Taboo is a kind of special social climate in our country, after all is not directly address this practice about people's names') originated in the zhou dynasty, until today can still see the signs.Should taboo content according to the division of traditional, generally including taboo, for an emperor to sage taboo, for the rulers taboo, taboo for the parents, for bad taboo and so on several ways.We today, although he did not like the ancients, pay attention to etiquette, but they do not use the relatives and friends in name, SanQinLiuGu, great celebrities, such as name of the same word, is also a kind of at least courtesy.And in order to a more polite name, it is necessary for us to know about the taboo culture of our country.According to research, taboo custom began from the zhou dynasty of our country.Restore the name is the name of the monarch or his successor to avoid, but the system is not strict, the average person named monarch name homophonic word, don't need to avoid the name of the two words don't have to up, writing and no special provisions.But by the end of the qing dynasty, the method of taboo become strict, the name of the person such as qin shi huang and his father are taboo.After the qin dynasty, the ethos and improved, by the han wei jin southern and northern dynasties sui and tang dynasties the dynasties continuously strengthened. In the song dynasty formed a taboo.After the song dynasty, jinyuan toward looser, becoming severe again until the Ming and qing dynasties.Until the period of the republic of China, regulations on taboo was annulled by explicitly.Taboo in the past, the most important one is the taboo of emperor, which is so-called the taboo.As early as the qin dynasty, qin shi huang of governance, in the first month is the month instead.

His father name chu, place names "chu" had been changed to "jing".XiangJi place of overlord xiang yu original name, name of person to taboo, had to close the surname and "citizen" pronunciation "mat".Emperor named Liu Che, named toru people had to surname han someone was named liu xun, surname had to surname sun xun.The same situation, also known as the "emperor han liu xin, surnamed yan surname xi;Han Ming emperor named liuzhuang, name is the surname yan zhuang people.Even han because its father named sharpwiner, surname in deqing people had to be changed.Tang Gaozu, and as in the tang dynasty, tang gaozu's grandfather tiger, all meet with "tiger" the word is changed to "force" or "horse".Emperor taizong's own name on account, every encounter '.People, 'word such as "people".What's the name of the song MAO Zhao Kuang withdraw, his younger brother, specimen Zhao Kuangyi taboo to give him, so we have to change name Zhao Guangyi, even after the song MAO do yourself so had to the emperor.Sometimes when the taboo, not only to the dynasty emperor taboo, even taboo for seven generations since the emperor's ancestors.In the history of the south, xiao experienced three phases includeing literator biography, it records a let a person because of taboo in stitches.It is said that he was born poor, don't know what name father more than his ancestors.But after his claim to the emperor, according to the traditional build temple for seven generations of ancestors.When the officer asked the name of his ancestors, he said: "I just remember father named Hou Biao.

Moreover, his soul as far away as it is mined here, wondered how to enjoy to jiangnan here?"Officials see he did not understand the rules, so we have to ask the army of his ancestors name, but only to get his grandfather called b feather weeks (xianbei), then more than made up for his grandfather iv "emperor ZuKao" speak (cs17), for in the temple, and openly declared the world as the ancestors of these fake taboo.As for his own name, if more in taboo (FanHui, light punishment, or decollation.Results originally called "scene" or the surname "worship" of people had to name the surname.One of the most luck is the name of "worship", according to the record is at the time was changed to "if", so that to also change don't come back today.In the present henan dengfeng, shenyang, liaoning province, still have a lot of people which name is "if".Like the taboo for the emperor and his ancestors, is one the most severe in the past taboo, also known as the "taboo" countries.If I do not know taboo, will pay a heavy price.Especially when the Ming and qing dynasties, was with her for not careful FanHui way to people.Because turned down, so that caused a lot of trouble for the people, and therefore and renamed the surname emerges a lot, even dead the ancients were not immune.In the pre-qin period, for example, had two outstanding thinkers xun zi and zhuang zi, but to the han dynasty, because the followers in han (liu) and han Ming emperor (liuzhuang) to the pronunciation of the names and they have the same surname, they had to call a grandson or YanZi from now on.What is more, such as the "worship" is mentioned above, is originally a surname of inherent in our country, but since xiao experienced three phases includeing literator in southern dynasties were repeatedly to change is to because of taboo, even is considered to be one of the most unfortunate name.Xiao experienced three phases includeing literator surname respect people because last name and his name in Chinese, the objects had to be changed.Regime after xiao experienced three phases includeing literator, although they able to restore original name, but in the five dynasties and ten states, and because last name made rising high-impedance Shi Jing pond speak (cs17), had to put the surname apart, in two, become "to admit that '.", "two last names.After rising perish, ji, they restore worship surname, but before long ji song, they met again song MAO Zhao Kuang withdraw grandfather Zhao Jing name, again afraid, and he took their article.In addition, such as xuan name again, in the eastern jin worthies FanHui when huan xuan proclaimed himself, then successively touching song god zhao item, the qing emperor kangxi hiowan yei and others speak (cs17), each time FanHui also had to change to other name.

Because this was to change to, today we have very little to see the name again.Except for the emperor and his ancestors taboo in the past as well as for sages and an elder taboo custom, commonly known as', for the sage "or" taboo "WeiGuanZhe, taboo is not call or direct writing such as three sovereigns, duke of zhou, Confucius sage's name, and avoid the name in front of the officer.If just open a book of ancient books of the republic of China before, you can see the names of the Confucius "high" or "high" writing in the "hill", on the right side of the lack of a vertical situation, its reason is also afraid for him.As for as the rulers taboo, there are many famous examples, including "only states set fire and forbid people light-on" category.Said it is a state of Ming dynasty official called tian, taboo others say his name, ordered all meet ", "to avoid, even with the" board "pronunciation of the same word or to say, the results made many jokes.After he arrived firstThe Lantern FestivalAccording to the traditional point Lantern Festival, people two days.Due to "light" and "deng" homophones, the people, dare not say, government office of person can't write, so we have to use "fire" instead of "light" word.As a result, the government in the notice, all become "fire" the word "light", "the state according to the example set three days', such as sentences, which can traditionally lamps for three days.An announcement, people comment in succession, all say "only states set fire and forbid people light-on", or even about.In addition, according to legend in the northern song dynasty, a man named Xu Shen changzhou magistrate, for his own name taboo is deep, don't offend others.When reporting the work once a county magistrate in the taboo, offended him and said: "I this matter has already declared three times, so far no results."Xu Shen hear him say "shen", in the mind very happy, thought is in offend her, then shout at her.Magistrate is not weakness, and said: "this thing if not be dealt with, I have a complaint to the road (higher than the state administrative agencies), appeal to the fact, shen shen, until to die."Then he proceeded to, although Xu Shen anger or he can't., of course, like this before, I do not know the taboo is minority after all, officer of taboo has been spread in our country.Taboo in the past for the sage or elders, both of the above for the chief executive of the taboo, also has the teacher himself even taboo.As the field's case, is himself a taboo taboo (since), is also the development of superiors and subordinates.And like a legend in the five dynasties, a man named feng tao at the prime minister, once at homeThe testProtege of the daodejing.

The daodejing beginning is two words: "way can way, very way", touch each other he speak (cs17).Protege did not dare to read, but at that time and couldn't come up with good ideas, forcing the scalp read aloud a way: "dare not say, but dare not say, dare not say very much."Upon hearing this, feng road, also in distress situation.Taboo in the past, of course, also have the lower offend officer, but it is a dry, or deliberately so, conditions are relatively rare.Relatives such as parents or ancestors taboo, say again ", taboo for QinZhe, known as home, taboo is generally within the family, but also deal with people have avoided out of politeness, otherwise will be the opportunity or comedy to upset people, is considered rude, han dynasty sima qian for father's name, write "shiji" when they try to avoid everywhere, so that until today we look at the book, there is a call of Zhang Meng interest actually Zhang Meng talk, is he in order to avoid the home up and changed its name to the person.In one van breakdown Lin were ", the eastern han dynasty a celebrity Zheng Tai name written GongYe zheng, the reason is his father's name is Fan Tai, taboo is oneself in the home, and he had to for Zheng Tai words don't say names.Great poets in the tang dynasty li ho father JinSu, because they think the word "jin" with jinshi in the imperial examination "into" homonym, the results for the rest of your life not to participate in the imperial examinations.Like _ the taboo, commonly known as'.Since the "taboo, the impact on the society also is not very big, but if we don't know the taboo, being despised or all lost also unavoidable.According to historical records, in the southern dynasties in China attaches great importance to taboo, encountered the honourable or the names of relatives were avoided.It is said that there is a big Xie Chao noble name n month, is the son of the sun, tse fung of xie lingyun, once served emperor. By articles had great praise, said "super ZongShu have chicken, MAO ling yun comeback" the emperor was the supreme Lord, offend others home so they can't, was another blow to the sales people born Liu Daolong beside, competent or taboo, namely with sorrow after the "quasi scabies Xie Chao home, said to him," hear the emperor said that you have just treasure, I do not know can take out to see."Xie Chao don't know what is he, have repeatedly said politely, which have had a treasure at home.Liu Daolong said: "the emperor is not to say that phoenix feathers do you have at home?How is not treasure, ' 'Xie Chao a hear him say the name of the father, know his misunderstanding happened, also no longer ignore him, hurried away from home.Just Liu Daolong to don't wake up at this moment, really think Xie Chao cases for chicken hair for him.Struggling for the along while disappear a person to come out, so we have to walked away, all the way straight blame Xie Chao stingy, have treasure also don't let a person have a look.What's more, the officialdom in the sky, in a year and prepare gift to the magistrate's home of electing, because in the name card, taboo has no intention of breaking the magistrate's home results even forbid into the door, the degree of how strictly taboo to.
