What's the name

What is the name?Name is the differences and relationship between people in social life to each other and call sign.Said wen jie zi ":" name, as also.From the mouth from the evening, evening ghost also, ghost not meet, so with his lips from name."It means that, in the early days of social activities, people meet each other during the day, may through the body, face and voice recognition to each other.Once in the evening, can't see each other, can only through the self-reported name to distinguish between you and me.Visible, the produce of names is the need of social communication, it is the most essential role, and is in all occasions of social intercourse can be the difference between individuals.To communication, it has to have a communication of address, not as rude to call a word "hello".So, ask to be asked to have a title, was asked to answer, will need to have a own label.This appellation symbol is the "name".

In ancient China, name, word used separately.Today called the "name", it refers to the name or name.Name is a call, a representative.

However, the name of the earliest human as well as fixed later.As people in "with the name", some of the characteristics can use them as his own name, to make others easy to identify;In some people identify a person, can have some of the characteristics of the man as his name or code.This kind of practice, and we later used to call one particularly tall man "tall", take a walk around the waist swinging miss is called "the wind swing willow" is the same truth, can say to describe fairly accurate.Along with the environment and the change of time, the characteristics of the people may change, the original is in some people have "big man" in another group of people is of medium height and even "small short";Original walk such as "the wind swing willow" who might make another group of people feel too hard to plate, there is not enough soft.To the new environment in a new group of people, "big man", "the wind swing willow" cannot represent the characteristics of two people, and the characteristics of those who never pay attention might be found again, such as the "big man" might be a spoke in a high person, so his name or symbol may be these people are called "watering can," "saliva planetesimals";"The wind swing willow" large and may also be because eyes, known as "large" or "lightning".In this way, they will be in the new environment with the new name.In this case, have a fixed name becomes necessary to restore.

People often say, "its don't man."Visible, the use of the name is not only a symbol behind the surname plus, to distinguish each other's problems, which also contain the male and female, and young and in class society and the various differences between people, is a human social life in a reflection of the personal name.

Name in the code of our country, as a person, is produced along with the development of society and gradually and popularity.Initially, generally is the man who is no name, only the status of high leaders and heroes to qualify for the name.But in the name of this is not the name of the modern sense, but merely a title.

After the text appear, originally by oral names also evolved to writing stage.At present, have found that some of the primitive society of pottery above all describe one or two symbols, according to expert textual research, these symbols are associated with the names of the early.If this interpretation are to be believed, then, different names is the earliest words in our country.By chow period, a spate of Chinese text and tend to finalize the design, a large part of which is also the person's name.We find in the as in the oracle bones of the shang dynasty, not only have the Chinese character "name", but also the nonyl, ding, such as c, small b names.These are the first found in written name.

In short, name is in the presence of a human society in the period of the original and a cultural phenomenon, its origin and development of experienced a process from imperfect to perfect.It is the earliest people used to distinguish the title of each other, and later evolved into the symbol of the fixed identity, in the text appear later recorded in written form.Since the day on which it produces, has shows strong vitality, along with the continuous development of the famous word itself and perfect, the name is becoming more and more become a normal part of human society.

It is said that in ancient times,babyBorn in three months by his father to name, this is the origin of the ancients "name".Actually in parts of our country folk, still retains the full moon baby when naming conventions, but is the naming rights is no longer a person by his father bear, but by the baby loved ones take together.It is interesting to note that in ancient times, the boy smaller to the age of 20 will have a "DE facto crowns", as a adult, would then take a word.The girl at the age of 15 to hold the gift of DE facto 筓 ", to show you can marry, then also want to take the word.It is clear that in ancient times men and women can have a word.Modern female revolutionary qiu jin, for example, she has a word, is called grace.

Emerged at the "word", since then, the noble sons began to have a "word".Song dynasty people HongMai RongZhai essay recorded: "at the beginning of the life of the ancient words, a just, yue 'child', then the ' 'to' zhong ', 'for' uncle 'to' season, its old and honour person is" just ", no two words are linked together take righteousness."Someone will say, not ah, Paul of father and son do clearly is two words.This is because Paul of father and son do look from writing although there are two words, but from its meaning, Paul and dry is really part of the "word", while the father and the son's just additional parts.As for the "ZhongShanFu", the "father" uncle hing made up of three words, such as word, before and after the two words are additional word, before a specification list, after a gender and adult, the word is "word" in the middle of the entity.

Since the late eastern han dynasty, the word of two entities, such as liu xuande, guan yu long word cloud, northern and southern dynasties period, with the two entities word for word has become the mainstream of life "word".

As for the spring and autumn period than "geng", qi chu "pattern of stone, such as" is four word "word", there is little agreement.

So, what is the relationship between the name of the ancients and word?It was thought that the ancients have a sense of the relationship between name and word, the name is given priority to, auxiliary words.

Of a name is the same as the word meaning, similar or same.For example, qu yuan, a flat, ZiYuan, "erya interpretation to" : "original quang yue."Like yue fei, word peng."Peng" is the meaning of dapeng wings.

The second case is the name and word meaning of complement each other, each other, make to express the meaning more clear and thorough.Kong Zisheng down the centre, for example, high and low, shaped like a QiuShan, so the name "hill", the word "you";Guan yu word "cloud", take the meaning of open wings soar into the clouds;Devastation caused to r are very easy, so bai juyi word "lotte" and so on.

The third is name and word meaning instead.The name of the method may be related to the Confucian "golden mean".Refund of han yu's word, "the" more than meaning, according to the Confucian philosophy and philosophy of life, too much of a good thing, more than, you must come back.Such as once again points, word, shuo wen jie zi ":" point, the little black also."The "xi, one color white."

The fourth case is a causal and word.Xin qiji word young Ann, disease, the meaning of is to eradicate the disease, there is no disease, ankang natural life.

The fifth kind of circumstance is because.Cao cao ji, is from the "xun zi · gakumon" : "husband is called virtues."Good word is sincere, a reference to "rites" in "cheng Ming yi".

The sixth kind of circumstance is doing down the name.Wen Mu wu ching-tzu word, word, worship, catalpa wood Chinese character component.

We said today the name is not ancient name and word es, now people are generally not words, just think the ancients called the name "name".

The ancients for the use of the name and the word is very exquisite, name, word used in different occasions, respectively.Generally, call his name when using, said modesty, for older than their high, or, equals should address each other words, to respect for each other, their elders for the younger generation, teachers for disciple residency, a high registration can be a first-name basis.If a man of para senior high, low, young people call words, is a kind of special encounter.

Because the name is relatively low, so in ancient times, people for the leaders to "taboo", the so-called "taboo", is for the use of words in their name cannot be used at the time, encountered the same words, in other words, or is a taboo word save a will not write, therefore, there is a lot of strange words.

Thus it can be seen that name is to distinguish between each other, and the word is to the honour.Word is independent of the outside, but there is not completely separate.From the point of view of meaning, words tend to supplement and explain the name, is a meaning, so word is also known as table.
