In addition to the hani, yi at birth for the children also held a unique manners.In sichuan liangshan yi region, the size of the yi people in five days after the baby was born (or for 7 days or 9 days), by the maternal bosom baby out of the door, please wizard slaughter sheep and chickens, to chant buddhist scripture, cast out devils, exorcism, and then the big pendulum banquet, with sheep or chicken fete relatives and friends.During the dinner, the wizard wash hands, and then holding a knife, cut head hair for the baby, and for its birth.In front of the name, wizards have to look at the baby and her mother risked, if the baby life palace, and to propose a toast to livestock meat and up such as "cow son", "green horse

Yao is an important member of the southern minority family in China, its naming ceremony has a presence.People who live in the mountains of YaoJia, naming to all members of the family members in all attach great importance to, no matter boy or girl, born in three days on the population "ceremony.If it is a boy, the ceremony is called "add star" (transliteration), if is a girl called "adding (transliteration)".In full three days after their child is born, his parents or older women such as mother-in-law grandma, plucked orange leaves several kinds of plant leaves, such as wash into the water after boiling, add cold water to cool, clean body, and then give children to ward off evil spirits who pay.Clean body, after the host family to kill a big rooster, please a division (that is, these days equavalent, witch) to chant buddhist scripture, to please the ancestral home, let ZhuXian know, starting from the day, and added a new member in the home, appealed to everyone to give care and bless, and brought it up, make it avoid all kinds of disaster.T people chant after the practice, then to child named.When naming can be named according to birth order, also can be named according to the season of birth.

More interestingly, in the old China feudal literati, many of the people think it's difficult to name appeal, ashamed, some people when the officer, nickname is often abandoned.Is not the politicians, also need not nickname on formal occasions.If violates this, will be the people think that it is very embarrassing things.Qin dynasty peasant uprising leader Chen she, in a daze village uprising after the king, the hometown of poor friends heard he said the king, all want to go to touch something light, is specially went to see him, those living in the bottom of the farmers, thought that Chen she is still with them when Chen she, didn't also didn't think to call on the psychological distance between with him, everyone when many men face son, zhao Chen she shouted his name, still make men laughed, Chen she is too lose face, on the spot when the king and people dare to shout name, make Chen she the bottom of my heart is very not happy, on the orders of those who dare to call the nickname the poor friends out of the head.Such a thing is not unique, we have some people, in real life is not listening to one by the name of a small place, like jie red ears like a scar?Actually, don't need this, although nickname tacky, but simply reinforces relatives and friends love between, on the halls of jedaiah also have not cannot.Adult children, childhood name in family call, another name for dinner party social communication, once in the network know your nickname, don't waste life troubles, just ignore him.One female college students, a stronger, its parent to big

Study visits.Call its birth, there is no malicious, but she should be ashamed to suicide, this kind of vanity is really hurtThe dead.For thousands of years, this is nicknamed the generations continue to use.Do you think it is tacky, boast, whether one of the difficult to appeal.After all, as a kind of customs, it will continue to use.
