Qin unified China and created basic political system for China since AD 26. This system running to 20th century. Until it breaked by the Chairman Mao. You can imagine how big and how stable the old system which running for about 2000 years. Mao had to launch revolutions again and again to fight with it. The revolution shaped society, also effected name rules. Early 50s, the first one is 'Land Reform' which confiscated land from landlord and gave it to farmers. All of China farmers benifited from this policy except original landowners. Many newborn babies named “TuGai” for souvenir that time, it means land reform. At the same period, the Korean war broke out, China had to fighting with other 20 countries. Chinese people showed their atitude that they absolutely support the red goverment. Many newborn babies named 'YuanChao'. Means help North Korean. For example, the former vice president liyuanchao who retired 3 years ago. Next, in period 60s to 70s, main social events in China were 'cultrual Revolution' and hostile with the Soviet Union. Many interesting names appeared,like: 'wenge' means cultrual revolution, this name very direct. 'hongwei' means guard our red goverment; 'zhanbei' means do prepare for fighting with enmies especially the Soviet Union; ‘fandi’ means anti the US. Parents who dare to take a very tranditional name for newborn baby would be thought of as pretty ignorant, seems like they did not support revolution, seems like they did not catch up the trends. By the 80s, China started to learn West, the society became more capitalistic.Many tv-shows and films were imported from HongKong, from Taiwan. Young parents were captivated by the modern rich life that described on TV. So the name that sounds like TV protagonists became very populer. This situation continues to later 90s. Next, we came to twenty-first century. Modern people want to be unique. But the problems is that how to use 2-3 characters for 1400000000 person. Too many namesakes. So, many strange ideas adopted by new parents. One of new father want to name his son as zhaoC, of course , he was refused by police official because the computer system of police has not C for name field. Another intersting name is 禤靐龘. This poor little guy comes from HK. Can any one read it? Even the Chinese literature PhD can not read it without help of Baidu.
