Zhouyi naming techniques

Naming is a profound and profound study. Naming possesses two meanings: one is traditional Zhou Yi numerology and numerology, and the other is modern aesthetics.

Numerology requires specialized knowledge and is difficult to master. Modern aesthetics should not be ignored, and a good name is not a beautiful name. Here we will talk about the aesthetic aspects outside the numerology, numerology. This is also an important part of the Zhouyi name.

Thousands of dollars are easy to come by, but a good name is hard to find.

What is a good name? In addition to numerology, numerology can be summarized in ten words: new, elegant, subtle, loud, beautiful shape.

Novelty, that is, outstanding, different, unique, not easy to be infringed upon.

Elegant, that is, the view of the respectable, readable, call the lovely, taste delicious, unadulterated.

Subtle, that is, deep meaning, rich in connotation, in line with the virtue of the center.

Loud, that is, pleasant to the ear, smooth, compelling, with a sense of rhythmic beauty.

The beauty of form is that it conforms to the principle of aesthetics, the structure is well-mixed, the strokes are well-proportioned, and it is full of vitality.

Conceptualization

Throughout the ages, literati have enjoyed the use of allusions in their writings and songs. Edom poetry is subtle, elegant, persuasive, expressive, allusion refers to the meaningful stories and words with sources appearing in our country's canonical books, the use of allusion is one of the cultural traditions of our country, and it is also one of the most important ways to improve the cultural and aesthetic quality of the name.

Meng Haoran, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, took his name from "I am good at cultivating my vast natural energy" in Mengzi Gongsun Chou (孟子-公孙丑). Hao Ran Qi refers to the pure, broad and strong temperament, Wen Tianxiang also has a poem, "is the gas is majestic, Rin Ran million ancient existence, when it through the sun and the moon, life and death will be enough to discuss! It's about the spirit of "Ho-yen": "Ho-yen is the righteousness of heaven and earth."

The name of Zheng Banqiao, a famous painter, poet and calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty, comes from Liu Yuxi's "The Branch of the Willow" of the Tang Dynasty: "The spring river is a willow, and twenty years ago the old board bridge was used. I once said goodbye to a beauty on the bridge, and hated that I had no news until today." Borrowing the word "Banqiao" to satirize the world, the name is consistent with the style of its painting, intriguing.

Many famous modern and contemporary literati have also used allusions in their names, which has played a powerful role in promoting the use of this method.

Such as Zhu Ziqing's name from the "Chu rhetoric - Bu play" in the "rather clean and upright to clear themselves"? Indicates that he wants to be a clean and self-respecting person, to clean and upright self-discipline. Indeed, people like their names, Zhu Ziqing life integrity and innocence, especially in his later years of poverty and illness, but rather than starve to death also refused to eat American soldiers from the plane air-dropped flour, to maintain a Chinese people's national integrity and backbone. Another example is Mr. Wangdawen, whose name comes from the Analects of Confucius - Liren: "When one hears of the Way in the morning, one may die in the evening." It means that one should hear the truth in the morning and seek the truth with the spirit of dying. Mr. Chu Tunan's name is from "Zhuangzi - Easy Excitement": the roc flies by the northern darkness. "Jie Yun Qi, responsible for the natural after Tu Nan, and suitable for the South Underworld also." "Tunan" indicates a set ambitious goal.

Xie Bingxin, Shen Bingpu. Ice heart" and "ice pot" are from the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Changling's "Hibiscus Tower Sends Xin Jian": "Friends and relatives in Luoyang ask for a piece of ice heart in a jade pot". Ice heart refers to the crystal white water like ice; "Ice pot" refers to the pure and transparent jade pot with deep ice heart. It is a metaphor for people inside and outside the bright, clear and noble character.

Hu Qiaomu, "Qiaomu" from the "Poetry Classic - logging": "from the valley, pedant in the trees." Qiaomu refers to trees with tall trunks such as pine, cypress, poplar, and birch, all of which symbolize tenacity and nobility of character.

Liu Baiyu, "White Feather", is from the Tang Dynasty Lu Lun's "Under the Cold Song": "Looking for the white feather in Pingming, it is not found in the stone prongs." Baixin, an arrow with white feathers on its shaft, here refers to a sharp arrow that can shoot through green stones, showing strong power.

From the many examples above we can see that there are two tendencies in allusion to pseudonyms. The first is to use its original meaning, and the second is to borrow the "allusion" to play, give new meaning or old words new use, the wording of the opposite.

The former, such as Meng Haoran, Yang Shidinger, Dynasty Wen, Zhu Ziqing, etc., the latter, such as Chu Guozhu, Hu Qiaomu, Liu Baiyu, Weiyang, Deng Sanmu, Wang Renzhong, etc.. These two tendencies are different, different emphasis, but the expression effect is the same, the former allusion itself expresses the master wants to express the idea, meaning, and the latter allusion is through the "reuse", that is, after the derivation of the master wants to express the idea, are embodied in the master's value orientation, outlook on life, world view, attitude and career orientation and so on. and career orientation and other issues, intriguing, far-reaching implications. For example, the word "Qiaomu" in the allusion to the intention is a tall tree, used in the name of the derivation of the tall personality, and then "scattered wood" in the allusion to the original meaning of the useless material, the master of the scattered wood for the name shows humility, positive and enterprising virtues, is the natural flow of personality. The name is a natural expression of personality.

Chinese idioms

Chinese idioms is the processing and transformation of idioms and naming methods, that is, the introduction of idioms of the naming method. Names using idioms have ornamental value, practical value and aesthetic value, tasteful, and catchy, far-reaching meaning, giving people a sense of beauty.

Chinese idioms are fixed phrases or phrases that are commonly agreed upon, and most of them are composed of four characters. About 17,000 idioms have been collected in the Dictionary of Chinese Idioms. This is a considerable amount of information that can be utilized and developed as a treasure trove for naming.

The idioms in the name naturally cannot be applied as a whole, but they can be modified to take their meaning and use it. After the appropriate transformation of the idiom into a name, there are mainly the following three ways:

The first is a condensed form. The idiom will be compressed as a whole, transformed into the form of two or three words, so that people know at a glance its origin and the meaning of the name. Examples are as follows:

Ye Zhiqiu: that is, "a leaf knows autumn", see a leaf fall, you know that autumn is approaching. This is a metaphor for having a keen insight into the development of the whole situation from certain subtle signs.

Ji Tian Xiang: "Auspicious Man, Heavenly Face" means that a good man will be protected and helped by heaven, and this name is a deep blessing to the owner.

Wanshi Nian: "billions of years". It describes the infinite long years, the coming days are long, I will be up and down.

The second is the outline style, will be idiomatic with a few keywords, the outline of the performance.

For example, Liu Haisu: a drop in the ocean; Cheng Siyuan: drinking water and thinking of its source; Mao Zhiyuan: learning by doing; Zhu Xinxiang: fragrant prayers and so on. This form is more random and has no special requirements for surnames.

Yan Tingli: Jinan City, Shandong Province, Han Chinese, Dharma name of the master before seeking, now 40 years old. Since childhood, dedicated to the study of the Zhouyi Feng Shui more than twenty years, specializing in naming, word split, naming and measuring word design, etc., the last two years painstakingly original Wangtu (Wangtu) design technology, life advocate of a "sincere" word, to be honest, do things honestly, do business in good faith, "honesty! The word "Sincerity" means: honesty and trustworthiness, a promise is a promise! Because of this his life path is wider and wider, reputation is getting bigger and bigger, he left the most footprints in Beijing, Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong and other provinces and cities, for many famous enterprises and dignitaries left a deep impression. He is also known as "China's most famous feng shui master", "China's master of easy learning", "China's famous feng shui master", "China's authoritative feng shui masters His works include "History of Modern I Ching Development", "Contemporary I Ching Discussions", "Architectural Feng Shui Study", "Psychology of Character Prediction", and "The Psychology of Character Prediction", "The Psychology of Predicting Characters" and so on.

The third is the harmonic style, that is, using the above two ways, according to the need to use harmonic characters to replace the original word in the idiom, for example:

Zhong Zhicheng: "Zhong" means "all the will to form a city", we are all working together, just like the city wall. The city wall is as solid as a city wall. The metaphor is that if we are united, we can overcome difficulties and achieve success.

Shen Lixing: "Shen" means "to be physically active", to experience and practice, indicating the master's practical attitude.

Feng Gan Yu: "Feng" means "sweet rain", which is a metaphor for the fulfillment of what one has been longing for.

Xin Hua Fang: "Xin' means "the heart blossoms with fury", which describes being very happy.

Chinese idioms should pay attention to a "clever" word, one is the expression of idioms to be accurate, eye-catching, so that people at a glance, can not be ambiguous or misunderstanding; the second is the choice of idioms to be suitable for the name, to be elegant and popular * * * * appreciation, both elegant and can be read and understood, and to have a positive meaning. Television series "sixteen years old flower season" in such a small episode: a girl surnamed Zhang, she wanted to take a four-letter name, the room of friends to give her a name: "Zhang teeth dance melon", earning the crowd laughed. We do not think at the same time, we can get the name to "elegant" inspiration. Another example, a family name for "yellow" people, it is best not to name "yellow sorghum dream", because the idiom "yellow sorghum a dream" meaning is a metaphor for wanting to realize the good thing fell into a void, see, this name will more or less let himself sweep away. Such a name will more or less let themselves spoil the fun, leave a laughingstock for others, or away from the best.

Harmonic conception

The so-called harmonic Xingyi conception method, that is, in the A word and the word has the same pronunciation or similar, you can use the voice as a bridge, with the A word word of the word shape that the B word of the semantics, or with the B word of the word shape that the semantics of the A word of the conception of a method and skills. As early as in the ancient times of China, there has been a "false borrowing word", that is, borrowing the form of the word A, expressing the meaning of the word B. The word "Borrowing" is the meaning of the word "B". Harmony is the living use of borrowed words, the principle of the two is the same. The above mentioned clever use of idiomatic method of "harmonic style" is a harmonic Xingyi conception of a name method.

Harmonics Xingyi name of the way there are two main: First, the harmonization of the family name, such as Liu (stay) Castle Peak, He (River) Sihai, Zhu (Zhu) full of court, Song (Song) Taiping, Yao (Yao) a long way to go, Tan (talk) heaven and earth, Ai (Ai) Nong, Gong (***) Huqi, Xue (Xue) in the eye and so on. Secondly, the name harmonization, such as Ma Xin (new) clothes, more Jingmin (Min), Li Gongpu (servant), and so on.

Generally a name in a harmonic word, in order to be distinct, focused, such as the examples cited above. But sometimes, because of the need to form words, you can occasionally choose to use two harmonic characters in the name. For example, Li Yuanchao (aid to North Korea), Deng Goming (revolution), etc., only these two or more harmonic characters of the name has its double semantic meaning, that is, the meaning of the original meaning and the meaning of the harmonic characters.

The use of this method of naming, expanding the semantic range between the name and the name, enhance the name of the interesting and implicit, readability, and therefore loved by the masses. The use of harmonic method should pay attention to the following two points: First, the use of harmonic words should be carefully considered, not ugly name, or bring negative, indecent meaning.

For example, "Yao Peiqian", the idea of this name is to take "to cultivate the virtue of modesty and good learning" meaning. But listen carefully to this name, you will find that the word "Pei" and the word "compensation" is homophonic, and the word "humble" and the word "money" is harmonious, so it sounds very much like the word "money". The Chinese character "pei"(pei)and "謙"(mei), which sounds very much like the character "要赔钱" (to lose money), is quite negative and unpleasant. Another example is the "sea of commerce" a, literally no big mistake, is to show that the commercial developed, prosperous as the sea of meaning, but called up easily misheard as "harm". This is not well thought out, resulting in adverse effects. So we are using the harmonic Xingyi method of naming, must be repeated, strict control, to eliminate the negative effects.

The second is to grasp the law of harmonic meaning, that is, in what cases the use of the meaning, in what cases the use of harmonic transformation semantics. A word of harmonic transformation of meaning is often more than one, then, the key to distinguish and choose is to carry out the "context" of the analysis, that is, to clarify the linguistic environment, dredge up the relationship between the words.

Five elements

The five elements refer to the five material elements, namely: water, fire, wood, gold and earth. According to the ancient Chinese simple materialist Yin-Yangists, these five substances are the origin and basis of all things.

The five elements are born together: wood begets fire, fire begets earth, earth begets gold, gold begets water, and water begets wood;

The five elements are mutually exclusive: water begets fire, fire begets gold, gold begets wood, wood begets earth, and earth begets water.

The theory of the five elements is with simple materialism and dialectic factors, the development of Chinese astronomy, calendars, medicine and so on played a great role, so far, Chinese medicine is still five elements to illustrate the attributes of the internal organs and their interrelationships. For example, Chinese medicine believes that the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to the earth, the lungs belong to the gold, the kidneys belong to the water, etc.: In addition, Chinese medicine is also clinically to the five elements of the theory of birth to explain the internal organs of each other and mutual control relationships, such as the liver can control the card, known as the wood and the earth; the spleen can nourish the lungs, known as the earth born of the gold, etc., in the treatment of liver disease such as the offense of the spleen, the use of the liver to support the spleen to suppress the treatment, known as suppressing wood and supporting the earth.

The importance of the name

Determined the word after the five elements should be divided into the combination of ruler and minister, the five elements of the name of the Zhou Yi name combination of the family name for the ruler of the first name for the guest; this and the eight of the Lord of the day as the main rest of the guest is a reason, the name of the five elements do not like to grams only happy with the birth of the eight elements, it is with the eight happy with the grams would be weakened and lead to unlucky. The use of Zhouyi name should pay attention to several aspects:

1, in line with the individual's fate, that is, through the fate of the individual selected by the gods, that is, people say the remedy for the five elements, and then according to the individual's favorite word combination;

2, in line with the theory of the I Ching, which means to achieve a balance of yin and yang (i.e., neutral); neutralization and is a two concepts, the positive frame should be in the (in the is the five elements of stopping evenly, the circulation of the endless), and from the frame should be and (and that is the five elements of stopping evenly, the circulation) The two concepts are: the positive frame should be in the center (the center is the five elements to stop evenly, the flow is uninterrupted), and the subordinate frame should be in the harmony (and is the harmony and the gas is smooth, should not be charged).

3, in line with the shape of the word, the meaning of the word, the sound of the word, take the image, Yi Li, that is to say, in the name of the word, can not be out of the way, difficult to recognize, should be conducive to writing and recognition, and can not be harmonized, so that people have a bad reverie, in addition, a name should have a good meaning, because the name of the role of the hint, positive name always gives people a feeling of vitality;

4, in line with the three yuan Configuration, that is, commonly known as the timing, location, people and, the intention is to the three aspects of good fortune are kneaded into the name, so that the name can play a role in increasing luck;
