“朱雀玄武敕令”改名之争的背后
Core Viewpoint - The recent case of a young man in Hunan applying to change his name to a 48-character long name has sparked public debate about the appropriateness and cultural implications of name changes in China [1][2]. Group 1: Name Change Regulations - Name changes must comply with relevant laws and cultural traditions, as individuals have the right to decide and change their names but cannot violate public order and morals [1][2]. - The concept of "public order and morals" is somewhat controversial, allowing for further discussion on what constitutes acceptable name changes [1][2]. Group 2: Cultural Significance of Names - Names serve as cultural symbols and should align with traditional naming ethics; the importance of "correct naming" is emphasized in traditional culture, affecting social identity and recognition [2][3]. - The trend of giving children grandiose names can impose undue pressure and may not be well-received by society, highlighting the need for names to be meaningful and culturally appropriate [2][3]. Group 3: Public Perception and Acceptance - The names "Zhuque Xuanwu Chiling" and "Zhou Tian Ziwei Dadi" are seen as overly grand for ordinary individuals, reflecting a cultural belief that names should not be excessively extravagant [3][4]. - There is a distinction between names used in virtual contexts, such as gaming, which are often accepted, and real-life names that carry legal and cultural weight, indicating a need for careful consideration in name changes [3][4].
