Recently, some readers have responded to me with such questions and explained them slightly. The words of the family will not be repeated in the future, after all, my brother is a bitter writer, not a historian.

Most of our inferences about the ancients are based on the books left behind, and then add our own speculations. In fact, whether the real ancients were like this is still a question mark.

The title of the ancients is divided into three parts: name, character and number, among them, the name and character must have been taken by the elders, and the number is their occasional flash of inspiration or boredom.

For example, Su Shi, the word Zizhan, and Zhong, the number of Dongpo layman. Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of the first sister of Malanshan, who called herself Sister Po, and couldn't help laughing.

Take Su Shi as an example, when you open your mouth, you will be called "Su Shi", which seems to be a bit straightforward and rude, you want to call Zizhan or He Zhong, which is more stable and polite.

Of course, if you want to call him Mr. Dongpo, the other party is even more happy, everyone wants to be recognized by others, and the self-proclaimed you call out is obviously a recognition of his number.

When to take the word, this is a matter of opinion, even if you travel to the ancient times and come back, there are not many people who believe in you, after all, everyone has their own ideas, right.

In my opinion, it would be too far-fetched to have to wait until the crown to take the word.

Legend has it that Ganluo is the prime minister, no matter how old you are, you can't just shout to a country's important ministers: "Hey, Ganluo, your mother told you to go home for dinner!" ”

In that way, Mr. Gongsun taught the concept of law and governed the country according to the law of Western Qin, it is estimated that you will be half dead if you are not killed.

Since I am writing about this period of history at the end of the Han Dynasty, let's take the familiar Zhuge Liang as an example.

His mother Zhang died of illness when he was 3 years old, and he lost his father when he was 8 years old.

In the second year of Jian'an (197), Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan died of illness; Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had escaped from Li Dao in Chang'an and moved to Cao Cao's Xu County.

Zhuge Liang was 16 years old at this time, and he liked to read "Liang's Father's Yin" on weekdays, and often compared himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi.

At that time, people were disdainful of him, and only his friends Xu Shu and Cui Zhou believed in his talents.

So, the problem is, Brother Liang is only 16 years old, and when Mr. Shui Jing introduced the ancestor to the ancestors, he told him: the surname Zhuge is named Liangzi Kong Ming.

Word! Hole! Bright!

In the Three Kingdoms, it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, few are famous in old age, and the rest are well-known in the world when they are young.

Fei Ge's daughter-in-law is Xiahou Yuan's daughter, that is, he didn't have a wife when he followed Liu Bei.

It is not the age of late marriage and late childbearing, and it is important to pay attention to unfilial piety and have three non-queens, which shows that he is still young and has not reached the crown at all.

Lao Zhang's family is not so poor that he can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, and it is normal for a butcher shop owner to buy several sets of commercial houses.

Therefore, in my opinion, the ancients took the word from your family or other elders because you were sensible.

After having words, you can roam the rivers and lakes and yell "Yanren Zhang Yide is here", the effect is much better than the sentence "My name is Zhang Fei", it seems to be a lot of bulls, right?

Calling a person's name seems too abrupt and direct, in my opinion, the word is the name of the elder to the junior, and the name of the peer is a term of endearment.

Well, our ancestors also have a nickname, not only Westerners call Daniel Daniel, but our family also has it.

Isn't there one in modern society? If a person's last word is army, the elders are called jun'er, Xiaojun; Equals call the army, the army and the like.

Let's talk about self-professes, generally call themselves by their names, preparations, exercises, and powers.

When he is not famous, he says "a certain Hedong Xie Liang", which is for unfamiliar people.

With an official position, the cost of the subordinates is too guarded, the official, the general.

That's all for the explanation, and I'm gone.
