Ask everyone, are you happy with your last name? I'll start by saying that I'm not satisfied. Although my pen name is Ai Xiaoyang, my father is not surnamed Ai, but Zhang, and another writer, Ai Mingya, whose father's surname is Chen, always jokes with her, saying that we are two "Ai teachers" whose fathers are not surnamed Ai.
It is difficult to come up with a good name for the surname Zhang, as far as the eye can see, I personally think that Zhang Sanfeng, the head of Tai Chi, is the best name in the surname Zhang. The majestic atmosphere of Sanfeng and the plain simplicity of the surname Zhang complement each other, and when I hear the name, I feel that this person is free and easy and trustworthy.
Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Wanyi also belong to the better names in the surname Zhang.
The surname Zhang, I think it is suitable to take a big name, both the pronunciation and the overall artistic conception are large, there is a sense of emptiness, it is good, and the name of flowers and plants is not very suitable for the surname Zhang.
But there's a beautiful beauty in my name, the kind of person who thinks I'm a layman at a glance at my name, and I don't want to be curious about myself through my name.
When I was in junior high school, I was very unhappy with my name. Once at the dinner table, the old man Zhang, who was dancing and writing, proudly said that his article was rated as the best in a certain news award, and there was a bonus, and everyone praised him for his good writing. I immediately dismantled the stage: Your writing is so good, why do you give me such an uneducated name.
My dad rolled his eyes: Our family has been poor for generations, and ordinary people can only be surnamed Zhang. It doesn't mean that the name he chose is not good, but the surname is not good, and I can't blame him, but I blame my lack of reincarnation skills.
Nowadays, the popular "quarrel first blacks yourself, and then blacks so much that others have nothing to say", my dad understood it more than 30 years ago.
I joined the literary club in high school, published articles in the school newspaper, and the editor was a senior senior, who was a little interesting to me, and changed my name to "Lin Wanru" because of the iron, thinking that only this name was worthy of my words.
When we met after college, he still affectionately called me "just like".
Lin Wanru should be the name of the lover in his dreams, and the appearance and personality behind this name are all what a woman should look like from the perspective of a man's gaze. It's a pity I'm not. I always have a child living in my heart, and it is not a little girl in a puffy skirt in the traditional sense, but a naughty and vigorous child.
Although I used to refute my dad when I was an adolescent, I slowly found that ginger was still old and spicy. My dad is right, the surname is very important, the surname is good, it is easy to choose a name, the surname is ordinary, to come up with a name that makes people shine, you need to work hard and be in the right place at the right time.
Looking at Jinjiang literature and the various ancient puppets, modern puppets, and domineering president film and television dramas derived from it, the surnames that dominate the world are basically Gu, Shen, Lin, Bai, Yan, Xia, Lu, Xiao, Qiao, Luo, He, Ge, Meng and other temperament surnames.
Mr. Gu and Mr. Zhang appeared together, Mr. Gu must have the aura of the protagonist, and he will not die in various stacks of buffs, and every girl loves him. Mr. Zhang is either Mr. Gu's deputy, a tool man who ensures that Mr. Gu will not die, or he is a vicious male partner, who is stupid and bad and wants to eat swan meat, and he will receive a boxed lunch in three or five episodes.
If it's the other way around, it's not right for everyone to read.
The names of characters in literary works represent the public's subconscious yearning for the plot of the story. In a work that is passed on by word of mouth to the public, the main characters often have "highly attractive" names. High attractiveness is not a word I made up randomly, many scholars at home and abroad specialize in names, and have come to the conclusion that "people with highly attractive names are more individually attractive".
No matter how good the name is, it is not as good as the surname, and an excellent surname has its own temperament.
Among modern authors, Eileen Chang is one of the earliest writers to gain insight into the relationship between name and attractiveness.
Fan Liuyuan, Bai Tassel, Meng Yanli, Gu Manzhen, Shen Shijun, Sheng Jiuli, Shao Zhiyong, Tong Shifang, Feng Biluo, Jiang Yunze, Yan Ziye, Luo Qianzhi, Nangong Wu, Ge Weilong, Qiao Qiqiao, Yin Baoyun, Duan Ayaqing...... Every name can be taken out in the Jinjiang universe with one as ten.
I suspect that Eileen Chang's fastidious approach to the names of her characters is due to her own very common first and last names, so it is difficult for her to have her protagonist surnamed Zhang (which I understand very well).
Occasionally, if there is an ordinary name, a rare surname should be given, such as Cao Qiqiao, Tong Zhenbao, Nie Chuanqing, Lu Zhaolin, Xu Xiaohan and so on.
Wang Jiazhi in "Lust and Caution" is almost the only heroine in Zhang Ailing's name universe who is ordinary from surname to name, perhaps to set off the straightforwardness of her character. The author is a little disgusted with this straightforwardness, Ang Lee keenly captured this, and when choosing Tang Wei to play this role, it was her "stunned" and "dull" that he liked.
The male Mr. Yi (Yi Mocheng) and Kwong Yumin in the same novel have returned to the rare surname Ba Zong, which is common in Zhang Ailing's novels.
Returning to the author himself, I believe that the name "Hu Lancheng", before the two met, should have formed a subconscious high attraction to Zhang Ailing, so when she saw him, she bloomed into the dust like a flower.
That day, I discussed the surname with the baby's father at the dinner table, and when it came to the surname Xiao, it was changed to Xiao because of the simplified word problem. Since then, there is no surname Xiao in the mainland, only Hong Kong and Taiwan. My daughter's best friend from elementary school is surnamed Xiao, and after listening to us, she said with regret that it would be nice if she was called Xiao**.
With the same sound, the character is different and the temperament is different. Xiao and Xiao, Yu and Yu, the former turned into a worker, and the latter always felt that he had a relationship with Miss Qianjin and the domineering president.
For example, if Xiao Jingteng is called Xiao Jingteng, it seems that the coffee position will be lowered, and if Yu Feihong is called Yu Feihong, he will not be so goddess.
Many banal names can be saved by interesting surnames.
A friend's mother is named Li Guiying, because one of her grandmother's favorite plays is Mu Guiying in charge. The relationship between the three generations of women in a family is very good, and the kind that can make jokes is good. She always joked with her grandmother, saying You see you gave my mother a lot of earthy names, Mu Guiying is good, is it because of Guiying, is it because of Mu.
The surname Mu suddenly made the two words Gui Ying full of pride and command, and my grandfather's surname was Li, and as soon as this surname was added, it was Gui Ying at the mouth of the village.
Everyone's feelings are actually similar. There is a post on the Internet, the blogger said that the surname Huo Jianhua always makes people ignore that his name is Jianhua. A bunch of netizens left messages below, saying that my second uncle is also called Jianhua, Zhang Jianhua, and that my grandfather's name is Li Jianhua.
Some people also pulled out Wang Jianguo, saying that these two names could have formed a CP to sit at the same table (the last row of the classroom), but Huo Jianhua crushed Wang Jianguo with his surname and sat in the first row.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Wang Jianguo's real name is Kang Hong, the name of the hero of Jinjiang Bazong's novel.
It can be seen that people are dissatisfied with themselves. has an ordinary surname and first name, and when he takes a stage name, he rushes to be maverick, such as Li Ruichao changing his name to Li Dan. He has been praised for his good name for more than ten or twenty years, and he has to be unknown to everyone when he chooses his stage name, such as Kang Hong who changed his name to Wang Jianguo.
Fortunately, it was changed early, otherwise someone would have said that he changed his name for Li Xueqin. If Wang Jianguo is still called Kang Hong, no matter how big Yang Tianzhen's brain is, he will not pull him to form a CP with Li Xueqin, after all, it is not a match. The one who can take the name Kanghong must be Yang Li.
There is also the name Lei Jun, which is replaced by Zhang Jun, Li Jun, and Wang Jun, but Lei Jun is just good, thunderous, a name with a lot of momentum, the surname and the name are a perfect match, and they can't miss a word.
looks mediocre, but in fact it is a perfect match for Li Xunhuan. The name Joy itself is full of breath. Zhang Xunhuan is like a big family robbing people's girls, Wang Xunhuan is like a nightclub cowherd, Gu Xunhuan, Bai Xunhuan, Lin Xunhuan, and he still can't be the male number one with the surname of the boss.
But the surname Li is born with an ascetic temperament, and Tang King Li Shimin, how upright, mightily suppressed the frivolity of "seeking pleasure". Let the name Li Xunhuan no longer flow in the air, but have the spirit of the rivers and lakes and the prodigal son.
There are also white paintings. If you don't believe it, if you try it, with any other surname, you can draw the fairy spirit of this name, which is either cheesy or hypocritical. Only the surname Bai, like an auspicious cloud, supported the painting of the god realm boss and the immortal Baizi through the ages.
If you have a good surname, you will win at the starting line. There are often people on the Internet who ask for names, and some have the surname Xiong, so that everyone can name their children. Bear paws, bear skin, bear Xiaohua, Xiong Xiong, you say that netizens are not serious, people also try their best, the limit is Xiong Dachuan, Xiong Annie or something.
As for the name of the surname Gu, netizens commented pertinently that "the surname Gu has won hemp". As long as you don't think about it, what is it called Gu Tiezhu and Gu Sanfat, it sounds good to take it casually, and if you work hard, you will have the names of Gu Qianfan and Gu Bailiu, or Bai Fumei Gu Li and Gu Xiang.
Rare surnames are also particularly suitable for single names, Lin Chuan, Gu Li, Bai Ye, and Han Han are all very good-sounding, and they are not easy to duplicate names. Zhang, Wang, Chen, Li are common surnames, you have to put a little thought into choosing a name, like Wang Yuyan, a god name is hard to find, which shows the depth of Jin Yong's skills.
