Those funny nicknames

In our country, when children are born, most of them will take a nickname. Especially in rural areas, there are many children, but because their parents have not received much education, they naturally take the nickname of earth, but it sounds particularly cordial and has a strong earthy flavor.

When a boy is born, parents usually add the word "Gui" after the name if they don't deliberately let people take nicknames. For example, if his name is Fu Sheng, most of his family will call him "your wife" and "your wife". The word "Gui" originally means cow, and we call it Niu Gui. With this word, parents not only want their children to be as painless as cows, but also as brave and strong as bulls when they grow up. For girls, the word "sister" is usually added after the name. For example, if they are named Lilac, their families will call her "Sister Lilac", and if they are named Xiaolan, they will call them "Sister Xiaolan", which reminds people that "Sister Lin fell from the sky". That sister Lin is a clever and not shy master, and her parents naturally hope that she will be loved by everyone! These two nicknames are very popular and anyone can use them. Some of them will take a formal name when they are older, and some will call them for life, but this will definitely be his (her) grandparents or parents, and they will love his (her) relatives for life!

Some children are born in pain and difficult to take care of. His parents will go to fortune tellers and give them names. According to the children's birth dates, fortune tellers will see what Jin Mu lacks in fire, water and soil in the five elements. For example, people who are short of water in life will be named "Shuichang" and those who are short of gold in life will be named "Jinsheng". However, Jin Mu's fire and water were found in their birth names, and most of them were the works of fortune tellers. Of course, some people will pay attention. It is too corny to add the words "Jin Mu, fire, water and earth" directly to their birth names, so they will add a radical "Jin Mu, fire, water and earth" to their names. For example, my nephew is short of wood to tell fortune. It would be ugly if he were called Musheng. The fortune teller brought a gentle scholar named Wen Bin, who is very bookish and instantly tall, making up for the lack of the five elements, and killing two birds with one stone!

There are other sick children, and their parents will also ask the gods and bodhisattvas to bless them and ask them to give them a name. A boy went to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, and his master named him "Guanyin Bao". With the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva, those evil spirits naturally avoided Miyake. There is also a premature baby girl in my village. As usual, it is difficult to raise her in rural conditions. Parents are eager to love their daughters and beg for protection before the Buddha. The host named her "Folian". I hope this girl is like the lotus before the Buddha, fresh and refined, elegant and Zen. I think this is an excellent name and definitely the best choice among all nicknames. It is amazing to say that those children who made a wish in front of the bodhisattva and were nicknamed by the bodhisattva really lost a lot of diseases and grew up. I really don't know if it's the infinite magical power of Bodhisattva or coincidence!

There are also some parents who have been planning their diets for generations and have had a very hard time. I hope my children won't repeat their fate, so I nicknamed my son "Guan Bao" or "Fu Lin" and my daughter "Guifeng" or "Fenglai". Although the nickname is glorious and luxurious, if you don't study hard, it won't change your child's life at all! "The dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the son of the mouse makes holes." I want to change the fate of my children by taking a rich nickname. It's just a flower in the water, a moon in the mirror!

There are also some uneducated cultivators who neither seek fortune-telling nor bodhisattva's blessing. Give birth to a son, named "Shi Gui". As soon as you hear this nickname, you know that his father is a reckless character. If the first child gives birth to a daughter, it is called "Zhao Di", another daughter is called "Chong Zhao", and another daughter is called "Zhao Huan" until the son is born. In a family with three or four daughters in the countryside, there must be a girl named "Zhao Di", which is not only a girl's name, but also a wish of his parents, or a stubborn and conservative inheritance.

There are some older people, such as my grandmother's generation. Their parents are illiterate and prefer sons to daughters, and they have been promised to be child brides since childhood. They don't even have names. My great-aunt lives in northern Shaanxi, Qin E, and she is married to my great-uncle. Everyone calls her Qin E Shanbei, but no one knows her last name. We followed their names, calling her Qin Eshan's back mother-in-law, and she accepted it gladly. For them, food, clothing and a good home are more important than anything else, but it doesn't matter what they call them!

Now that parents are more educated and have fewer children, they attach great importance to naming their children. But when I opened their roster, I found that most boys were called Ziya, Xuanya and Boya, and everyone was a modest gentleman. The girls' names are Xin, Han and Wei, and everyone is my fair lady. Although the name is refined, the connotation is not much different. It's like a handicraft. If it is handmade, it will be different, even vulgar, but the shape and taste are different. Now the names are like mechanized production, fast and efficient, exquisite and beautiful, but they are similar and have no spiritual personality!

When our children are not around, they will take out their mobile phones for paging or watch positioning at the first time, and they can always find them accurately. In fact, we miss it more. In the twilight, my mother stood at the door and shouted, "Shi Mang, go home for dinner!" " "
