What does the name mean?

Open classification: allusions, vocabulary, Chinese, dictionaries and Chinese dictionaries.

A person's title. It is a combination of names and words. In ancient China, names and characters were used separately. Now collectively referred to as "name", refers to the name or first name. See "Crown Gift" and "Gift".

A name is a kind of address and a symbol of a person.

It is said that in ancient times, babies were named by their fathers three months after birth, which is the origin of the ancient "names". In fact, in some areas of our country, the custom of naming babies during the full moon is still preserved, but the right to name babies is no longer borne by the father alone, but by the relatives of the babies. Interestingly, in ancient times, when a boy reached the age of 20, he had to hold a ceremony of "tying the crown" to show his manhood. At this time, he had to choose words. When a girl 15 years old, a ceremony of "tying her hair and adding weight" will be held to show that she can get married. At this time, she also has to choose words. It can be seen that both men and women in ancient times had figures, such as Qiu Jin, a modern female revolutionary.

So what's the connection between ancient people's names and words? It is generally believed that there is a meaningful connection between the names and characters of the ancients. In one case, names and words have the same or similar meanings. For example, Qu Yuan, Ping Ming and Yuan Zhen. ("Erya Dish": "Guangping Yuan Yue." Another example is Yue Fei, whose name is Ju Peng. "Ju Peng" means that Dapeng flies high. Another situation is that names and words have opposite meanings. For example, Ceng Dian, the word Xi. (Say: "Point, Xiaohei also." And "Hey, I'm white." Of course, with the development of history, the semantics of many words have changed, and it is difficult to see the semantic connection between ancient names and words. But as long as there is a will, there are still many names and words of sages to taste.

The name is the code name of the unknown project. Only by using the name can you accurately point out a thing, otherwise, you can't distinguish it. With a name, we can live more temperamentally.

The detailed origin custom of China's name;

According to the Book of Rites, in ancient times, babies were officially named by their fathers three months after birth. This is probably because of the poor medical and health conditions in the past. After the child was born for three months, he was sure to survive, and the elders officially named the child. "Name" was used by my parents when I was a child. Usually called "nickname", or "milk name" or "milk name" In the pre-Qin era, people "named" or did not avoid elegance and vulgarity. For example, Jin Chenggong is called black buttock, Lv Chenggong is called black arm, and Qi Huangong is called Xiaobai. ...

"Name" and "character" usually come from "name", and they are closely related in meaning. "White Tiger Tong Ming" says: "He who writes by his name knows his character by his smell and his name by his smell. Generally speaking, we can be roughly divided into the following seven categories:

First, synonymous with each other. Names and words have the same meaning and can explain each other. Such as: Zhuge Liang, the word Kongming; "Bright" is synonymous with "bright"

Second, antonyms are relative. Names and words have opposite meanings, and they are opposite. This is to hope that people will not go too far, go too far, and take checks and balances. Such as Lien Chan, the word Yongping

Third, let the code work. Some names and words cite historical records and use allusions. Such as: Lu Yu, the word hung-chien ("Yi ﹋ Gradually Gua": "Hung-chien is on land, and his feathers can be used as feather devices").

Fourth, admire the former sages. Such as: Niu Sengru, the word Shi An (Ji An, the word, praised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as the prime minister)

5. Worship religion. Such as: Wang Wei, the word "Mo Mo" (Vimalakīrti, the name of Buddha and Bodhisattva)

Sixth, the original name changed. Make some simple changes to the name and it will become a word. Such as: Li Bai, the word is too white

Seven, record the facts and make up your mind. Some people's names and words can't be translated into meaning at all. Such as: Zhang Lei, the word Qian Wen; If it weren't for Lu You's "Notes on the Old Learning Temple", Volume 4 records: "When I was born, I took the text in my hand and said thunder, so I thought it was a name and the word was hidden. No one can guess the connection from the meaning of the name.

Names and words can not only represent appellations, but also kinship. The most common forms are: brothers and sisters use the word * * * in their names to indicate the reciprocal relationship; If it is a single name, use the same radical, such as Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers. In addition, the name can also show the ranking of young and old. In the pre-Qin period, the names were preceded by Meng (Bo, Chang), Zhong, Shu and Ji. For example: Meng Jiangnv; Kong Qiu, the word Zhong Ni; Boyi and Shu Qi are two masters of Kunzhong. In the Tang dynasty, it was expressed by numbers, which was called the first (big ranking). For example, "Du Er" in Gao Shi's Send a Day refers to Du Fu, "Yuan Jiu" in Bai Juyi's Nine Letters to the Imperial Garden refers to Yuan Zhen, and Han Yu's "Sacrifice to Twelve Lang Wen" all indicate the order of the young and the old by name.

introduce ...

1979, Delillo moved to Greece and began to write his seventh novel, The Name (1982). The background of the work has expanded from the United States to the international stage, but the objects of expression are still closely related to the United States, such as Americans' attitude towards foreigners and foreigners' views on Americans. The work is divided into four parts: islands, mountains, deserts and grasslands, which correspond to Kuros Island in Greece, Palo Peninsula, India and Kansas in the United States. The hero, James Exton, is a risk analyst of the Greek Northeast Group. Northeast Group provides political risk consultation to overseas American companies and sells risk insurance. After James's wife Catherine separated from her husband, she took her nine-year-old son, Tapp, from Canada to the Greek island of Kuros, and conducted archaeological excavations under the leadership of American archaeologist Owen Brademas. James agreed to work in Greece, partly in order to see Catherine and her son often. When he visited them on an island, he heard that an unknown cult there had killed an old man alive. Owen soon discovered that the victims were often elderly and frail vagrants, and their initials were consistent with the names of the places where they were killed. For example, the first victim's name is Michele Kaliamboss, and the place of death is Micro Camini. Both names begin with the letters M and K. Why does the initials of the victim's name have to be the same as the initials of the place name? Curiosity drove Owen to investigate the cult, and soon James and independent filmmaker Frank Wardra joined the investigation. Finally, Owen found a branch of the letter-killing cult somewhere in India, and had a long talk with the leader of the branch, and finally witnessed the killing process of the cult.

The story of murder by letter is the main plot of The Name, and there are two other clues: one is the love life between James and his wife, and his efforts to make up with his wife; One is the life story of James living in Greece as an American businessman, including the connection between his risk consulting company and the CIA, and the resistance of Greek nationalists to American interference in Greek affairs. These three lines are intertwined and parallel, so Name is not only a cult story, a murder story, a detective story, an emotional story, but also a political story. Delillo expressed his criticism of American commercial culture and political hegemony in the post-colonial and post-imperialist era by showing and exposing the way in which the United States used commercial influence, infiltration and interference in other countries' affairs. These works show that no matter which country Americans come to, they try to control the people there through their business culture. They not only set up one military base after another in other countries, but also often threaten those countries that are dissatisfied with them by stopping economic aid and investment. They can even ignore the dignity of other countries and provide large bank loans to their hostile country Turkey in the territory of other countries, such as Greece. And those countries that are colonized by business often have to submit to humiliation for short-term economic benefits. In the words of the Greek nationalist Andries Eria, it means "take American money and do as Americans say". Therefore, in his view, the future of Greece does not belong to the Greek people, but is "in the hands of Americans." Once the political and economic lifelines of other countries are controlled, Americans can throw their weight around and do whatever they want in this country. From a political point of view, the name shows an "expansionist theme" ... the theme of colonialism, the theme of exploitation and the theme of maximizing utilization.
