But the method of "naming" is not just about enabling humans to use "language and writing" to communicate and accumulate knowledge. The most important function is to transform the "individual subconscious" into the "collective subconscious" and "consciousness". In a specific objective environment, people in the same ethnic group "name" countless things and ideas inducted through experience, and the countless "names" generated from this ethnic group constitute the language and writing system of this ethnic group (referred to as language), the language of this ethnic group enables individuals in the ethnic group to communicate with other individuals, and after countless exchanges in daily life, the ethnic group reaches a consensus on certain things or the laws of the universe, and forms the unique culture, religion and worldview of this ethnic group. This is how the "individual subconscious" of different ethnic groups in the group can gradually coalesce into the "collective subconscious" for generations.

But on the other hand, another important function of "naming" is to transform the "subconscious" into "conscious". The "subconscious" can be divided into three categories, including: "individual subconscious", "collective subconscious" and "large subconscious". The "personal subconscious" comes from personal life experiences; The "collective subconscious" comes from a group of people formed by countless exchanges in the same objective living environment, which can be said to come from society; The "great subconscious" comes from the "stars", that is, from the source of life, and can be said to be the "instinct" of human beings. These three "subconscious" minds influence our daily lives, guiding and determining our behavior. The detailed explanation is as follows:

For example, a child once went to the river to play and accidentally fell into the river, although he was rescued, because of this experience, he would unconsciously have "fear" and "cold" associations whenever he saw water, so he avoided drinking "plain water" as much as possible in his life, because the clear boiled water reminded him of "fear" and "cold".

The "collective unconscious" is derived from the experience of a group of people who make up society, and the dominant ideas of society influence the behavior of individuals. For example, different food cultures developed in different societies, e.g. Muslims do not eat "pigs" because the social culture and religion of this group of people make them associate "unclean" with "pigs", and of course the causes of this concept or mainstream culture are complex. The meaning of the "collective unconscious" has already been introduced, so it will not be repeated, and there will be no further discussion on the causes of the above-mentioned "no pig" food culture.

The "Great Subconscious" is derived from the "Star". The simplest example is that people are hungry and want to find food, and feeling hungry is the innate instinct of living beings, and it is a way to protect the continuation of life. However, when human beings are hungry, they will use their accumulated experience to obtain food more easily, so in order to ensure the source of food, human beings have developed agriculture, animal husbandry and other different social divisions of labor, and in order to cope with "hunger", human beings have been more active in developing science and technology. This example illustrates how the "big subconscious" of the stars drives us to strive for survival.

The above three types of "subconscious" affect human behavior in different forms, but before these "subconscious" are transformed into "conscious", human behavior is controlled by them without knowing it. But the reason why human beings are "spirits of all things" is because they can transform these "subconscious" into "conscious", that is, to "know why we do what we do?" Find out why you did that." Human "consciousness" is the light of our civilization, but how does this light illuminate our lives? The knowledge in the book is a good example of "consciousness".

Human beings "name" things are to transform the "personal subconscious" into consciousness, for example, the name "GG", a primitive man "named" thing A as "GG", whenever he thinks of thing A, he will realize what it is and what qualities this thing has, and these things with "names" are conducive to his application in daily life. For example, he is a fisherman, he catches fish every day, but recently he feels that there are fewer fish that can be caught during this time, but he doesn't know how much, follow up on past experience, if the number of fish caught for five consecutive days is getting less and less day by day, it means that winter is coming, and he must be ready for winter. But how does he calculate? One day he saw thing A and remembered that the name of thing A was "GG", and immediately he thought that all the things A called "GG" were stacked on top of each other. He had a flash of inspiration and thought that after fishing every day, each fish was represented by a piece of "GG", and a bunch of "GG" every day, as long as he counted how many "GG" there were every day, he would know how many fish he had caught that day. This was the beginning of human mathematics, and today, algebra in our mathematics uses the "names" of X, Y, Z, etc., to represent different things as the basis for operations. Of course, there are many other examples, but the point is that after transforming the "personal subconscious" into consciousness (i.e. knowledge) through "naming", individuals can distinguish different kinds of things more clearly, and thus better grasp and remember the characteristics of things, so as to make use of them.

That is, if you want to remember 1 thing, and this thing has 100 qualities, imagine if you want to remember these 100 qualities separately before you can remember this thing, or if you "name" this thing GG, when you think of GG, you can remember the most important quality of this thing. When two similar things are put together for you to identify, thing A and thing B each have 100 qualities, and only 10 of the two are different, and the other 90 qualities are the same, if you think logically and generalize, the thing with a certain 10 common traits, "name" as Q class, and thing A as "named" as GG, and thing B "named" as DD, and when you think that GG and DD have the same 10 traits, you can summarize it as Q class, and then subdivide it. GG reminds you of 10 other traits, and DD reminds you of 10 other traits, and 4 of their 10 traits are different, so you can immediately tell that GG and DD are not the same thing. In simple terms, each "name" is a label, and these labels are the cornerstone of human logical thinking. With "labels", we can effectively summarize and compare different things, which can help human memory and greatly increase the capacity of human memory. To put it simply, is it easier for you to find a book with a name (label) in a library with a label classification, or is it easier to find a red, A4-inch, 15-inch thick book without a name (label) in a library without a label (label)? That's the benefit of naming.

The "subconscious of the individual" is transformed into the "consciousness" of the individual through "naming". Now that we have discussed how the "collective unconscious" is formed, the following article will focus on the transformation between the "unconscious" and the "conscious", because it is necessary to understand the relationship between the two in order to know how the future of humanity should develop.
