How to choose a name:
First, names should be avoided.
The Book of Rites, one of the Five Classics, has a special discussion on how to name a son in Quli Shang. The original text is as follows: the name of a son is not based on the country, the sun, the moon, hidden diseases or mountains and rivers. ? It means that the name should not be named after mountains and rivers, administrative place names, official positions or diseases.
These reflect the ancient people's worship and awe of nature, so these names should be avoided. In fact, taboo customs are more widely used in reality. For example, since ancient times, people have avoided addressing emperors and dynasties regardless of their names or other writing methods. And since ancient times, there has been a custom of avoiding parents' surnames. When it was extended, there was already a custom of avoiding the names of family elders or neighbors, and it is still the case in many places now.
Therefore, if you want to choose an elegant name, the first thing is to make clear the words that should be avoided.
Second, the basic requirements are beauty in sound, beauty in form and beauty in meaning.
We can grasp it through these aspects.
1. Mouth, with a nice name. The requirement is that the name you want to call out is normal and high-pitched, and you feel that the pronunciation is smooth and not awkward.
2. Listen, the name should be nice. Asking for a boy's name sounds very tall and decisive. The girl's name sounds crisp, soft and implicit.
3. Eyes and names should be written well. This is based on the morphological structure of words, which requires the choice of words with easily balanced and stable structures.
4. Sense, the name should have artistic conception and emotion. This requires that the name should have a certain cultural accumulation, which is why many people like to choose from the classic poems such as the Book of Songs, Chu Ci, Tang Poetry and Song Ci.
Third, the balance and complementarity of the traditional five elements of Upanishads.
Let's watch a movie clip first. In the movie "Dinner Madness", there is a segment in which Tan Dashan, a Jianghu expert played by Fan Wei, named Jia Ming, a little star played by Bo Huang. According to Jia Ming's birthday, Tan Sitong said that it lacked five elements, so he changed his name to "Golden Jujube Wood". This name was complete, and Jia Ming was really angry after changing his name.
