Chapter 36 Section 3 Differences and Applications of Numbers and Words

There is a meaningful connection between the word must and the name, which is a constant pattern, otherwise it would not be a table character.As for the characters of the pre-Qin people, the characters of the rank and title, and the characters of the title of the Western Han people, have no direct connection with the name. After all, they are a minority and should be regarded as declension.The number is different, it does not require any meaningful connection with the name, and can be selected arbitrarily without the name.Therefore, numbers and names take meaningless connections as the constant case, while those with meaningful connections change the case.People in the Qing Dynasty took names, some of which were similar to characters, and had a meaningful connection with names.For example, Feng Xiyong's style name is Mingyu, and his name is Shenglu.Yong is a kind of percussion instrument, shaped like a bell.Sheng is a wind instrument played, which is similar to Yonglian and can be used for writing.Another example is Huang Huizi Zizhang, whose name is Taisu. "The Analects of Confucius Bayi": "Print after the event." It can be regarded as a word that summarizes the meaning of the scriptures.Another example is Zhu Feng's name Tongxuan, named Jianxia.This is based on the meaning of Sun Chuo's "Tiantai Mountain Ode", "Chichengxia rises and builds a standard".

The number and the name do not have to be meaningfully related, which is an important difference between it and the word.If there is a meaningful connection with the same name, it is not an exaggeration. For example, when making regulated poems, the first couplet does not require antithesis, only the jaw and neck couplets are in antithesis, but if the poet has the ability, the first couplet is also in antithesis, which is also very good.If you do what you are not required to do, you can do it; if you do not do what you are required to do, you cannot do it.The word and the name are not connected, it is not allowed.It is precisely because of this that we can discover and correct errors in the characters and numbers of various documents and biographies.For example, it is incorrect to say that Cao Xueqin's grandfather, Cao Yin, was named Lianting.Cao Yin's character is Ziqing, which is taken from the dictionary of "Shu Shun Dian" "Su Ye Wei Yin, Zhi Zai Wei Qing".Neem Pavilion and "Yin" have nothing to do with each other.When Cao Yin worked in the Weaving Bureau, there was a neem tree planted in the mansion, and a pavilion was built next to the tree called neem pavilion, so he called himself neem pavilion.He once wrote the poems "Talking at the Night Talking at the Neem Pavilion" and "Living at the Neem Pavilion", which is enough to prove that the Neem Pavilion is a name, not a character.

In the "Dictionary of Chinese Names", such questions are relatively concentrated, and any negligence will definitely be mistaken.Let us analyze it with a few examples. 〔Qing〕Shen·Feng's word is Buluo, and his name is Fanmin By the way, Buluo and Feng have nothing to gain.When the word is Fanmin, the name is Buluo.This is named after the story of Lu An's visit to Ji Kang in "Shi Shuo Xin Yu Jian Ao": Every time Ji Kang and Lu An miss each other, their lives will drive thousands of miles away.Later, when Zhikang was not there, he was happy to leave the house, but he did not enter; he left with the word "Feng" written on the door.If you don't feel happy, you still feel happy, pretending. The word "phoenix" refers to all birds.

This is Lu An mocking Ji Xi as an ordinary bird.Feng, the traditional form is "Feng", and it is disassembled into Fanniao.The literati were curious and humbled, so they took this story as the name and regarded themselves as ordinary people. 〔Qing〕Gui·Fu is named Weigu, and the word is Donghui Press, Weigu and Fu are incompatible, it should be the word Donghui, and the name is Weigu.Hence the name.Luo Binwang's "Shang Qi Zhou Zhang Sima Qi": The jade of Changshan King embellishes the golden sound, and the orchid and osmanthus fragrance of Bo Wanghou. Also "Songs of the Chu·Yuyou":

The Yande of Jianan Prefecture, the winter glory of the osmanthus. The flower, fruit and bark of osmanthus are all fragrant, and they will not wither in severe winters.Hui is the general name of all kinds of herbs, so the name Fu is named Donghui.Weigu should be the number. [Qing] Chen Zun, styled Weiting, named Zhongzun By the way, Wei Ting and Zun are not compatible, so it should be the number.Zun, Zun ancient and modern characters.This is a character based on the name, so it is distinguished by ancient and modern characters. [Qing] Zhu·Weigao, with the word Yutang, and the word Xuanchen

Press, it should be the word Xuanchen, and Yutang is the name.The emperor declares the documents of his ministers as "gao", and the king's summons is called "xuan". The two are connected in righteousness, so they cooperate. There are indeed many examples of using numbers as characters in the "Dictionary of Chinese Names", which are difficult to enumerate.It is a fact that a person has a given name, a character, a number, or another name.However, using the name as a character is not only against the common sense of the name, but also against the historical facts, and history should be returned to its true colors.
