name "hua mu LAN", refers to the ancient is known to all for a father joined the army, the heroines of killing for their country.Mention the "lei feng", you will imagine that he is a helpful good youth, everybody to learn good, and not think of other people."Hua mu LAN", "lei feng" has obvious points.Once encountered conflicts with this specifically to meaning, you must try to adjust to the related people, to adapt to this kind of attribute names.As in previous years held before the National People's Congress, for the qualification accreditation of representative during the same name was found, which have two "yu-lan zhang" representative list of zhejiang, henan representative with the two "Zhao Fulin".This kind of situation is contrary to the person's name in the name of the same points, but also conducive to distinguish between the parties.Therefore, the relevant personnel to avoid possible misunderstanding, just before the four representative name separately with their respective names, become "huzhou yu-lan zhang", "Ryan yu-lan zhang" and "anyang Zhao Fulin", "jiaozuo Zhao Fulin".
This approach, is actually the contrary to the name of the special reference names do adjustment.Of course, this is the name of points sometimes losing points to function because of the change of The Times and the environment, but also sometimes lose a specifically to work from time to time into another kind of points.Is also a lot of such examples.Such as the Ming and qing dynasties, the name "mei xiang" refers to a large house maid, later, because the maid called "mei xiang" people much more special, so "mei xiang" has become synonymous with the maid.With this from a "mei xiang" and to transformation of numerous synonymous with the maid, "mei xiang" a is completed by a specifically to make the transition to another kind of points, before and after its transformation are still did not leave a specifically to attribute names.Similarly, known as historical figures such as zhuge liang, guan yu, dou name originally refers to the specific characters, but because of too much household names, their names are sometimes like "mei xiang" name has become synonymous with a certain kind of people.Among them such as "zhuge liang" refers to The Three Kingdoms period, the wily politician, but because too familiar, thus regarded as the incarnation of wisdom, saying "are better than one" two heads are,, "zhuge liang will" became a synonym for a certain kind of people.And as "guan yu" is also known as "the duke guan" and "th", but referred to are the three countries of the star, because legend has it he "surface such as jujube", people call love red face "blush duke guan";And because he was tall, future generations will bring terrible compared with him, "the water margin" said beards and Zhu Quan "kuan shape";And because he is good at using machetes, people often use "the duke guan front dance broadsword" a word to irony to show off in front of an expert skills, or as her modest words less competent person;And because he had for performers, approached, the posterity commonly used "the duke guan did difficulties" metaphor to overcome difficulties, through the difficulties;And because he had lost jingzhou because of pride to underestimation, later generations "kuan carelessness jingzhou" is commonly used irony pride and neglect losing;Again as he flopped after lost in jingzhou, later generations used "the duke guan get the blues" mean people unavoidably is, although the meaning of these names be extended a lot, but each has a special meaning, does not conflict with the characteristics of the special reference of names.Again as "dou" is liu chan young, people later relates to his life experiences, and to give the weak and ineffective, since unwilling drown, ACTS with a false reputation, capitulating, heavy wine debauchery, such as meaning, then appeared the "dou" can't afford to help, "heart" and other commonly used words.When at this time, "dou" also has the special reference.Names in our country, in a word, two characters, simple, is easy to remember, and easy to spread, is completely different from western society as a long list of words.This kind of words in simple, also called the conciseness of names, is another characteristic of our country's name.Of course, both in China and the west, from the point of view of the characteristic of names and complex reasons, in addition to the history, folk custom, social, only from the perspective of linguistics and language communication habits.Because in a civilized society, take life and spread of the names should be on the carrier of language, the name is the carrier of Chinese and Chinese characters.Due to Chinese and Chinese characters are simple syllables this characteristic, makes the person's name is given priority to with words or double word name.
