He didn't have the pressure of life, and he didn't need to show off his talents to get any status.

Since he was born to stand at an absolute height, what he needed to do the most was to put the preferences of the person who created this height first.

Other than that, there was another crucial point. He was not even a year old yet. He could show some intelligence, but he could not be too unconventional.

After all, that would really attract a lot of attention, and there would be more eyes around.

In this way, he was afraid that all his words, actions, clothes, food, accommodation, and transportation would be known by people with ill intentions. This was not worth it for him.

Therefore, Ying Wei's current behavior was not much different from a normal human cub.

However, it was a maxed out cub. It spoke and walked faster than ordinary cubs.

Qin Shi Huang carried Ying Wei and asked as he walked,""Little fellow, how about I give you a name?”

Ying Wei didn't respond to this. He just hugged Qin Shi Huang and smiled.

He knew that the other party was not asking for his opinion at all.

It was just as he thought.

In fact, Qin Shi Huang had long wanted to give this little fellow a name.

He didn't go to see her when she was one month old.

Although he didn't think much of it at that time, now that the two of them were together day and night, he felt that he had mistreated the little fellow.

Now that it was almost the little fellow's first birthday, it would be unreasonable if he did not give her something.

Speaking of names, he had thought about it a lot these days, but for some reason, he could not make up his mind.

Logically speaking, he should not have decided on the little fellow's name at this time.

In ancient times, because the living conditions of ordinary people in society were relatively difficult, or because their families were poor, or because the social medical conditions were not good, many children died early as soon as they were born. The survival rate was 60 - 70%.

Therefore, people habitually gave children some lowly names, implying that children were easy to raise and could be physically strong and live to adulthood.

Therefore, it was normal for a newborn child to not have a name.

Even so, it did not mean that a child who was one year old could have his own name.

In fact, in order to let children grow up safely, the ancients usually gave children nicknames when they were two or three years old to make it easier to distinguish them.

And because of the simple mentality of having a cheap name, most of the children's nicknames at this time were easy to understand.

They would only get their real names when the children were three years old.

Only when one was seven or eight years old would they have a relatively official name and be recorded in the family tree.

After that, when they were crowned, they would be given a name by an elder or a teacher. From then on, they would become a legally recognized existence registered in the family and the government.

Speaking of which, Ying Wei was surprised when he learned about this historical origin.

However, he soon felt relieved.

It couldn't be helped. According to the probability of premature death of infants in ancient times, it was not surprising that ancient people had such behavior.

After all, you put in a lot of effort and feelings when the child was born. When the child was accidentally lost, you would be so sad.

Therefore, the people of this dynasty never dared to put too much emotion into a baby, but because of their blood relationship, they all hoped that this child could grow up safely and healthily!

That was why there was such a seemingly cold and heartless custom, but in fact, it was filled with beautiful expectations and yearning for their children.

To put it bluntly, this idea was because the people of this dynasty generally believed that children were easily harmed by the outside world and were more vulnerable to the teasing of ghosts and evil spirits.

That was why he chose to give the child a bad or despicable name to arouse the hatred of the ghosts and evil spirits. Without the invasion of ghosts and spirits, the child would be easy to raise.

Although this idea was unreasonable, they simply wanted to use this method to keep their children alive from the evil spirit!

When the child was three years old, not only did he pass the most difficult period, but he could also understand the language. At this time, the adults could give him a name full of meaning!

When he was eight or nine years old, it was time to bring him to the clan to let the elders and ancestors see him. After obtaining the clan's recognition, he would successfully be recorded in the genealogy.

When the crowning ceremony was held, this child would be considered an adult. He would be an indispensable part of the family and might even be the pillar of the family in the future!

The seemingly casual distance from before was just a form of protection to prevent the child from dying prematurely for various reasons.

It was the silent anticipation of adults who hid their love for their children!

At this moment, the reason why the First Emperor could not make up his mind was because other than writing a few nicknames for the little fellow, he also wrote a few meaningful names!

Looking at the six strange names on the paper, Ying Wei was stunned.

"Dog","Pig","Young Slave"

this

Were these three names really not insulting?

Although it was said that a lowly reputation was easy to support, please forgive Ying Wei for not being able to accept it!!!

Of course, he knew that even though these three words did not sound good in Great Qin, they were the best things to look forward to for a child.

Take the word " dog " for example. It was the same as " cautious " and did not have any bad meaning." Dog " was a well-known word that meant dog.

In ancient times, this dog symbolized loyalty, understanding humanity, good luck, nobility, companionship, love, righteousness, loyalty, foreboding good or bad luck, warding off evil spirits, and so on.

Also, the word "zhu" was the same as "zhu", which meant pig.

In Great Qin, pigs were not a curse but a symbol of family, courage, and wealth.

Pig " originally represented the wealth of a tribe and a family. It was the standard to measure wealth.

As early as 10,000 years ago, the Hongshan culture (now Chifeng, Inner Mongolia) used pigs as their totem. The "pig dragon head" that was unearthed there was known as the "number one dragon in the world", and it was also the earliest "descendant of the dragon".

There was also " Zhi Nu," which meant pheasant. In ancient times, pheasants were also a symbol of beauty. As for " Nu," although it looked like a curse, it was also a form of endearment. Only those who were extremely close to each other could not be called that.

The three names that the First Emperor gave him could not be said to be without care.

But the problem was that Ying Wei really didn't want to be called around like an animal.

but the reality is

"Che""Wei""Yao"

These three words were obvious names, including his own name.

It had to be said that these were three names that moved people.

But Ying Wei knew that it was not a choice he could make.
