Chapter 74: First and Foremost (Part II)

Surname, first name, and character, Su Yan temporarily excluded the table words, maybe the table words will appear in the future, but not now.

Only the first and last names remain, that is, the first name.

The surname is very well formed, that is, the name or totem of the tribe is the surname, the surname of the snake tribe is "snake", and the surname of the tiger tribe is "tiger".

In the Chinese tradition, the 12 zodiac signs are all surnames, and it is not strange to have animal names, such as the most common surnames of the ox and horse, and the surname of the snake and the tiger, but there are very few.

In the future, the snake tribe and the tiger tribe will merge into one tribe, maybe it will not be the snake tribe or the tiger tribe at that time, and the possibility of forming the dragon tribe is the largest, and the snake and tiger surnames will be the proof that the snake tribe and the tiger tribe once existed.

Su Yan himself was born in the snake tribe, and it stands to reason that he is also a snake surname, but Su Yan has the identity of a divine envoy, in order to reflect his high status in the two tribes, Su Yan will not use the snake surname, but the surname "dragon".

The surname is simple, the name is going to be tired, Su Yan gave many people in the snake tribe names, Xiaohua, Xiaoyue, Derpy, Big Mouth, Fierce Face, One-eyed, Fast Legs, as well as Zhi, Biao, and Yuan.

The former is the name Su Yan gave people at the beginning, it doesn't look like a name, it's more like a nickname, Xiaohua Xiaoyue can be used as a name, but it's not very good to use a big mouth, a fierce face and the like, and then Su Yan was irritable when he named it, and directly used numbers as a name.

The names of the latter, such as Zhi, Biao, Yuan, and Han are the more formal names given by Su Yan, and the names for everyone should follow the latter, but there will be a lot of repetition in the name of only one word, so there will also be a two-word name.

After deciding to name everyone, Su Yan asked his people to collect some relatively thin pottery shards, and he found a pottery shard the size of an adult's palm, almost a square from a pile of pottery shards.

Su Yan grinded this pottery fragment on a stone until the pottery fragment was more regular, and the sharp angles on the four sides became dull, and then Su Yan took a sharp stone and carved the word "dragon" on one side of this "ID card" and the word "Yan" on the other side.

The surname is Long Mingyan, this is the name that Su Yan prepared for himself, "Su Yan" is the name of the previous life, and the reincarnation is a human, so many years have passed, many things in the previous life are no longer important, and the name is also one of them, the surname can be changed, but the name is not used. (For the time being, the protagonist is still called "Su Yan")

In about twenty minutes, the world's first "identity card" appeared, although it only had a name engraved on it, and there was no other record, but it had already left its footprints and become a witness to history.

The "ID card" made of pottery fragments is not too good, it is heavier and inconvenient to carry, and it may be broken if it accidentally falls to the ground, it is much better if it is changed to wood, but unfortunately there is no metal knife, and it is impossible to make an "ID card" with a wooden card.

However, it is okay to use pottery fragments to make an "ID card", Su Yan carved his name on this pottery fragment is not really used as an ID card, and the current situation does not require an ID card.

Only one-tenth of the people of the two tribes know the dragon character or are learning the dragon character, and the others do not know the word, so Su Yan wants them to know and remember their name, making such a brand is undoubtedly a good choice.

Su Yan's memory is very good, but there is no way to remember everyone's names at once.

One person issues a sign engraved with his name, and when he forgets his name, he can take the sign and ask someone who knows how to write, which is the main purpose of Su Yan's "ID card".

After doing a good job of his "ID card", Su Yan was not in a hurry to make the next "ID card", and it was a waste of time to polish a suitable pottery fragment.

During the rainy season, it rains almost every three or five days, and the tribesmen can only stay in the house, but they can also work in the house, such as weaving straw ropes, making fish pots, weaving rattan shoes, and so on.

Su Yan asked several clansmen to polish pottery fragments for themselves, square or rectangular, the size of an adult's palm, and they just carved words on the pottery fragments.

The next day, the weather was sunny and the temperature was slightly hot.

Su Yan took the polished sign from the clansmen, first of all, the "ID card" of the snake witch and the tiger witch, Su Yan held two signs, one side of which had the word "witch" written on it, and the other side of the word "tiger" and the word "snake".

Wu is the profession of the snake witch and the tiger witch, and it is also their name.

After that, the leaders of the two tribes, Zhi and Biao, and then the "ID card" of Xiaohua Xiaoyue sisters and Su Yan's adoptive mother.

"Little Flower" and "Little Moon" can be used as names, but they seem a little simple, and Su Yan expands them to "plum blossoms" and "Eyue".

Plum blossom, in traditional Chinese culture, plum with its noble, strong, modest character, to give people the motivation to work hard. In the bitter cold, plum blossoms are the first to bloom, and spring is the only one in the world.

The origin of "Xiao Yue" is that Xiao Yue's eyes are narrowed into a crescent moon when she laughs, and it is very appropriate to use "E Yue" as the name.

Although the name has been changed to "plum blossom" and "e-yue", the name "little flower" and "little moon" will appear more intimate.

also has the name of her adoptive mother, and in the end, Su Yan chose to use the word "Ci", kindness and benevolence.

Put down the other signs first, Su Yan picked up the signs of the snake witch and the tiger witch and the two blank signs, walked towards the snake witch's house, walked to the door, and saw that in the outhouse, the tiger witch and the tiger witch disciples were learning dragon language and dragon characters with the snake witch.

Sensing Su Yan's figure, the four people in the outhouse hurriedly stood up, tilted their chests left and right, and bowed slightly to Su Yan.

Su Yan waved his hand as a waiver, and the four people in the outhouse got up.

Su Yan walked into the room and handed the two signs to the snake witch and the tiger witch respectively, the snake witch and the tiger witch took the signs, looked at the signs carefully, and wondered in their hearts, not knowing what this divine envoy was going to do.

"This is a name tag with your last name engraved on one side and your name engraved on the other."

"Oracle, what is the 'surname'?" What is the name? The snake witch asked.

The words "surname" and "first name" were not taught to them by Su Yan, and the words and languages taught by Su Yan before were all used in people's daily lives.

Su Yan took a few steps forward, and the four people in the outhouse stepped aside to make way for Su Yan, Su Yan came to the stone slab at the end of the outhouse, picked up a sharp stone on the ground, and Su Yan engraved the words "surname" and "first name" on the stone slab.

"'Name', everything in the world has a name, stone, wood, grass, flowers, water, fire, are all 'names', you, me, and him all have 'names', my name is 'Yan', your name is 'Wu'......"
