Named after birth time

Naming children after their birth time is one of the favorite traditional naming customs of our people. There are different ways to name a child according to its birth time. Here are some major ones.

1. Named after birth time.

The ancients often used twelve branches to represent twelve hours, and each hour is exactly equal to two modern hours. In modern times, every hour is divided into initial and active, and the list is as follows:

"Zi Zheng" means 12 pm, and "God Chef" means 3 pm. Some people are used to naming their children in this way. Of course, there are other time expressions. Here are some examples.

You: The nickname after the famous crosstalk performer is you. The Hou family named him "You" because he was born on October 15th (that is, at five or six o'clock in the afternoon), and because Beijingers are used to using Er rhyme, they added "Xiao" before "Er", also called "Xiao You Er".

Deficiency: Deng Tuo's real name. Father Deng Ouzi gave him this name because he was born in the early hours of the morning.

Xu Gui: Chen Yu was born in a sailor's family. His father named his child Xu because he was born in the morning (that is, 7-8 am) and because he is a sailor, he likes the morning sun best. Grandma thinks that the child is golden when he is born, and it can be seen that he wants to get married in the future and use the word "expensive". These two words represent the wishes of two generations. "Xu Gui" became the original name of Chen Yu together.

4. Named after the year of birth

The ancient calendar years in China were mostly in units of branches, and ten branches and twelve branches were combined into sixty units in turn, which were called Sixty Jiazi:

Jia Chou Duan yin ding Mao Ji si

Geng Wu Wei Xin Ren Shen Gui You Wu Jia Yi Hai

Bing Zi Ding Chou Wu Yinji Mao Chen Geng Shinji

In the afternoon, there was no answer, but there was no answer.

Woods is ugly, Geng Mao Gastly.

Wu Jiayi, Wei Bing, Shen Dingyou, Reform Movement of 1898, Ji Hai

Geng Xin zi Chou ren yin GUI Mao Wu Jia yi si

Ding hasn't applied for Wu Shen yet, but he has devoted himself to Xinhai.

Ren Zigui's Enemy Yi Yin Mao Bing Chen Dingsi

Wu Wu has not applied for his resignation.

After the "Sixty Jiazi" round, it started again. This chronology is still in use today, such as 1992, also known as Ren Shennian. Some people's names, such as Chen Geng and Xin Mao, are chosen according to the years of cadres and branches, so that others can know their date of birth at a glance. Some people are represented by only one word, such as those born in the year of B Chou, named Zhang Yi.

There are also Chinese zodiac signs to indicate the year. Each Zodiac represents one year, with twelve earthly branches: rat, ugly cow, silver tiger, hairy rabbit, Chen Long, snake, afternoon horse, sheep, monkey, pheasant, dog and porcupine, which are circulated once every twelve years. If born in 1985, 1973, 19 1, 1949, 1937, 1925,1.
