The ancient chivalrous people often said: If you do not change your name if you sit, you will not change your surname. What does "si" mean?

Should I change my name if I can do it, or my surname if I sit down? I believe everyone is familiar with this sentence. You can often see it in costume dramas. But I haven't seen anyone say this sentence in the play, and I always have a question, that is: Why do you want to change your last name? ?It wasn't until later that I discovered that I had always misunderstood the meaning of the word "sitting". It's really terrible to be uneducated. In fact, the more accurate term for this "sitting" should be "sitting together", which is similar to the responsibility of sitting together. Let's explain it in detail below.

In our Chinese culture, names are very important. Names are given by our parents and we cannot change them at will. Compared with the first name, the surname is more important. The surname is passed down from generation to generation, represents a family, and is a symbol of the continuation of the bloodline. We Chinese attach great importance to surnames, and we even wrote a book called "Hundred Family Surnames" to introduce various surnames. Therefore, a person's name accompanies the person's life, and the name represents the person. Therefore, many heroes and heroes like to put "Don't change your name when you are walking, don't change your surname when you sit" as a mantra on their lips to show that they do not hide their names and do things aboveboard.

The following is the key content. ?行? is easy to understand and there is no misunderstanding. It means walking around the world. Many people may think that "sitting" means sitting, but if you understand it this way, people will not understand the meaning of the second half of the sentence. "Sitting" should be "Continuous Sitting". According to the explanation on Baidu Encyclopedia, "Lianzuo" means: "Refers to the system in ancient or modern China where people who have a certain relationship with the criminal are jointly and severally punished because of other people's crimes." ?It should not be difficult to understand when it comes to this. Lianzuo was invented by the famous reformer Shang Yang. He divided 10 households into a group. People in the group should supervise each other. If someone in the group made a mistake and the person who made the mistake was not reported, then the other people in the group would They have to bear the responsibility of sitting together, that is, they have to accept the punishment together. Similar to sitting together, we also need to talk about being connected.

So what a hero says? He won’t change his surname even if he is sitting in a row. It means that he will not change his surname even if he has to sit in a row or be implicated.
