Names will be affected by the times, for example, after the founding of New China, many people's names are called Jianguo, Jianjun, in the 60s and 70s, people's names are mostly Jun, Wei, Ling, Yan, etc., as for the post-90s and 00s, the names are more with Xuan, Han and the like. It can be said that they all have distinct characteristics of the times. In the Three Kingdoms era, some people's names had obvious Three Kingdoms overtones, and almost no one used these words except for the Three Kingdoms era.
Buds: Zhang Bao (son of Zhang Fei), Zhao Bao (Late Han Dynasty Liaoxi Taishou), Shi Bao (Western Jin Dynasty Founding Eight Dukes)
Bao is a typical Name of the Three Kingdoms, both among the scholars and commoners of that year, it was very popular, and then gradually disappeared, and after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, few people used this word to name it, probably because "Bud" was easily introduced into the meaning of "straw bale", so it was abandoned. As for what purpose Zhang Fei and Xia Houshi named their son Zhang Bao, it is not known.
Cao Cao (founder of Cao Wei, Emperor Wu of Wei), Ling Cao (father of the Wu general Ling Tong), Sima Hui (Zi De Cao, hermit in the late Eastern Han Dynasty)
Cao was pronounced in the Three Kingdoms, which means integrity, echoing Cao Cao's character Mengde, representing virtue and morality, from the Xunzi "Fu is the word moral exercise". After the Tang Dynasty, the word had two pronunciations, that is, two pronunciations of flat sound (one sound) and go to sound (four sounds), and the sound of going was gradually mixed with dirty characters, so there was basically no name after that.
Zhao: Sima Zhao (founder of the Western Jin Dynasty), Zhang Zhao (Elder of Eastern Wu), Hao Zhao (Cao Wei general), Dong Zhao (Cao Wei strategist)
After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, in order to avoid Sima Zhao,no one used the name of Zhao, and after the two Jin Dynasties, few people used it as a name, and it was not slowly restored until later generations.
Piety: Lü Qian (Wei general), Fu Qian (scribe), Wang Qian (Wang Langsun, brother of Wang Yuanji, uncle of Emperor Wu of Jin)
The pious character means respectful and is a good name, I don't know why it was abandoned after the Tang Dynasty, and it is rarely seen in the name.
Rails: Zhang Rail (Western Jin Dynasty Liangzhou Mu, former founder of Liang), Bi Rail (Cao Weisi Lieutenant), Liu Rail (Jizhou Assassin History)
The track character is a typical example of the name of Wei and Jin, and the characters "Fan" and "Ze" are common words in scripture, implying positive and beautiful, full of symbolic significance, so it was quite popular at that time. However, in later generations, the track character rarely appeared in the name, probably because the pronunciation was similar to "ghost", although the meaning of the track word itself did not change much, but few people used him as a name.
Chong: Cao Chong (Cao Caozi), Zheng Chong (Master of Classics), Hu Chong (Sun Wu Zhongshu Ling), Wang Zhan (Zi Chu Chong, Taiyuan Wang Clan)
However, the ancient meaning of chong zi is not the same as today's meaning, in the Three Kingdoms period, Chong still did not have the meaning of impact and charge, but mostly represented the meaning of emptiness and thinness, which was an important concept in Wei and Jin metaphysics. From Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, "If Da Cheng is lacking, its use is not harmful." Big profit, its use is not endless."
Miao: Liu Xuan (Eastern Han Dynasty, Yangzhou Mu), Zhong Xuan (Cao Wei Taifu)
The original meaning of the word 繇 is the same as the "徭" of "徭役", and after the Three Kingdoms, basically no one used this word to name it.
