3. Named after the time of birth. Naming a baby after its birth time is also one of the traditional naming customs that China people love. Some are named after the time of birth, and some are named after the birthday. For example, when Deng Tuo was born in the early morning, his father named him Xuchu, and Lao She was born on the first day of the lunar calendar "beginning of spring", so his parents named him Chun Qing.
4. Named after the place of birth. It means that the range of birthplace is large and small, from provinces, cities and counties to family hospitals and villages. For example, Guan Kimura was born in Muye Village, Xinxiang City, Henan Province (commonly known as Kimura), so he was named "Kimura" and later named Zhang and Cai.
5. Say a meaningful word with first name and last name. The ancients often used this method, such as Luo Yiqing and Yun Zhao Xia in the Tang Dynasty and Zhang Siwei and Ma Rulong in the Ming Dynasty. Names and surnames can also form interesting words, idioms, synonyms and antonyms with the help of the internal meaning of words. Such as Shengli, Shichengjin, Cheng Fangyuan, Qu Shen, etc. Some brothers named Gao were named Gaoshan, Gao Chuan and Plateau respectively;

Someone named him in this way, that is, Lai Ruoyu and Wang Reactive Power.
10. Named after random coincidence. When Hua was born, his father just walked into his own small grocery store with a laundry list on his back, and the midwife congratulated him. The father who was over forty held the child in his arms, then gently put it in a laundry list, and added a laundry list on it, saying, "Let's call it Luo Geng when we are 100 years old." Although this method is not universal, it is unique.
