古代文化知识，8大类100个知识点

　　一、人的称谓

　　【直称姓名】大致有三种情况：(1)自称姓名或名。如：“五步之内，相如请得以颈血溅大王矣。”(2)用于介绍或作传。如：“遂与鲁肃俱诣孙权”“柳敬亭者，扬之泰州人。”(3)称所厌恶、所轻视的人。如：“不幸吕师孟构恶于前，贾余庆献谄于后。”

　　【称字】古人幼时命名，成年(男20岁、女15岁)取字，字和名有意义上的联系。字是为了便于他人称谓，对平辈或尊辈称字出于礼貌和尊敬。如称屈平为屈原，司马迁为司马子长，陶渊明为陶元亮，李白为李太白，杜甫为杜子美，韩愈为韩退之，柳宗元为柳子厚，欧阳修为欧阳永叔。

　　【称号】号又叫别号、表号。名、字与号的根本区别是：前者由父亲或尊长取定，后者由自己取定。号，一般只用于自称，以显示某种志趣或抒发某种情感;对人称号也是一种敬称。如，陶潜号五柳先生。

　　【称谥号】古代王侯将相、高级官吏、著名文士等死后由官方所追加的称号叫谥号，非官方所加叫私谥。如称陶渊明为靖节，就是他死后朋友所谥。官方所加，如欧阳修为欧阳文忠公，王安石为王文公，范仲淹为范文正公，王翱为王忠肃公，左光斗为左忠毅
