Chapter 25 must also be named

I have a vulgar name myself, and I know it is vulgar and I don't intend to change it, but I am really interested in personal names. Naming people is a light, small-scale creation.The grandfather in the old days put his feet on the foot stove in winter, smoked hookah, and named his new grandson, and he would be whatever he was called.Call him Guangmei, and he has to work hard to brighten the lintel; call him Zuyin, call him Chengzu, and he must always remember his grandfather; call him Hesheng, and he will have a little more color of the pond in June in his life. .Except for the people in novels, very few people are worthy of their names (often counterproductive, the name represents a kind of need, a kind of lack. Nine out of ten poor people are named Jingui, Ah Fu, and Dayou).But in any case, the name is integrated with a person's appearance and character, creating the overall impression.So naming is a kind of creation.

I love naming people, although I haven't had a chance to do it yet.It seems that only parents and school teachers under the age have this right.Apart from them, there are only the old lady who bought the girl and the dancer Taipan.It's a pity that these people are always perfunctory; because there are rules to follow, children should be called Maotou, Ermaotou, Sanmaotou, girls should be called Ruyi, and dancing girls should be called Manna. Catholic priests and Jesuit priests also name baptized babies (presumably this is the most interesting part of their duties), but they can never step out of the circle of George, Mary, and Elizabeth.I have collected two or three hundred names commonly used by British women, and I am afraid that they are all here, even if there are not many omissions.How tiresome it is to have to choose names from the limited folklore and religious history that custom follows, and to meet people with the same name everywhere!There's an old joke: A man scours the Bible for a fancier name.He proudly told the pastor that he decided to use a name that no one had ever used - Satan (the devil)

Thinking back to us Chinese, there are so many five dictionaries for us to search for two suitable words to represent ourselves. With such a rich range of choices, it seems unforgivable that there are still people who are willing to be called Xiuzhen and Zijing. up. Appropriate names do not necessarily mean novelty, elegance, and generosity. The advantage lies in creating a clear artistic conception that matches the identity.When I read newspapers, I like to read classified advertisements and football games, lists of student loans and small capital loans, and I often find many good names ready-made there.For example, "Chai Fengying" and "Mao Yijian", are there any people who are ready to come out?Needless to say, Mao Yijian's bitterness and coldness, Chai Fengying is not only a standard Xiaojiabiyu, but there seems to be a popular story in her name.In the near future I hope I can write a novel with Chai Fengying as the main character.

Some people say that names are nothing more than symbols, meaningless.There are quite a few people who support this theory on paper, but they themselves still use carefully constructed pseudonyms.Of course this is just human nature.Who wouldn't want to stand out?Even in an idealized future world where citizens are numbered like prisoners and have no names other than numbers, every number still has its own unique charm.Three and Seven are handsome, and Two is honest.In Zhang Henshui's "The Qinhuai Family", the naughty girl is called Xiaochun, and Erchun is her Pu Na's older sister.There are also the loyal Ding Erhe and the sincere Tian Er girl.Although the symbolic movement cannot be fully implemented, it is a rationalized reaction, because Chinese names are too complicated.There are milk names all at once.In the past, people's baby names were quite particular, and they didn't use "囡囡" and "宝宝" to prevaricate like they do now.The baby name is the only name for most women, because they don't go to school, so they don't need a grand "scientific name", and after they get married, they lose their own existence at all and become "Zhangmen Li".Everything about women is a bit secret, so women's baby names are not easy to tell people.In the poems of Xianglian, we can see that it is considered very abrupt for a newly married husband and son-in-law to call out his wife's nickname in front of others, and it will definitely arouse her coquettish anger.

The boy's scientific name, Gong Kai, was written on Kaimeng's scroll, and when he became an official, he was called "Guan Yin", which only the emperor, relatives and teachers could call.In addition, he has a more free and easy "character" for friends and relatives of the same generation to use.He has another alias that he doesn't use.As for aliases, that is even more unlimited.When you buy a proud antique, you can change it to another name and embed the name of the antique into it.Moved, and changed another number.Hold a female actress and change another nickname.Originally, if the name represents a state of mind, why can't the name be transferred with the changing mood anytime and anywhere?Mr. An in the house has a "Grandma in the East House" and a "Grandma in the West House".He inscribed a plaque for the East Room called "Banxiang Room", and the West Room is "Companion Fragrance Room".He signed himself "Master of Companion Petal".When Master An saw it, he was very displeased, thinking that there was a suspicion of being a plaything and losing his mind.After reading this passage, most of us feel aggrieved, and feel that the tyranny of the old family is really pervasive. The son takes a harmless nickname, and the father also interferes. What's more, the purpose of this nickname is to appreciate his wife at best, let alone the two. This wife was married to him by his father!However, from another point of view, I still sympathize with Mr. An.Taking more aliases is, after all, bordering on boring.

If we are engaged in fundamental analysis, why should a person have several names?Because a person is multifaceted.The same person is completely different in the eyes of parents and in the eyes of office servants - different status and different distances.Some people like to have mirrors on the walls and ceilings, looking at themselves from different angles all the time, never getting tired of watching them.Taking more names is also the same self-inflated.Self-aggrandizement like this is not harmful to others, so why use it for self-entertainment?Although it is a kind of spiritual waste, we Chinese have always been inclined to waste beauty.

But if we want the outside world to take an interest in our name, that's another matter.Maybe we thought that when a reader saw our latest pseudonym, he would say: "Oh, Gongyang Huan, when he published his first novel, he used the name of Zang Sun Chong Dai Chong Dong, which was published in ××× Magazine At that time, he was called Ming Di, Bai Po, Mu Lian, Ying Yuan was also him, and some people said that Duan Dai was also him. He was called Dongfang Chaozhi in the ×× newspaper, and when he edited women's magazines, he temporarily became feminine. Changed her name to Lin Yanchan, also known as female S*. "Any big person, asking others to keep all these things in mind, is an extravagant hope, let alone a literati?

A man, doing his job, getting his share of attention.In less than ten or eight years, he has done what he wanted to do, or if he can't do it anymore, he will be forgotten.Society's memory is not very strong, and that is a matter of course, and no one has the right to complain. ...There are so many things that everyone should remember but don't remember! When I was in school, there were as many as two people with the same name as me, and no one thought our names were funny or tasteless.The Chinese gentleman called me by name, and he had never read white characters; the foreign gentleman felt extremely difficult every time he read names like "Wu Wanyun", his tongue seemed to be rolled up and tied in a bow tie, but when he said my name, he immediately caught it.This is a very compassionate thing.

Now I'm starting to feel like I should be upset with my name.Why not pick two other beautiful and deep words, even if you can't borrow a little of its beauty and depth, at least you won't give readers a bad initial impression when you submit your manuscript?Someone seems to have said: The first step in the literary world is to choose a beautiful and eye-catching name.Is it true that "if the name is not right, the words will not go well, and if the words don't go well, nothing will happen"? China is a country of words.The emperor changed his yuan when he encountered unfavorable things, hoping that the fortune of the country would gradually improve next year.It was originally the twelfth year of Yuanwu, but it was changed to the first year of Daqing, and the unfortunate days of the past came to an end.An excessive trust in words is our characteristic.

Everything in China sounds so nice and easy to pronounce.Of course, if you don't like something or look good, it doesn't necessarily mean it's useful; but the useful people in the world are often ordinary people.I would like to keep my vulgar name as a warning to myself, try to get rid of the habit of literate people who chew on words, and find the real life in daily necessities, soap, water and the sun. Then again.To be a layman, start with a vulgar name, and it is still "worship of words".Maybe I'm just making excuses.The reason why I am infatuated with my name is because of the little memory when I chose it.When I was ten years old, because of my mother's claim to send me to school, my father repeatedly quarreled and refused. In the end, my mother forced me to be sent like a human being.When filling out the admission card, she hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to fill in her name.My nickname is Ying, and the word Zhang Ying is not very loud.She put her head on her head and thought for a while, then said, "Let's translate the English name randomly." She had always planned to change it for me but didn't change it, but now, I don't want to change it.
