Claiming to be traditional

Example 1: The Peach Blossom Fan Listening to the Barn by Confucius in the Qing Dynasty: "A young man, surnamed Hou, was also from Zhongzhou and returned to Germany." In interpersonal communication, first names are generally used as honorifics, courtesy names, or honorifics and long names. Peers only call each other by their first names when they know each other well. In most cases, it is considered impolite to call each other or others by their first names.

Example 2: The second time in Wu's "The Present Situation of the Strange Witnessed in Twenty Years" in Qing Dynasty: "This man's surname is You, and his name is Yunxiu. He is my father's closest friend at home. " It is considered polite to compliment each other among peers. When writing a letter or making a phone call, you can call your name, but you can never call your name.

Ancient name etiquette:

According to the basic common sense of China's traditional etiquette, it is presumptuous for people to call themselves modest names and proper names when communicating with others.

So the ancients claimed to be the first. When addressing others, using words is honorific, and using names is derogatory. For example, when Yue Fei joined the army, he introduced himself and said, "I dare to be a soldier." This is a modest title. For example, Zhang Fei, the enemy of Lu Yu, roared: "Stop the thief, your grandfather Zhang Yide is here!" Here, borrowing words to claim to reveal Zhang Fei's domineering when facing the enemy;

When Cao Cao met Liu Bei, he called him "Duke Xuande", which was a respectful title, while calling him "the son of Liu Bei" behind his back was a typical derogatory title. In some film and television works, these problems have not received good attention, so sometimes people laugh.

The ancients generally claimed to use their own names, but claimed to use their own words, which are fake names. They must not be mixed, which will make jokes.
