In this paper,a database of Chinese celebrities'names with a scale of more than 110,000 entries is constructed.Each data contains social and cultural labels such as names,gender,and birthplace,as well as Chinese character information labels such as Pinyin,strokes and character components,which is the largest known database of Chinese real people's names that can be used for research.Based on this database,this paper selects names from 1919 to the present and uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to explore Chinese names in character characteristics,gender differences,and diachronic changes.Through research,it is found that the average number of Chinese characters in women's names is higher than that of men.The Chinese characters in female names are more complicated but lower richness than that of males.The use of personal names has become more monotonous and centralized with time.The imagery of Chinese characters used in the names of the two sexes is obviously different.The imagery of the characters changes over time,but the most obvious time point for the change is around the reform and opening up,in which the change of women is more significant than that of men.Besides,we also obtained the gender polarity characters table of the names,high-frequency characters table of each stage,characters change trend table,etc.
