古人的名字,是“名”和“字”的合称,古人有“名”有“字”,“名”一般指人的姓名,或单指名;“字”又称为表字。二者既有区别,不可混为一谈,同时又有着密切的联系。但是,人们在古书阅读中,对于遇到的大量古人的“名”和“字”,往往容易忽略。如果我们对古人“名”、“字”进行认真分析、研究,不难发现其中有许多值得提 The name of the ancients is the combined name of “name” and “word”. The ancients have “name” and “word”. Generally speaking, “name” generally refers to a person’s name or single name; “character” is also called a table character. There are differences between the two, they cannot be confused and they have close connections. However, in the reading of ancient books, people often overlooked the “names” and “words” of ancient people. If we carefully analyze and study the ancient names and characters, it is not difficult to find many worth mentioning.
