To solve the problem of high rate of duplicate names in China, why not restore the traditional name system named after surnames, first names and characters?

For 5,000 years, China people all had surnames, names, characters and numbers, and so did the Republic of China, only after liberation, they were reduced to surnames and first names for promotion. If the pattern of "surname+first name+word+number" is restored now, the people nearby will be the first to be forced because they don't know how to address you at all.

Surname: it is the title of a race with blood, lineage and kinship. It came into being in the period of clan commune in primitive society and originated from the totem of ancient tribes. As we all know, matriarchal clan commune is the earliest social form of human beings, so many ancient surnames, such as Jiang, Yao, Yi and Yi, all reflect the social reality at that time. With the development of society, the sources of surnames are constantly enriched. Some take fiefs as surnames, such as Qi, Lu, Wu, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Song and Chen. Some take official titles as surnames, such as Wang, Hou, Sima and Situ. Some take occupation as their surnames, such as Tao and Jia. Some take their place of residence as their surnames, such as Ximen, Dongguo and Nanguo.

S: It's a branch of surname. Due to the reproduction of offspring, a race is divided into several branches, scattered all over the country, and each branch is marked with a special symbol, which is stone. For example, it used to be said that the ancestors of businessmen were descendants, and later they were divided into Yin, Shi, Lai and Song surnames. It can be said that the surname is the old clan number and the surname is the post-clan number. Later, around the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people began to take stone as their surname. The combination of surnames began in Qin and Han Dynasties. Only nobles have surnames. Noble people have surnames, and women have surnames. For example, the surname of Ji in "Ji Jia Jiang Attack" is the doctor of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, Ji Kangzi, a fat name, who is in charge of state affairs and has an evil plan.

Name: It is a unique code name for everyone. The surname is public and the first name is private. In ancient times, babies were named by their fathers three months after birth. The name of Shang Dynasty is the earliest name we have ever seen. There were more single names than double names in Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were many compound names, except the emperor, because single names were easy to avoid. After the Song Dynasty, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the naming method of word generation spectrum was the most popular. The Ming and Qing dynasties are characterized by genealogical naming, which has a great influence. Naming is often influenced by the times. Especially during the Cultural Revolution, people liked to use the words Jianguo, Hong and Dong to name them. After the reform and opening up, there has been a westernization tendency in naming.

If China really restores this tradition, it will be even worse. It is estimated that there will be many jokes. First of all, not all the words used can be used as names, and some words are inappropriate. It would be funny if these words were used to say. Now, not all people are influenced by China's traditional culture. In fact, it can be said that 95% people in China, if they really restore that model, will violate the taboos of the ancients.
