Su Pu Sheng

(a.) The most interesting part I found in the article was mainly about how the double barrel works. I’m always wondering of how western name was given, and this article gives information of how the name was given. I’m interested of the combination of both parents’ name. Moreover, the aspect of six main categories for the surname was interesting as well. By Parental names, Nicknames, Place names, Topographical names, Occupational names, Officerial names.

(b.) My first name is Pu Sheng, Family name is Su. Being a traditional Chinese, name plays an impotant roll for a person. When I was a child, my name was Su Chong ren, which it means being compassion and honest. However, my parent decided to change my name to Su Pu Sheng. Pu Sheng is a type of instrument in China; people said that by listening to it, it’ll bring peacefulness to the surrounding. My family name is SU, it’s basically from the ancestor.
