中华文明传统文化上下五千年,对名字的影响更是源远流长。一个人带着名字进入社会活动,并使之起到代表而与他人相区别的实际作用,这是姓名最本真的存在方式。然而,除了姓名,一些街名也有着其独特的内涵和作用,更多的是为了吸引到人们的关注。近几年,很多街名、路名、也都越来越有特色,越来越有内涵。文化与名字有着不可分割的联系,名字的功能更是与文化内涵有着千丝万缕的关联,而这些关联正是影响人们对一个人或者一个具体名词看法的重要因素之一。对于街名、路名而言,东西南北交错的如网状的城市街道、路巷,不仅是人们出行的道路,而且它还承载着城市的历史与文化。一条条街道,路巷,如同一张城市名片,汇集起来就彰显出这座城市的文化底蕴与地域特点。因此,街道命名应根据这座城市的地域特点、人文历史、发展文化,选择有意义的名字来命名。因此,以锦州市的部分街名为例,就“命名的文化内涵与功能探析”这一命题作出一定的调查,并通过对调查结果的分析总结形成一定的理论体系。 Chinese civilization, the traditional culture of the next five thousand years, the impact of the name is a long history. The actual role of a person entering a social activity with a name and distinguishing it from others is the most authentic form of existence of a name. However, in addition to their names, some street names also have their unique connotations and functions, and more are intended to attract people’s attention. In recent years, many street names, road names, are also increasingly distinctive, more and more connotation. Culture and name are inextricably linked. The function of the name is inextricably linked with the cultural connotation, and these connections are one of the important factors that affect people’s perception of a person or a specific noun. For the street names, road names, the east-west intertwined network of city streets, lanes, not only people travel the road, but it also carries the city’s history and culture. A street, road and lane, as a city card, brought together to highlight the city’s cultural heritage and geographical features. Therefore, the street name should be based on the geographical features of the city, cultural history, development of culture, choose meaningful names to name. Therefore, taking some street names of Jinzhou City as an example, we make some investigations on the proposition of “cultural connotation and function of naming ”, and form a certain theoretical system through the analysis of the survey results.
