Introduction: Parents name their children, should be the first priority in the child's life, and there are many metaphysical things in it. As the old saying goes: don't be afraid of entering the wrong line, the most afraid of bad names. For a person, the name is almost related to the fate of the individual's life, so giving the child a name is not a random thing.
Moreover, in the process of naming, there are also many taboos in the use of words, and we often hear the naming sayings handed down from the countryside or the previous generation, saying: The child is named "male without heaven, female without immortal". What does that mean? Does these so-called named economies make sense?
What we can be sure of is that to a large extent, this taboo of naming words is the remnant of the superstitious thoughts of the ancients, who paid great attention to such ideological concepts as "obeying the Mandate of Heaven, the Heaven and the Earth," and so on. The name represents a person's title in this world, to match their life status or fate, if a person's name is too domineering, then it is likely that the person "can't hold back" the name.
Therefore, a name that is too prominent will easily bring unnecessary misfortune to this person, but a simple name can give children a blessing for smooth growth. For the poor people who used to have a poor economic foundation, naming their children is basically the pursuit of a central idea of "the more rustic the better", so that the children can thrive.
And the words "heaven" and "immortal" are too noble and clear, which is not in line with the fate of the poor people, and it is easy for children to suppress this word, resulting in many disasters and difficulties in fate. Therefore, rural people generally do not use these words for their children, basically the words used by the children of high society or aristocratic families at that time.
Therefore, some avoidance in the use of names is just an outward manifestation of the wishes and blessings given by previous people to children. There is also a saying in our rural areas that if a child loves life and has a poor foundation, he should be given a "low name", such as iron eggs, dog leftovers, two girls and the like, so that the child can better feed and bear the pain.
In modern times, when we name basically there are not too many taboos, boys with "heaven" in their names abound, some are even celebrities of the times, modern stars, etc., and there are many girls with the word "fairy" in their names. These words are all very beautiful allegories, and parents try to add to their children's names, hoping that their children will have a better future.
At the same time, without the restrictions of "heaven" and "immortal", we now have other different taboos for naming children, such as some words with bad ambiguity and pronunciation, such as history, xiang, jian, etc. The pronunciation of some words combined is often reverie, so when taking names, it is necessary to maintain a beautiful pronunciation.
From the perspective of superstition, in addition to some folk sayings, we still retain the naming method of "Five Elements of Life", and many elders also believe in this statement:
In many more traditional places, when naming a child, you will also calculate the child's birthday eight characters, see how the child's life is, use the name to fill the child's life, and let the child's fate be better. Therefore, we often see children with the elements of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" in their names, which is the so-called "what is missing".
The name is not only a person's symbol and label, but also represents the parents' expectations and blessings for their children, so when we name them, we should choose words with good meanings for the children, so that the children can also live a lifetime with this blessing. It may have some superstitious overtones, but the child's name really can't be changed at will.
Important note: Some of the taboos on the use of words in the names of rural people are actually based on a superstitious statement, that rural children are not strong in life, and will not be able to suppress some words with relatively tall meanings. But there are no taboos in this regard when we name children now, but we also need to take into account the problem of pronunciation ambiguity and give children the best blessings and expectations with names.
