I sent my name to the temple when I was a child. What's the situation now?

In order to ensure children's health, longevity and happiness, parents and family members give their children base names in the practice of naming. In addition, they also try their best to find ways and means in the field of etiquette, and even expand their thinking to the field of religious beliefs, so that monks and Taoists can name their children. Let monks and Taoists name their children, which is called "giving names" by the people. It means that after the child is born at the full moon, parents send the baby to the temple Taoist temple, ask monks and Taoists to take a dharma name or Taoist name, and then entrust the child to Buddhism and Taoist temple on the basis of etiquette and symbol, thus concluding a religious and secular kinship. People name their children as deities because both Buddhism and Taoism are sacred places. Entrusting children to them is naturally blessed by bodhisattvas and gods, and evil spirits and disasters are not easy to invade. In our country, the custom of naming was once very common. The classical novels Jin Ping Mei and A Dream of Red Mansions have written the custom of naming. The 22nd chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions wrote: "One day later, Baoyu's foster mother Ma Daopo came to the mansion ..." In addition, the names of Qiaojie and Baoyu were written in chapters 29 and 64. Jin Ping Mei Ximen Qing gave his son's name to Wu Daoguan in the Jade Emperor Temple. In modern life, we can also cite examples of naming names. When Mr. Lu Xun was a child, he sent his name to the temple and got the dharma name "Chang Geng". There are also 100 pieces of clothes, and there is something called "cow rope", on which are hung some small things, such as almanac, mirror and silver screen, which are said to ward off evil spirits. Hu Pu 'an's "Records of Chinese National Customs" also recorded the naming customs in the north and south. For example, it is recorded that there is a custom of children giving names to deities and buddhas in Wuxian County in the south. This wind is everywhere. Gaijia's children are spoiled, most of them are weak and sick, and sometimes they pretend to be sick. His family even burned incense in the temple and put a bag made of red cloth inside. The common name is to send a bag and hang it on the Buddha cabinet. Naturally, at the end of the lunar calendar every year, monks will prepare meals and send them to their children's homes, which is the so-called New Year's Eve. Their homes will give the monks lucky money. It will take three years to send it. When posting, monks give children names, such as the Buddha named Jin, that is, Jinsheng and Jinshou. There is a certain ceremony for naming, which is nothing more than burning incense and praying for blessings. When giving names, monks should give children some things, such as clothes for monks and farmers, Taoist priests and so on. The most prominent are name symbols and name locks (cables). Wu Daoguan in Jin Ping Mei not only gave Ximen Qing's son a lot of things, but also gave him a pair of silver collars, which read "Happy from now on, live a long life, be rich and prosperous", and a bamboo book, Huang Ling Fu, which read "Taiyi Siming, Yan Tao and Kang". Silver collars and yellow line symbols are name locks and name symbols. After the children make their names, some will dress up as monks and Taoists to show that they are monks. However, it doesn't mean that you will never return to the secular world after you have made a name for yourself to go to Buddhism and Taoism, and you will maintain this relationship forever. Because the original intention of drunkards is not to drink, and they have no intention of letting their children escape from an empty net and become monks. They just want to avoid temporary disasters through the protection of gods, buddhas and immortals. This relationship ended when they thought that the child had passed the mental and physical disaster and could resist foreign aggression independently. The ceremony of terminating the relationship is called "secularization" and "bag pulling", that is, taking back the bag given to the temple when naming and returning to secular life. In Shunyi County, Beijing, this etiquette used to be called "jumping off the bench", that is, when the children grow up, choose an auspicious day and prepare gifts to pay tribute to the temple. The temple owner found fault with the children, and the children took the opportunity to jump off the bench and go home to keep their hair. In Tianjin, the etiquette behavior is 12 years old jumping over the wall, which is quite complicated: "Before jumping over the wall, you must choose an auspicious day, buy a dustpan, a broom and prepare eight old coppers. At the right time, parents will lead their children, burn incense and worship God, and at the same time let them take dustpans and hairbrushes, wipe incense tables and sweep the floor. When things are done, the barber will leave hair for the child, and then the child will stand on the bench with four old money in his right hand and four old money in his left hand. The onlookers shouted' Old Monk', and the children threw the money back, jumped off the stool and ran straight home without looking back. This is the so-called jumping over the wall. "
