How did the Song people get their names? Is there any basis for their naming?

You can often see in TV dramas that the names given in the Song Dynasty are very literary. For example, Li Qingzhao and Liu Yong. And I'm sure the cute people who have seen it can still remember the names of some winners' daughters.

Their names are Hua Lan, Moran, Ru Lan and Ming Lan. It seems that they all have very similar names, but they all have a blue word. In ancient China, people always attached great importance to their names. In ancient times, people did not change their names or surnames. In different times, names have a very obvious background. In the Song Dynasty, many people named names and had many rules. For example, the four daughters of the Sheng family mentioned above all have the same words in their names. It seems that the Song people have rules to follow.

Maybe it's a family rule. In different generations, you must carry that word in your name. Only in this way can we reflect the tradition of our country since ancient times, that is, the young and the old are orderly and have the distinction of honor and inferiority. In ancient communication, when such a name remains unchanged, it is quite convenient to give your name, so that the other party will know which family you belong to and which generation you are descended from.

While the name is pleasant to listen to, it gives the name a feeling of home, so that all children can always remember that they come from this home, let the name follow their life, and will not do anything that forgets their roots.

In ancient times, when naming a name, we should not only pursue a good name, but also be catchy and meaningful to read. At the same time, we should bring the characteristics of our family into the name so that future generations will always remember that they belong to this family. But in my opinion, this is just a pastime for the rich in ancient times. Children from poor families are not so particular about their names, but they can be called out by a random name.
