Zhong Sheng: To interpret the naming theory of Zhouyi, why did you choose the naming of Zhouyi?

1. How much do you know about name culture?

As we all know, "Zhou Wuwang's former grandson" comes from the "surname" of the Chinese nation, which originated from the matriarchal clan system in primitive society and was related to the totem worship of our ancestors. "Shi" is a derivative of surname, which originated from patriarchal society and is the title of ancient aristocratic family symbol system. The "surname" in our daily life is not the same concept as the original surname, which includes both "surname" and "surname".

In ancient times, in addition to surnames and first names, there were words and numbers. Names are used to distinguish each other, and words are used to express virtues. For example, Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was famous for his vernacular Chinese. "Hao" is mostly used by literati and artists. Because Li Bai was born in Qinglian Township, he was named Qinglian layman. In addition to self-styled, there are others that are respected by the world, such as; Guiguzi Xuanweizi, Zhuge Liang Wolong, Su Shi Dongpo Jushi, Li Qingzhao Yi 'an Jushi, Tao Yuanming Wuliu, etc. There are posthumous title and nicknames, Black Cyclone jy, Leopard Head Lin Chong, Flower Monk Lu, and Langli White Stripe Zhang Shun. Besides words and numbers, there are scientific names, posthumous title, nicknames and birth names. Modern people have developed their birth names, stage names, scientific names and pen names on the basis of the ancients. Cha's pen name is Jin Yong.

Zuo Zhuan recorded such a story. Lu Huangong gave birth to a child and decided to name his son, so he found a minister named Shen Gui to discuss. Shen Gui told Lu Huangong the principle of naming: "There are five names: faith, righteousness, image, emptiness and category." Naming should be based on the principles of faith, righteousness, image, falsehood and classification. China has attached great importance to naming people since ancient times. Since the Zhou Dynasty, naming has been incorporated into etiquette and formed a system. Later, under the influence of Confucius' thought of "correcting the name", people regarded the naming of later generations as more sacred and a part of China's traditional culture.

Second, the naming method

The ancients had many names in their lives, and each name had different uses and meanings, but no matter which one, the ancients were very cautious in naming. Let me introduce the naming methods that have been popular for a long time in history, which is of great reference value to our naming.

1, expected naming method

Expectation: noble character, profound knowledge, good health, successful career and peace.

Example: Jay Chou, the word Jie is a word that parents expect to be named, which represents the hope that their children can become outstanding talents. Jay Chou lived up to expectations and became an outstanding figure in China pop music.

Step 2 commemorate the date of birth

Birth season, solar terms, month and time.

For example, stars like Han Geng and Lu Gengxu can also be based on their zodiac signs, such as people born in the Year of the Tiger, or numbers, such as people born in 2000.

3, named after natural things

Tao, Hai, Feng, Mei and Lan

Such as Tamia Liu and Nicholas Tse.

4. Named after the place of birth and ancestral home.

Jingsheng, Hu Sheng and Jackie Chan (Chen Gangsheng)

5. Learn from poems and songs.

Meng Haoran: I am good at cultivating my noble spirit in Mencius.

6. Borrow idioms to conceive naming method.

A promise as good as a thousand dollars, Pengcheng: ten thousand.

For example: Star Kenny Lin-Vientiane Update

7. Use ready-made word nomenclature

Direction, security and tranquility

8: Name Generation

Han Yu, the leader of the eight masters in the Tang and Song Dynasties, compiled the Genealogy of Han Wengong, which established Han Wan as the ancestor and established the word generation for future generations, calling it "the first genealogy of Han's family".

Tian Tongpu: The ancestors of four families (Confucius, Mencius, Zeng and Yan) can be traced back to (the first saint), Mencius (the second saint), Zeng Shen (the third saint) and Yan Hui (the second saint) respectively. "Cheng, yan, xing), Zhao Xianqing.

This naming method has great limitations. First, because there must be a word generation in the name, you can only use double names, not single names. Second, it is easy to cause duplicate names.

Third, the interpretation of Zhouyi's naming theory, why choose Zhouyi to name?

As one of the oldest disciplines in China, Zhouyi is both ancient and mysterious. Many times people think of Zhouyi when they mention names. In China, there is a discipline that originated from Zhouyi, called Zhouyi Naming, which is specially used to help people choose names. So what is the specific connection between Zhouyi and the name?

Nomenclatology points out that a name is not only a simple symbol representing a person's address, but also combines the universal holographic law of the Book of Changes, which implies people through the induction of the five-element magnetic field generated by the name and the unique information of Chinese characters, thus affecting many aspects of people's lives. The naming of Zhouyi can achieve the goal of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

Usually, everyone knows that the name should be auspicious, so if someone says that it is good to name professors and scholars and consult various dictionaries and ancient books, isn't it? From the perspective of holographic naming, it is by no means so simple to have a lucky name.

Traditional naming usually only pays attention to the meaning and source of words, while the naming of Zhouyi is based on personal birthdates and the principle of Zhouyi, which pays more attention to the relationship between Yin and Yang and the five elements and numerology. This is the biggest difference between the two. Once a person's date of birth is missing, it will affect the future fortune development of the Lord. The biggest advantage of Zhouyi's naming is that it can supplement the needs of the five elements in the eight characters, and can judge the likes and dislikes of using God, so that the names taken out can help the Lord's future fortune to some extent. In addition, naming according to Zhouyi can also balance yin and yang, thus playing the role of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

Now the most commonly used name is Zhouyi, which is a numerology with comprehensive concepts of mathematics, yin and yang, five elements, psychology, sociology, history, philosophy and natural science. It is a science developed from the Book of Changes in China's ancient philosophy. A name is a group of symbols, and the name of Zhouyi is a knowledge to analyze the meaning and quality of the symbols that make up this name. The naming of Zhouyi belongs to the branch of Zhouyi, which is a new faction derived from the image number theory of Zhouyi. It is profound and has a long history, and it is a named art.

Fourth, summary.

According to the theory of jurisprudence, a good name will benefit you for life, and a bad name will make you regret it for life. When the ancients named their names, figures or numbers, they all had the expectations and blessings of the namers. When we name our children and rename ourselves, we should combine China's traditional naming method with modern naming method, Chinese character culture, good or bad mathematics, harmony between Yin and Yang, five elements, phonological implication, and the innate eight-character numerology between me and the western gods.

Learn and use the Book of Changes of Names Culture, interpret the name of the Book of Changes, and give yourself a name that suits your numerology, work and family characteristics, so as to make up for the congenital deficiency, highlight the success of your career, highlight the advantages of famous families and enhance your cultural accomplishment.
