Why did people choose their names according to their seniority before? Why not now?

In society, we will find that our former fathers were generally named according to their seniority, and there were also many stresses. So when choosing a name, you will add qualifications to the name. Grandparents and fathers used this form, but now it is gradually discovered that many young people do not follow this generational form when choosing names. It's embarrassing to name something according to the generation. It was a long time ago that history named something according to generations. There was such a naming method in the Ming dynasty, which also met the requirements of many people to distinguish generations.

Identity restriction In ancient times, when choosing a name, the requirements for identity were restricted in the form of generations. Usually, nobles or ordinary people with higher status usually have to distinguish generations when taking names. Looking at the genealogy, we can find the generation of names and even a person's status. Naming has a traditional culture in China, and it also represents the status of the family. It has been very particular since ancient times.

When you choose a name, you can usually find the order of young and old, which is also different from the order of young and old. At the same time, you can represent a very specific phenomenon But now many people will get rid of seniority, because many people think it's a bit tacky to name their children with seniority. Nowadays, people pay attention to poetic and moral names, and there is no seniority.

Because of aesthetic reasons, many people are reluctant to choose their names by seniority, because of the changes of the times. They looked familiar, so everyone gradually gave up the tradition of the past. Although there is clan culture, many people may gradually lose their names and have gradually faded. Nowadays, many people name their children according to their constellations. Perhaps the fortune teller can figure out the meaning of the baby's birthday or name and give the child a meaningful name.
