Now that people have names, why are they seldom named according to their seniority?

Generation, also called word generation, is the ranking of people named after a family, which can effectively distinguish elders from younger generations.

Back to the twenty-fifth chapter of "Officialdom Appearing": "Uncle Black turned against Mr. Jia and said," Your father called me uncle, and you are his son. Why do you call me uncle? I'm afraid there is something wrong with your qualifications. Say that finish, laughing. "It can be seen that the ancients attached great importance to generational.

Because until the Tang dynasty, most people took single-word names, and at this time there was no generational division. Until Li Xian, Tang Zhongzong, he had four sons, the eldest son Li Zhongrun, the second Li Zhongfu, the third Li Zhongjun and the fourth Li Zhongmao. As you can see, Li Xian's names for his sons are all heavy words. This is the earliest emperor named after generations, 1300 years ago. However, at that time, seniority was not popular, and there were no poems of later generations, so the emperors of later generations took the names of single words and did not rank them according to seniority.

Later generations began to develop slowly, and more and more emperors were named after generations.

After the Tang Dynasty, Li and other eight brothers were descendants.

Wang, the founder of Fujian in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, had 12 sons, all of whom were descendants of the imperial court. , Wang, etc.

In the Song Dynasty, the eldest was Zhao Kuangyin and Wang Cao, the second was Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin, the third was Zhao Guangyi and Song Taizong, the fourth was Zhao Tingmei and Wang Wei, and the fifth was Zhao Guangzan and Qi Wang. Judging from the five brothers and the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin, there is no unified word generation ranking at this time. This time, however, it changed, and Zhao Kuangyin ranked the descendants. The poem says: "KuangDe only follows the world, Bo Xishi and Meng Youyi." Zhao Kuangyin's descendants are ranked according to this. Zhao Yun, the fifth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, formerly known as Zhao and Ju, is the tenth grandson.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, who really promoted the word generation ranking. He arranged word generations for future generations and also set up an imperial clan to record the lineage of royal family members.

Zhu Biao, the eldest son's poem, said: Allow Wen to learn from his ancestors and admire the army to win, and make good use of his teachers when he meets auspicious times.

Poor Zhu Yun was usurped by Judy. Therefore, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was followed by Judy.

The fourth son, Judy's ci poems are: I look forward to seeing you together, carrying righteousness and long-term protection, paying equal attention to kindness and favor, and Emperor Jianjing bears the brunt. Zhu Youjian, the last emperor of Ming Dynasty, was the tenth grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because of the migration of China population, people with various surnames spread all over the country. Many people with the same surname and branch lost contact after parting, and many relatives didn't know each other when they met. For example, in the short two or three hundred years from the Qing Dynasty to the present, there are many generations behind, and many people are originally from the same family, and they are far apart.

If you don't know your seniority, if someone with the same surname is much older than you, you can call him grandpa. In fact, if calculated by seniority, he may be your grandson. Just kidding.

My name is Xie, and my ci poems are as follows: Lu Chaoshi, a good friend, Jing Tingwei, and God speaks to everyone. One is that the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, the original is long-lasting, and good inheritance can make a difference, knowing the power to reach the future, setting the scale before the constitution, improving the body, being superior, and having a high door.

Look at the word generation ranking and you will know which generation it is. But why don't people like to rank by word now?

Their names are Zi Han, Zi Han, Zi Han, Han Shi, Han Yu, Zixuan, Yuxuan, Haoxuan and Zixuan. Are the names all over the street really nice?
