Chapter 6: The People of the Wang Clan (I)
Speaking of this, Wang Yan sighed deeply before he continued: "Your grandfather had three sons and two daughters. Big brother Wang Hao, the word Yuehe! ”
"Father, I never understood why everyone had to take words. Also, what is the basis for this word? In fact, this is also a problem that Wang Xu has been trying to figure out in his previous life, and of course he will not let go of such a good opportunity now.
"Huh! That's a good question. Although his speech was interrupted, Wang Yan did not have any dissatisfaction. touched Wang Xu's head, and patiently explained.
"Words, like names, are actually easy to be called. However, the title of a person with knowledge and status must of course be courteous. Therefore, the word is what we call others when we become adults, and it is the expression of others' respect for you. Generally, only the elders call you by your first name, although there are some exceptions. For example, in order to establish absolute majesty, the battlefield commander can also be called by his name. ”
In addition, another function of the word is to explain and supplement your name with the name. From ancient times to the present, there has always been a saying that 'men have twenty crowns and words' and 'women have fifteen crowns and words', and there are clear records about this in the "Book of Rites". The meaning of this sentence is that a man has to take the word after he has performed the weak crown ceremony of adulthood at the age of 20, while a woman has to take the word when she has a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 15, and she will also take the word when she can get married! However, ordinary people generally rarely take words, and there are even fewer women, even if the women of the official eunuch family are not particularly outstanding, they will not take words. For this reason, the word selection is very particular! ”
As he spoke, Wang Yan stroked his beard and stared at Wang Xu with loving eyes. One is synonymous and repeated, such as the proverb for the father's surname Wang, and the words are straightforward. The proverb means straight words, so it is similar to my words, and your grandfather took it this way in the hope that I would be open-minded and upright. And you Uncle Xu, whose real name is Xu Rui, the word Zhaoxiang, Rui and Xiang are all auspicious signs. Qu Ping, a famous man of the Warring States Period, the word Yuan, isn't the vast Ping the original? So it's called synonymous repetition. ”
The other is the antisense relativity, which means that the meaning of the word is exactly opposite to your name, in order to balance. For example, Wang Fei, the son of your third uncle Wang Qian, because flying alone is too public, so your uncle is going to wait for him to become an adult, and he will be named 'Zi Qian'. ”
"As for the last one, it's called Lian Yi Tui Idea. For example, your uncle Wang Hao, the word Yuehe. Here is taken from an association, too bright and pleasant, thunder is made. is also like the eldest brother's eldest son, Wang Kai, who always wins. It is associated with Changsheng by Triumph, and it is also prepared for him to use when he becomes an adult. ”
After explaining so much in one breath, Wang Yan couldn't help but ask lovingly: "Do you understand what I mean by these words?" ”
"The child understands, in fact, the child secretly reads books and reads, and his father explains it in such detail, so he can barely understand it!" casually found a reason, Wang Xu was still thinking about his father's explanation just now.
I see, Zhao Yun, the word Zilong, is associated with Yun Conglong! Guan Yu, the word cloud is long, and it is also associated with the floating clouds in the sky by feathers! Huang Zhong, the word Hansheng, since he is loyal and righteous, and he is in the Han Dynasty, it is understandable to name Hansheng! They should all belong to the conjecture of righteousness. And Zhuge Liang, the word Kong Ming, Liang and Ming have the same meaning! This is synonymous and repeated, used to supplement the explanation. As for the opposite of antisense, the great Confucian Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty, the character Yuan is obscure, Xi is the meaning of fire, and obscurity means obscure, just antisense.
Thinking of these, Wang Xu felt that the words of the ancients were very interesting, and of course, now he has become one of the interesting ancients.
Of course, Wang Yan didn't know that Wang Xu had so many thoughts, and when he heard Wang Xu say that he secretly read and write, his eyes immediately widened in surprise. "Oh? My son is secretly literate? ”
But seeing that Wang Xu was wandering outside the world in a daze, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What is Xu'er stunned?" ”
"Huh? Oh! Not really, Father! I just thought it was funny, so I was thinking about it! After speaking, Wang Xu pretended to look at Wang Yan mysteriously, and said softly: "Sue you!" Not only can I read and write, but I already know more than 10,000 words! No one knows about this. ”
"What? Do you already know more than 10,000 words? How can it be? Why don't you ever tell your father? At this moment, Wang Yan was already frightened by Wang Xu.
However, Wang Xu, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately pretended to be confused, looked at Wang Yan with a tiger's head, and blinked a few times with big eyes. Then he touched his head again, and pretended to be infinitely annoyed and complained: "I don't know either! On weekdays, I like to ask Uncle Xu to read to me, and when he finishes reading, I can remember it as long as I glance at it. But Uncle Xu always said that I can't learn to read until I grow up, and I need a teacher to teach me. So I never dared to say it! Father, do you think I'm a monster! ”
Seeing his son's frightened look, Wang Yan suddenly comforted him distressedly: "Why are you a monster? It's just that you're too smart to be compared to ordinary people. Don't be cranky! ”
In fact, Wang Yan was extremely happy, and he only thought that his son simply liked to listen to Zhaoxiang study. But I didn't expect to have such a terrifying talent, and then recalled that Wang Xu had a vision when he was born, and the expectations in my heart were raised to the extreme.
"Really? Am I really not a monster? ”
"It's not!" Wang Yan looked at Wang Xu firmly, and said loudly: "My son is a genius from heaven, how can he be compared to ordinary people!" ”
Wang Xu laughed secretly in his heart, pretending to be cute just to let his father affirm the fact that he was a child, and at the same time accept his inhuman talent! It's just that I didn't expect to pass this level so easily.
While breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, Wang Xu pretended to be shy and twisted: "Father, the child only has a slightly better memory!" How can it be as good as you say, our culture is broad and profound, and more than 10,000 words are just scratching the surface! In fact, when he said this, Wang Xu was very embarrassed......
"Good! What a broad and profound, what a good only fur! My son's future literature will surely crown the contemporary. ”
Wang Xu didn't listen to his father's praise. Besides, he himself knew very well that this so-called genius was an imposter at all. "Father, don't talk about this again, let's introduce me to the people in the family!"
"Good, good, good! For the Father, I'll tell you them all! ”
glanced at Wang Xu dotingly, and then Wang Yan said again: "Just mentioned your uncle Wang Hao!" Well...... Your uncle has a son and a daughter, and the eldest son, Wang Kai, is your brother, who is five years older than you. The long queen month, a year older than you. It's the two who have to pull you to play with every time they come, and you teased your sister last time. ”
