Chapter 385: Tell Qi Guanxiong about his life experience
"Brother-in-law?" Although Confucius has already expressed his position, Da Nizi is still not at ease, afraid that it will be inconvenient for Confucius to say it directly. So! Follow-up asked: "Mr. Min's name?" Really good? ”
Since you were asked to be a staff officer, you have to be responsible. Since I asked you to be a staff officer, I can ask you directly! If you just say it's good, you're fooling people! What's so good? You'll have to give me a reason. Don't! Isn't there any drawback?
"This?" When Confucius saw that Da Nizi was so direct, he immediately lowered his head.
Although he said yes, but he didn't? To save face for Mr. Min? Cheerleading for Mr. Min? Everyone is not applauding, so don't you make Mr. feel embarrassed and lose face? Isn't it?
For Confucius, applauding Mr. Min is not the same as flattering, but out of courtesy! It's not to fool Da Nizi and Lege and Wolf Sister.
That's not what it means! The applause for Mr. Min is completely aimed at Mr. Min and has nothing to do with the main family. If you think this is his all-round attitude, then! You're misunderstood.
So! When Da Nizi asked him, he thought Da Nizi was too direct, but he felt that it was reasonable for people to ask.
In fact! You can be direct, but not so direct. You can be tactful, so that you can give me face and Mr. Min face. Isn't that the reason?
"Brother-in-law?" When the wolf sister saw that Da Nizi asked, she also hurriedly helped.
Seeing that Da Nizi was so direct, Le Ge looked at her. I thought: That's how the descendants of the merchants are! So straightforward! Confucius and Min Shigong were embarrassed to ask: Are the two singing double reeds?
It's true! When you ask this, those simple-minded people don't think that the two of them sing double reeds when they hear it? Min Shigong performed in the front, and Confucius helped in the back. Isn't it?
Da Nizi didn't care what others thought of her, anyway, the words had already been asked, so she simply looked at Confucius and waited for Confucius to answer.
Confucius snorted and saw that everyone was looking at him. Especially Qi Guan, who looked at him with great concern, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Although Qi Guanshi did not speak, he did not urge him. But he felt it: Qi Guan's family was as anxious as Da Nizi and Wolf Sister, and more anxious than Lege.
She doesn't care about the music, the name is given to Xiaowa, it is given to her maiden nephew, and it is directly related to her. No! It's about my mother's family.
"Mr. Min's name is really good! Mr. Min has also explained just now, so! I don't need to explain any more. Since you all asked, since I was invited by you to be a staff officer, then I will go directly! ”
Confucius said, looking at Da Nizi. And then! He looked at the wolf sister and the Qi Guan's family again.
"Just say it!" Da Nizi urged.
"Brother-in-law, you say!" The wolf sister also urged anxiously.
Qi Guan looked at him and did not speak. It could be seen from her eyes that she was urging as well.
"These two names given by Mr. Min are absolutely good! Absolutely no problem. You want me to say? I think? That's all I can say! No matter how good a name is, sometimes it doesn't count! Confucius said, looking at Da Nizi.
"Can't count? Brother-in-law? Da Nizi asked puzzled.
"It's not that anything else doesn't count! I can't count when I say it's taboo! Confucius quickly explained.
"Taboo? What taboos? Da Nizi was even more puzzled and asked.
When Sister Wolf and Qi Guanshi heard this, they were so anxious that they couldn't do it.
"Taboo! It can't be the same as the name of the Son of Heaven and the King! That's what I mean! Or! It is very likely that there is something similar to the name of the Son of Heaven and someone from the king's family! I'm going to force you to change your name in the future! ……”
"Why?" The wolf sister is an anxious child, and after listening to it, she couldn't stand it on the spot, and asked.
Confucius quickly explained: "I'm for example! Didn't you just ask me to say it? I mean! These two names given by Mr. Min are really good! It's not that I'm flattering Mr. Min, it's true! And what about taboos? Who knows when it will be committed? Isn't it? If? ”
"What if?"
"What if! Later, the Son of Heaven changed, didn't he? If the name of the Son of Heaven has the word 'Ying' or 'Jane', he may commit a taboo. If the Son of Heaven knew, he would force you to change! No! The following pleasers, they will force you to change. And also! Don't you dare to do it yourself? It has to be changed! Isn't it? ”
"It's too domineering!" The wolf sister said indignantly.
"The same is true of kings? Your name cannot be the same as the king's name. Otherwise! It's a taboo! ”
"This?"
"Mr. Min's name is naturally taken into account in mind, and he will not be taboo with the name of today's son, nor will he be taboo with the name of the king of Lu. But? Who knows who the Son of Heaven and the King will be? What are their names? Isn't it? ”
"This? Kill me too! The wolf sister was angry and said, "It's too domineering! ”
"And that's not all!" Min Shigong saw that Confucius was really good at picking thorns, not only was he not angry, but on the contrary, he was very satisfied. Then he said: "If you go to another vassal country, if your name is similar to the king's, the inn may not dare to let you stay!" It's true! ”
"This? Is there anything else going on? Le Ge asked on the side.
He really didn't seriously study the taboo in this regard. As a person in modern society, where would you pay attention to these trite things?
But the ancients were different, huh? People are very particular about this.
Not to mention in ancient times, even in the rural areas of modern society, there are still special attention to this aspect. The names of children and grandchildren cannot be the same as those of elders within three generations! Although there is a "seniority" under the surname, the words in front of it will not be the same. But! There is such an unwritten rule that the same family cannot be the same word within three generations.
If you have the same name as the elders of other families, if the other family is strong, they will force you to change your name. If your family is strong, you can avoid other people's demands.
"Yes! I've seen it! Your name is taboo, others don't care about 3721, they will beat you first! It's true! You don't know why you've been beaten by someone else? I found out later! It's because your name is the same or similar to someone else's name! Min Shigong said very seriously.
"Also? And what's going on? This one? ”
"So! I give people names, and I pay attention to them! You have gone to a strange country, you must inquire about the name of the king of this country, or! Aristocracy by their name. Or! What the name of the elder! Not a deliberate inquiry! But! Ask them? Does this name have the same name as someone else's name or something? ”
"Thank you, sir!" Confucius saw that Mr. Min Shigong Min was talking about the "experience of naming names", and hurriedly thanked him.
