Is there any basis for the taboo of "men don't take heaven, women don't take immortals"?

In fact, this proverb is a subtle way for the ancients to name their children, saying that a boy's name can't have the word Tian Zi and a girl's name can't have the word fairy. You know, the ancients were much more particular about naming, especially nobles or intellectuals, than modern people. Last name, last name, first name, and words can't be less, and none of them can be confused. The name is what parents expect of their children.

The study of ancient naming

Naming is really a science and an art. The ancients named the word generation, which was used to represent the family generation according to the typesetting in the genealogy, and was generally used for middle names, so that when two people with the same surname met, they could distinguish the young and the old according to the word generation. This is a ritual system that has lasted for thousands of years, and there are more radical ones, such as the Zhu Yuanzhang family, who have come up with all kinds of uncommon words and periodic tables. In a word, substituting characters is a kind of etiquette. Until today, some families will still be named according to their generations, but there are very few.

If everything is in accordance with the etiquette system, it is really a very complicated thing. Take naming as an example. Ancient people in China had surnames, surnames, names and characters, and in some cases, numbers. Compared with modern times, there are great changes, such as surnames. Modern times only refer to surnames, but surnames and surnames in ancient times are separated, which is a sign of the continuation of Chinese descendants' families and a sign of distinguishing blood relations. In the pre-Qin period, surnames.

The names and characters are different. Generally speaking, three months after the birth of a child, the name is male's crown word and female's crown word, but usually girls have no words, because they want to get married after marriage, and the husband's surname is crown word. According to social etiquette, people can only be called by their parents by their first names. Even today, it is very impolite to call each other by their first names. In ancient times, people could not call them by their first names, but only by their words. Unless you have a grudge against killing your father and taking your wife, you should obey the etiquette.

There is also a nickname, which is more casual. The ancients thought that the meaner a species is, the easier it is to feed, so dogs and cows often have nicknames, Sima Xiangru, nicknamed dogs. This is a name full of joy. If Mr. Stephen Chow lived in ancient times, according to the thinking logic of ancient posthumous title, his child would probably be called Zhou Cockroach, whose name is Zhou, and the word is immortal, and his name is Mr. Tenacious. (Just joking, no disrespect)

Speaking of this, it is difficult for young people to sort it out now, so people's names are simplified now, but they also conform to the trend of the times, especially now there are more and more international exchanges. For example, according to the ancient naming method, foreigners accidentally "insult China". Mr. Lin Yutang said in Su Dongpo's Biography that the names of China people are too complicated for everyone to understand. I only call different people by one name.

Men don't take the sky, women don't take the fairy.

Since naming is so emphasized, it is better to get back to the topic.

Men don't take heaven, that is to say, boys' names can't be bigger than the sky, not only can't contain the word "heaven", but you can't call them Emperor Zhao, Li Rulai and Huang Laojun, and girls can't call them Queen Li, Wang Chang 'e, Zheng Xiannv and Zhou Guifei. What you have to argue is that the name is not only a moral, but also something missing in life can be made up in the name. My family is short of an emperor.

What is implicit, moral, taboo, not to mention, China people do things, but also say "irresistible", you have no power in your chest, the king gives you a prime minister, and officials refuse to accept it. For example, Guo Kai, the prime minister of Zhao in Dafuqin, is unworthy of virtue. You will feel that there is something wrong with the monarch of Zhao, one dares to give and the other dares to take.

The same is true for parents to name their children. If you name your son Emperor Zhang, you really dare to scream. The problem is that there is no emperor named Zhang in history, so it's not embarrassing.

People think that a name must have a good meaning and a good symbol, but it must conform to your fortune-telling ability. Husband said that children are short of fire in this life, so you should take it easy and call it a fire, which is crisp and neat, in line with destiny. Doesn't he smell good? You must think that this child can achieve great things in the future. When he was three years old, a bolt of lightning hit his head and he died on the spot. There are five words floating in the sky: you don't deserve it.

You don't need
