A popular saying goes: “While sitting on the seat (or staying at the homeland), one never changes one’s surname; while walking on the road (or traveling abroad), one never changes one’s given name.” To the Chinese, a kind of sacredness lies so definitely in everyone’s name. The surname signifies the continuity of his lineage, whereas the personal name ming signifies blessings bestowed by the parents. A model gentleman of Chinese gentry, jun zi, means a person who conscientiously devotes himself to a virtuous and candid life so as symbolically not only to keep his name from being detained but also to glorify his parents as well as the lineage ancestors. To our surprise, however, the Chinese of traditional elite gentry would adopt, in addition, a courtesy name, zi, at the age of twenty. To avoid deviating from the sense of filial piety, the meaning of this courtesy name must evoke a response to that of the primary personal name. The present paper will thus focus on the strategic naming of zi as ingenious responses to ming, which discloses the most astonishingly wonderful wisdom in the art of Chinese naming. In the first place, we must understand that the need of zi cannot be separated from the address etiquette with which the Chinese of traditional hierarchical society were greatly concerned. As a member of mature elites, one needed to address each other by zi to show a gesture of courtesy. In contrast, one was obliged to address himself by ming as an attitude of humility. Without this naming tradition of ming and zi nowadays, we have abandoned altogether the traditional socialization of etiquette. This lamentable fact, I believe, gives rise to the present-day somewhat chaotic social phenomena, whether among the adults or among the adolescents. This paper is aimed to call attention to the significance embodied in the cultural heritage of naming zi as a response to ming. Through historical evidence, I will investigate how ming and zi are composed both by certain conventional rules and by their mutual syntactical logics. Surely I will not ignore the way how ming and zi are respectively used in daily life with certain restrained taboos. At last, I will give some marvelous examples to show how this art of naming zi is achieved as tactful responses to ming. This 168 paper will end up with an urgent expectation that by reviving this age-old tradition of naming zi as a courtesy address of ming, we may create a harmonious society in which people are capably alert to respect each other. Keywords: the Chinese of traditional hierarchical society, ming (the primary personal name), zi (the courtesy name), naming zi as a response to ming. 169 ƠƠ+ɚ+ɚ þDΚ ǭʄu²ϐ̋ϣ¹ ΢ñ ϖķΩ) ̃Ňζ οNƱôźñǠʽL¬ô NJu²ƱÌ ¬H΄ƉȚƱHíƱß ΩÌŎ>ŸźñDΚLûΩ΢ ʙ²IΟjʍƉþƉ˖ʮʚ úĴř ôΩΈȖάŖɍ$Ʊɡ~þȩɊ͘ ˆôL~ ɃŮϜď ćBɃĮƉ řŮϜºȋñƯΫΩ© ɃiǠʽʙˬƼ̠þPʃʃ Ɠ̤ć4@Ǡ5ϥ Ĵ IΟΩôďǠćƱļƬǦģǪDΟýΩ&ĽZ&ƍƱjΩô Ȗďźñ̨ ˩˩ˆôϜďȖĹǠ0ͼˆôϜďȖĹǠ0ͼ ,ʮ̦-0_.143«,L 8Ϊ3Lk# ?ŎôL50Ĭʮ1 4ɂ3 'Ŏď23Ģʹ ᚇŎď50'`14>'ŎďL ģLÐ $50ƕD14ô 'ď ˄Ð$5,ʚʮ-0Ƅ͒143«, .8 ôL50/'ʮ14'ŎďL Ϋʙô$5ĵ²jϜIřͅˆôȖϜďΩ̦ É iɘIΟřͅôďΩƉ˖¯ʈ>" ̤ćˆô Ɠ²«,ˆʙôñǾ̤Ǡλ$̤ćϜď Ɠ²ȗ'L šɠ|)Ϝʙďͅ~ñ̤ķǠλ$,ʮ̦ƕD-̤ć4ô'ď5 Á Ò,¯-4ôHôφ«řɌô HiƉ ªˠ«,Ŏ[ô ªOô$ 'ďλ ě Įñ8LÐ ͓ʃ΢Hiǂʽʙô ª'Ŏ[ď5φ ɚL X«Įˆôʮ ȗ'[ď Ǡź4ďʮ5 iHĞź²Ëijˆôʮ ʙ ̤ƉHɽͅX«ˆôʮ¯Ĵiɘˆô̤H̎Ĵ Ϝď̤H͌Ưʪ !ɚ3λ iHƻɂ2úñřέ««ˆΩʮĜȖȂ ʙ8̠²ϧϘǬ ζǺƨƨΩΌȖǞPάμ̬ÿˆôȗ'L ȋñʺϧLΩǫO qfʚ ɫ˥ ͘ ϧϘiǠLΩôL~ ̃u˸ǠLΩďHºΫƉ ̤HƱĮϜď LȈŗͅ23 ̌ĮďěR²ģLě >ĢʹƱiHᚇŎďHʆǠ ʽ sź4ď5ŎĢʹλƱsź4ď5̠4ď5̤ć4ďɷI5 Ʊ² Ǡ23˰ĮηǾLΈ Ģΐ,Ʌ&-4ď ɺ$5Ô§˒,ͱ-4ďλ ɚƩɺŎɶą$5̤ HďĮ«ɓƩ«LΈjΩďƓ¯ô«ɓƩ«Ŏʈ ̤HřôĮϜź ͌R±Ωź¬ ƱʙĜQϜེŎɚ iHǠñϜď,³ϙķˡô- ̤ć4̠ŨʙôŎñLďλ ȊôƓέʙď ȊďƓέʙô5²$t~ ď 170 ̤ŮɯΩ²ôΩ̜φˁƮ` ƱʙĜQˎŎɚ iHǠñϜ˚íɌ̤ć 4̤HĮďŮ'˚͌\ Ϋģ$5,̉4Ǿ̭ƕq-̤ć4jλ ô Hß ďHϜ˚5²$,ϧV-,ˋ̦-Åć4'ŎĮď ̤HƯ ʙô$ôģGʮ ďʁGô5iɘôȖďλ̎ĴΩ2ĜƀΚοHi ÿjNôˁďΩŬǠʽ $²ñ ϜºƯΫɕm0Ϝď̌ʯ1& ̤ź ʙ0ǟͼĮʗǟ ΁ Ëǟ ΁²ÿÛˋɄȂ ôˁďĹǠɄŮÛď ôč8į 3 ǒΟ`@˂ 8²ď į²ô ˡñbǺʰQĹ 3L8 ʰQ²ď Ĺ ²ô ˡñ˧͌˖ ŅɲǬL3 ˧͌²ď ˖²ô ˡñŅɲţ%Ĕ ࢢʰL3 ţ%²ď Ĕ²ô ˡñࢢ³?

Linguistic composition and characteristics of Chinese given names Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss various linguistic and cultural aspect of personal naming in China. In Chinese civilization, personal names, especially given names, were considered crucial for a person’s fate and achievements. The more important the position of a person, the more various categories of names the person received. Chinese naming practices do not restrict the inventory of possible given names, i.e. given names are formed individually, mainly as a result of a process of onymisation, and given names are predominantly semantically transparent. Therefore, given names seem to be well suited for a study of stereotyped cultural expectations present in Chinese society. The paper deals with numerous subdivisions within the superordinate category of personal name, as the subclasses of surname and given name. It presents various subcategories of names that have been used throughout Chinese history, their linguistic characteristics, their period of origin, and their cultural or social functions.

  • Names of Chinese People in Singapore

The names also reflect the beliefs and religion of Singapore Chinese. More significantly, a change of identity and representation is reflected in the names of earlier settlers and Singapore Chinese today. This paper aims to show the general naming traditions of Chinese in Singapore as well as a change in ideology and trends due to globalization. Keywords Singapore, Chinese, names, identity, beliefs, globalization. 1. Introduction When parents choose a name for a child, the name necessarily reflects their thoughts and aspirations with regards to the child. These thoughts and aspirations are shaped by the historical, social, cultural or spiritual setting of the time and place they are living in whether or not they are aware of them. Thus, the study of names is an important window through which one could view how these parents prefer their children to be perceived by society at large, according to the identities, roles, values, hierarchies or expectations constructed within a social space.

  • Anglicize Your Asian Name
    SUPPLEMENTARY READING FOR BP TOPIC: Anglicize your Asian name LearningLeaders – All Rights Reserved - 8/5/17 1 ARTICLE 1 HOW CHINESE PEOPLE MAKE WESTERN NAMES FOR THEMSELVES When English learners combine foreign language proficiency with traditional naming practices, the results can be unexpected. November 8, 1016 One of the quirkier aspects of Chinese popular culture today is the practice of choosing Western names, usually those common to English- speaking nations. Indeed, readers may even have enjoyed a laugh at the expense of a Chinese friend with an unusual name, such as Seven, Strong, or Cupid. An obvious interpretation of naming practices claims that having a Western name makes it easier for a Chinese person to navigate cross- cultural interactions. This would explain why more and more people have adopted an English name since the late 1970s, when China began its policies of reform and opening up. While this assertion is true in part, it fails to explain why other globalizing countries do not partake as widely in such a phenomenon. Why do, say, the Japanese or Koreans not take English names? An alternative explanation views the enthusiasm for English names as a manifestation of a more general admiration for the West. In many developing countries, the West is often highly regarded for its level of modernization and political power. As Western culture permeates the developing world, people see changing their names as a way to emulate or share in this success. However, in my opinion, what both of these interpretations ignore is rich naming tradition. After all, when Chinese people take English names, they do not give up their birth names; the new name becomes merely an additional moniker.

  • “The Chinese Sexagenary Cycle and the Ritual Origins of the Calendar
    “The Chinese Sexagenary Cycle and the Ritual Origins of the Calendar,” in Calendars and Years II: Astronomy and Time in the Ancient and Medieval World, edited by John M. Steele. Oxford: Oxbow Books, 2010. Uncorrected proof. Citations and pagination should be given according to the print version. The Chinese Sexagenary Cycle and the Ritual Foundations of the Calendar Adam Smith From the earliest appearance of literacy in East Asia, around 1250 BC, there is evidence of the routine use of a system for recording dates using cycles of named days. The more fun- damental of these consists of ten terms and will be referred to here as the ‘10-cycle’ (table 1). By running the 10-cycle concurrently with a second cycle twelve days in length, the ‘12-cycle’ (table 2), a longer cycle of sixty days is generated, sixty being the lowest com- mon multiple of ten and twelve. We will refer to this compound cycle as the ‘60-cycle’.1 At the time of their first attestation, the day was the only unit of time that the three cycles were used to record.2 Days within these cycles will be referred to in this chapter with the formulae n/60, n/10 and n/12. So, for example, 3/10 refers to the third day of the 10-cycle. There are many ways of visualizing the compound 60-cycle.3 A comparativist might think of it as a pair of toothed wheels engaged with one another (figure 1), by analogy with the representations of the Mesoamerican Tzolk’in cycle, with which the Chinese 60-cycle has certain similarities.

  • POLICIES for CATALOGING CHINESE MATERIAL: SUPPLEMENT to the CHINESE ROMANIZATION GUIDELINES Revised September 22, 2004
    ROMANIZATION POLICIES FOR CATALOGING CHINESE MATERIAL: SUPPLEMENT TO THE CHINESE ROMANIZATION GUIDELINES Revised September 22, 2004 This supplement builds on the Chinese romanization guidelines that appear on the Library of Congress pinyin home page (http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/romanization/chinese.pdf). The revision of the Chinese guidelines corresponded with the conversion of Wade-Giles romanization in authority and bibliographic records to pinyin on October 1, 2000. The revised romanization guidelines will replace the Wade-Giles guidelines in the ALA-LC romanization tables when it is next updated. The supplement is intended to help catalogers make certain important distinctions when romanizing Chinese personal and place names. RULES OF APPLICATION Romanization 1. ALA-LC romanization of ideographic characters used for the Chinese language follows the principles of the Pinyin ("spell sound") system. The Pinyin system was developed in the mid 20th century for creating Latin script readings for Chinese script ideographic characters. It replaces the Wade-Giles system of romanization specified in earlier editions of the ALA-LC Romanization Tables. The Pinyin system as outlined in Han yu pin yin fang an 汉语拼音方案 (1962) is followed closely for creating romanizations except that the ALA-LC guidelines do not include the indication of tone marks. 2. Standard Chinese national (PRC) pronunciation is used as the basis for creating the Latin script reading of a character. When it is necessary to make semantic distinctions between multiple readings of a single character, rely upon the usage of the most recent comprehensive edition of Ci hai 辞海 (published in China by Shanghai ci shu chu ban she).

  • Processing of Proper Names in Mandarin Chinese: a Behavioral and Neuroimaging Study
    Processing of Proper Names in Mandarin Chinese: A Behavioral and Neuroimaging Study Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Linguistics and Literary Studies University of Bielefeld by Huei-Ling Yen Thesis supervisors: Prof. Dr. Dr. Horst M. Müller, University of Bielefeld, Germany Prof. Dr. Gert Rickheit, University of Bielefeld, Germany Dr. Chia-Ying Lee, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Bielefeld, November 22, 2006 Acknowledgements While writing the acknowledgements for this dissertation, one of my biggest dreams that I have had since my childhood, is coming true. This dissertation is the product of countless hours of work as well as support without which I would never have made it. I am deeply grateful to all people who have ever made a contribution to this work. I am much indebted to many teachers for their inspiration and supervision. My greatest thanks go to Professor Horst M. Müller. I thank him for his courage and trust, for accepting me as his Ph. D. student, even though he did not know me. I deeply appreciate his patience in guiding me into the experimental world of linguistics. From stimulus preparation to data analysis, his ‘hard training’ made me what I am today – an independent experimental linguist. Moreover, I thank him for realizing many advanced learning opportunities in conferences, workshops and summer institutes. Thanks also go to Professor Gert Rickheit who wrote reference letters for me and supported my research in all respects. Special appreciation goes to Dr. Chia-Ying Lee, who granted me access to an fMRI. I am extremely grateful for her helpful comments and discussions, for teaching me the ‘art’ of the fMRI data processing in detail and for supporting me in every sense.

  • Helps for Reading Chinese Genealogies
    HELPS FOR READING CHINESE GENEALOGIES (Note: While this paper is intended to assist those without Chinese language skills to read Chinese genealogies, the suggestions included below are for those who have at least a basic skill to recognize Chinese characters and distinguish them one from another.) In the history of the Chinese people, there are three important elements that are significant. They are China's history, the local gazetteer, and a clan's genealogy. Among these three elements, genealogy has the longest history and is the most influential. Clan or lineage genealogies constitute the major source material for Chinese family historians and genealogists. Scholars have shown that clan genealogies can be a valuable source for research into Chinese history. Since most genealogies continue into the early or mid twentieth century, a researcher who can connect into a lineage genealogy can often determine their pedigree quickly and accurately back to the 1600s and, typically, much further. The history of written Chinese genealogy goes back to at least the 11th century B.C. Based on the content of the earliest written pedigrees, one can confidently conclude that they were based on pre-existing oral pedigrees. Most extant genealogies, however, were compiled during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) or later. Terms for Chinese Genealogies Chinese genealogies are commonly referred to as: 家譜 (jiāpǔ) – family genealogy record 族譜 (zúpǔ) – clan genealogy record 宗譜 (zōngpǔ) – general genealogy record Other terms for Chinese genealogies include: 房譜 (fángpǔ) 譜錄 (pǔlù) 家記 (jiājī) 世譜 (shìpǔ) 統譜 (tǒngpǔ) 家志 (jiāzhi) 支譜 (zhīpǔ) 通譜 (tōngpǔ) 會譜 (hùipǔ) 分譜 (fènpǔ) 譜牒 (pǔdíe) 牒誌 (díezhì) 譜系 (pǔxì) 玉牒 (yudíe) 譜誌 (pǔzhì) 譜傳 (pǔzhuàn) 家乘 (jiāshèng) 族誌 (zúzhì) Reading Titles of Genealogies 1.
