Five points of the old tradition

Because with the progress of the times and the opening of ideas, the customs of the past gradually disappeared. At present, most families adopt naming methods according to their current personal habits. If you use the old tradition to name, it will narrow the naming scope and you can't get a satisfactory name.

Moreover, the concept of rural people will be more conservative, and everyone will not dare to violate family rules. Even if many customs are unscientific, they need to be observed. Naming by generations is a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years and every family must abide by it. However, as rural people go to work in cities, their horizons become broader, and their concept of choosing names will be more enlightened, and they will not be bound by past customs.

At the same time, it is also related to the weakening of cohesion, because in the early years, family cohesion will be stronger, each family has its own culture, and each ethnic group will abide by family rules. Naming by generations is also the most basic cultural form, but now human feelings are becoming more and more indifferent. Even people in the same family, if they don't meet at work all the year round, their feelings will become indifferent, so they will be more casual in choosing names and have too many constraints.

In addition, it also avoids that children's names are rigid because they are named according to their generations, which will cause children to be teased by classmates at school. Because of the improvement of education level, the academic qualifications of young people are also improving. Therefore, everyone is more trend-oriented and doesn't like being too similar to others. So they don't care too much about the meaning of naming by generation.

And now that the mind has been liberalized, everyone has the right to pursue novelty, and they can be more casual when choosing names, but some people still choose to name their children according to their seniority, because this is a kind of respect and comfort to the family.
