王献之、王羲之子不避父名渊源考

Study on Name of Son Named after Father s in Sin-Tibetan Language Family

王羲之、王献之父子名中都有“之”字,有悖中国传统的避讳文化,这一现象当源于汉藏语系的父子连名制。父子连名制在春秋时期中原地区还有反映,20世纪40年代大西南的藏缅语族中仍有这种习俗。晋室南渡时位于江南的亦属汉藏语系的部族应当也有这一习俗,晋室大族就受到了他们的这种影响。

There is a same word ＂之＂ in Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi which is diametrically opposed to Chinese traditional customs, Bihui. That is,the names of a son can not use a same word with his father＇s. We think that this phenomenon originated from the customs of son being named after his father＇s in Sino-Tibetan Language Family.
