Is fortune-telling of place names and names allowed?

Land has a name, just like people. Whether this land is a city or a country, or even a small field cultivated by farmers, it will have its own name, whether it is rich or civilians, or even homeless people, it will also have its own name.

Most people's names are given by their parents, and there are also opinions from their grandfathers, grandfathers or other relatives and friends. A few, ask some learned friends to name their children, and even let Mr. Juzi or a naming company face birthdates, count the fire and water in Jin Mu, see what is missing, and then pick out the names that are said to bring good luck for a lifetime. A long time ago, in my hometown and countryside, there was a very special naming method of "Zhuang surname" The so-called "rushing surname" means that at dawn after the child is born, the child's father goes out to "rush surname" and asks whoever he meets to give his child a name. If he doesn't meet anyone, call him whatever he meets. Thus, there were Dog Touch and Wei Shi.

In fact, a person's name is a symbol, whether it is elegant or foreign, or earth. With this symbol, it is easier to distinguish you, me and him.

The concept of place names is relatively large. In cities, from the name of the city to the streets, communities, communities and residential buildings in the city, most of them have names, and governments at all levels have special institutions-"Geographical Names Office" to manage these names; In the countryside, every piece of land also has a name. People usually don't know who and when these names came into being. Many people don't know why some place names are very tall, but more are rustic, whether in urban or rural areas.

For example, in my hometown, the village name is "Dongpanjing". Why is it called "Dongpanjing"? Nobody knows. Asked the old people in the village and some learned old people, they were not clear, and they could not tell one thing from another. Although there is a corresponding village called Xipanjing, there are no Nanpanjing and Beipanjing. Why is this still a mystery? However, this does not affect the normal production and life of villagers in Pan Jing. However, although it is not clear who invented some place names of the eighth production team (now called villagers' group) in Dongpanjing village where I live, their meanings are still clear and closely related to the production and life of villagers. For example, the "Hometown", "Shao Hongzhang Jujube Garden", "Yongxiang Jujube Garden", "Wangwu Jujube Garden" and "Nijiadi Black Dog" in the north of the village are all named after their original owners before collective ownership. There is a piece of land in the northeast corner of the village, which has long been called "under the poplar" and named after the above-ground objects; There are also "south land", "north land", "northeast land" and "southeast land", which are directly named after the location. With the land with these names, the production team leader arranges a day's farm work, and the members know where to hoe or mow the grass. If the adults say that they will go to the "hometown of native culture and righteousness" to produce peanuts today, or say that they will go to Shao Hongzhang's jujube garden for a date today, the children will help the adults pick peanuts and red dates after school, and will not run to the wrong place with their baskets.

In fact, the name of the land, whether it has a long historical commemorative significance or just a dialect used by people, has the same function as a person's name. Its practical significance lies in that people can determine the location of this "land" through place names, and some place names can also let people know some characteristics of these places.

Due to the large number of "people" and "land" and various reasons, "people" and "land" may have the same name or homonym. Even in the same village, the same school, the same class and the same unit, people will have the same name, especially some names with the characteristics of the times and political color, such as National Day, Founding of the People's Republic of China, Building the Army, Supporting the Army, Celebrating the People's Republic of China, and names symbolizing auspiciousness and celebration, such as Xia, Fang, Hua and Ling, are more likely to have the same name. When I was at school, I had two "Liu Yanling", and so did my work unit. Where is the place name? Of course, it will be repeated, but the repeated place names generally do not appear in the same administrative area, such as "Jingdian Town" where my hometown is located, and there is also a "Jingdian Town" in Shexian County, Hebei Province. Baidu searched, and there are many villages called "Jingdian" in China. Occasionally, due to the negligence of staff or other reasons, the problem of duplicate names will occur in the same administrative area, such as the problem of duplicate names of Zhengzhou roads reported by the media in previous years. These duplicate road names will bring a lot of inconvenience and trouble to the public.

As for names, ancient people and modern people are different. The ancients not only had names, but also words and numbers. Modern people (especially men) generally have two names, one is nickname or birth name, and the other is Daming. Names are generally sorted by family generation and should be placed on genealogy. At present, there are only "names" and "used names" in the household registration management of public security departments, and there are no "characters" and "numbers" at all. I'm simpler. I only have one name. I've always called it old since I was a child. Modern literati will give themselves one or more "pen names" for personal needs and hobbies or other reasons to show their profound culture. People in the online world may have multiple nicknames.

In my hometown, many adults call their children by their first names, but they only call them by ranking, such as "eldest", "second", "third" and "fourth", or "size", "second" and "second". This kind of address seems to be more cordial. Some place names may also use this name for reference and arrange them directly in order. There are three important roads in Puyang city where I live now, called No.1 Road, No.2 Road and No.3 Road. In fact, I checked the relevant information and didn't see the documents officially named No.1 Road, No.2 Road and No.3 Road. In the early related drawings, there are actually 1 roads called 83 and 2. I once laughed at some cities (Zhengzhou, the capital of my province, and Puyang, a prefecture-level city), and some newly-built roads were named without brains, such as Jingyi Road, Jinger Road, Wei Yi Road and Wei Yi Road. Now that I think about it, I may be a little shallow, but I can't say that this naming method may have any special meaning.

People's names, such as the names of proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation such as Mao Zedong, will go down in history forever and guide the direction of China revolution forever; The names of outstanding figures like Confucius and Li Bai, who will remain immortal, will always shine; National heroes such as Yue Fei and Lin Zexu will surely go down in history and will always be examples for future generations to learn. Scums like Qin Gui, Yan Song and Xiao Shenyang will be spurned by the world for a long time; There may be some so-called movie stars, and the names of online celebrities may shine brightly in a short time. But most people, like me, will be passers-by in the long river of history, birds that I flew across the sky without leaving any trace of me.

Time has passed, and some places with different names, such as Fenghao, Chang 'an, Xi 'an, Tokyo, Bianliang, Bianjing and Kaifeng, have already hung as high as shining stars in the historical universe. More place names will only stay in the dust for a long time, either they can't be salvaged, or after being salvaged, many people have forgotten or simply don't know which land this name once belonged to. With the development of economy and society, many people may see some familiar lands lose their names. In the early days of Puyang city, there was a well-known place name "checkpoint", which was gradually forgotten by the citizens with the disappearance of urban construction and the function of "checkpoint". Now many citizens don't know this name. With the promotion of the "shed reform" project and the "relocation of villages and points" project, many geographical names have been forgotten, buried in the grass trees that have fallen into Britain and disappeared into the long river of history.

Of course, we should all understand that it is inevitable that some people or land will lose their names. People who lose their names often mean losing themselves and their fresh lives. Most of land of silence is still there. After a few years and decades, they will all have new names, and the land will never have no name.

I hope that the names of each of our kind people will leave good memories, and all the place names will leave unforgettable beauty.
