Every child is born, and the first priority is to take a name, which contains the love and expectations of his family. The ancients said: "It is better to teach a son to have an art; it is better to teach a son to have an art than to give a son a good name." "It can be seen how important a name is to a person. However, there are several surnames in the Chinese hundred family names, which were quite good in ancient times, but in modern times, they have become particularly embarrassing, and how to take names is not good.
"Gou" surname. This surname originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, according to statistics, there are about 430,000 Gou surnames in the country, which is the 225th most common surname in China, and about 72% are distributed in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei provinces. In fact, this surname is the surname of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor and The Shun Emperor, which is not small. At that time, the surname was not so ambiguous, and with the development of the times and culture, it had a somewhat embarrassing meaning now.
"Diao" surname. The Diao clan originated from the Diao kingdom, a princely state during the Zhou Dynasty, whose descendants took the carving as their surname, and was called "Diao" in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. As of 2016, the total population of the Diao family ranks 245th among chinese surnames, with a population of about 370,000. In fact, at present, there are still many people with the surname Diao, of which Guizhou and Hunan account for 64% of the national population with the surname Diao.
At the beginning, the surname "carving" or "Diao", there is no ambiguity, originally Diao also refers to weapons, until later there was a "cunning", "picky" meaning, now said that a person is very "Diao", often insulting each other, I hope that everyone in the face of the surname Diao people, pay attention to a little, do not cause contradictions.
The next one is the surname "Hao". Hao surname is from the sub-surname, its ancestor is the Shang Dynasty Tianzi Emperor Yi, in 2017 "Hundred Family Names" ranked 71st, the population is relatively large, accounting for about 0.34% of the national Han population, of which Henan, Shanxi, Hebei 3 provinces are more, adding up to about 59% of the population of Hao surname.
In fact, the surname "Hao" has been much better than the above two surnames, such as "Hao Stick", although he is a little shy to pronounce it, but at least there is no insulting meaning. In 2012, there was a sketch on the Spring Festival Gala, called "Today's Happiness", "Hao Jian" played by Chinese actor Shen Teng was impressive, and he was loved by the audience.
The last one is the surname. Regarding the surname of Cao, many people say that it was a descendant of Cao Cao who changed his name, but this statement was denied. Consulting the Twenty-Four Histories, the earliest recorded historical figure of the Cao clan in the history books is Cao Shi Beg, the leader of the peasant revolt at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
Today, the cao surname has a population of about 120,000 in the country, and among the permanent residents of Hefei, the number of residents with the surname Cao has exceeded 500, which is relatively large compared to some other rare surnames. In modern times, the word is often used to scold people, presumably these 120,000 people take names, it is also a headache, how can you politely and not be embarrassed to say your name?
In fact, the name is a science, is an art, coupled with thousands of years of Chinese culture is profound, hundreds of surnames have their own characteristics. Some people's names contain quality and character; some people's names contain blessings and auspiciousness. There are also many literati who give themselves names, paying special attention to a lot, and Mr. Lu Xun has given himself at least 140 pen names!
The above surnames are just the tip of the iceberg, but the difficulty is really quite large, can you use them to give a nice name? Or do you have people with this surname around you?
