Wuxi is famous for fortune telling.

Taking a name, in addition to pinning people's good wishes, often carries a deep brand of the times. An auspicious name that conforms to the pattern of numerology, five elements and mathematics has strong spiritual strength and suggestive power for one's health, marriage and career, and promotes the harmonious coexistence between people and society. Let me tell you about the methods and taboos of naming babies and Zhouyi.

Details 0 1 Introduction to Zhouyi Naming is a numerology with comprehensive concepts of mathematics, yin and yang, five elements, psychology, sociology, history, philosophy and natural science. It is a knowledge developed from China's ancient philosophy "Book of Changes". A name is a group of symbols, and The Book of Changes is a knowledge to analyze the meaning and quality of the symbols that make up this name. The Zhouyi named after it belongs to a branch of Zhouyi and a new faction derived from Zhouyi's image number theory. It is profound and has a long history. The naming of Zhouyi can also be understood as the art of naming, which is an act of fortune telling. The five elements, named after the five elements, refer to five material elements, namely water, fire, wood, gold and earth. Yin and Yang experts in ancient naive materialism, China believe that these five substances are the origin and foundation of all things. Five elements coexist: wood fire, fire earth, primary gold, golden water and aquatic wood; Five elements coexist: water can overcome fire, people can overcome gold, Jin Kemu, Mukeshi and Tuke water. [4] People's thoughts are the product of society, and social ideology is always imprinted on people's minds. And people's thoughts are closely related to their understanding of nature and society. The prevalence of the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements makes people associate the ups and downs of life with birth and punishment through the five elements. Therefore, when naming names, they strive for harmony between yin and yang, combining rigidity with softness, thinking that this can turn adversity into luck and make life smooth. This is probably the reason why people have been naming it on the basis of the five elements theory for thousands of years. A loud, elegant and tasteful name is conducive to social interaction, improving affinity, enhancing interpersonal relationship and career development.

1. First of all, we must calculate the numerology likes and dislikes according to the eight characters and find out the ups and downs. Then, according to the theory of "image" and "number" in the Book of Changes, according to the mathematical good and bad of the five elements, and according to the relationship between Yin and Yang and the five elements, the balance is adjusted.

2. To calculate its numerology likes and dislikes, we should look for words with literal meaning according to it, combine and match them to see if they conform to the principles of sound, form and meaning of Chinese characters, and even more, we should use surnames to match them, avoiding names like "Wu Yong".

3. After the name is determined, combine the eight characters to see if the name and the main eight characters should be rushed, and then modify.

4. Introduce some naming techniques: according to homophonic words, different words have different meanings; Change the radical, radical itself has two meanings, so the radical changes its meaning greatly; Change the meaning of words according to adding and deleting words; The meaning of exchange before and after will be different. However, renaming is a very serious matter and requires professionals to be competent. So if you want to change your name, you'd better find a formal institution and don't trust some Jianghu Taoist priests. The development history of the Book of Changes originates from the philosophical thoughts of our ancestors and is the quintessence of our country. Confucius said: "Justification" is a simple sentence, but its meaning already implies the importance of people to names. There is a famous saying in ancient times: "A name must be real, and a name is a real guest." In Shuowen, the motto is "name", "destiny" and "name is pretentious". In ancient times, although many scholars studied numerology, it is a pity that they only studied the literal meaning without development, and did not combine it with the Book of Changes to form a special knowledge. Later, although various generations of officials had detailed supplements and explanations, they were not taken seriously. Heresy was just a folk method used only for fortune telling. As a result, this romantic trend of thought spread to Japan and gradually became popular, which officially presented the origin of Ming studies. By the end of18th century19th century, Japanese scientist Kenyon Kumazaki had systematically sorted out the study of famous names, which was actually the study of China people's names. But students who study this subject are given the student number of "Saint Student". Then it spread to Singapore, Macau, Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong, South Korea and other places, and gradually spread to the northeast of China.

03 Newborn Baby Zhouyi's Name Taboo

Don't choose polyphonic words

The little girl Dong Qian was unhappy as soon as she entered school. At the first roll call, the teacher called her Dong. Since then, her friends have nicknamed her and stopped calling her the correct name. This is all caused by disyllabic words. Experts point out that polyphonic words are confusing to read and it is best to avoid naming them.

Don't use uncommon words.

Zhang, a modern scholar, named his daughter and arranged four characters "I" in a square, that is, the ancient word "Zhan". Many people, including their daughter's teacher, were stumped by this biased wording, which made them very embarrassed. Nowadays, people can't use computers to input uncommon words in their names, and there are many examples of trouble in household registration, handling licenses, bank deposits, post office remittance, buying insurance, buying civil aviation tickets and handling other businesses. Experts say that a person's name seems to be a personal matter, but it has a strong sociality. The abuse of uncommon and irregular words in names will not only cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, but also affect communication.

Duplicate names are not easy to repeat.

There are three children in kindergarten 1 class with the same name, so that teachers and children should be divided into big, small, fat and thin. There are two "willow trees" among CCTV hosts. "Zhang Ying" is a good name, but in the late 1980s, there were more than 4,000 "Zhang Ying" in Beijing alone. Duplicate names will bring some troubles and even harm, and duplicate names can greatly reduce the rate of duplicate names. According to the sampling survey of the third national census data of 1989 conducted by the State Language Committee, the rate of single names with duplicate names is 67.7%, and the rate of duplicate names is 32.4%. Therefore, experts suggest that it is best not to have a single name.

Avoid common names.

If a person is called "Jingsheng", he is likely to be born in Beijing; If his name is "Hu Sheng", he may have been born in Shanghai. According to the sampling survey of the data of the third national census conducted by the State Language Committee, among the 570,000 people, 630 were named "Jianguo" and 6 10 were named "Jianjun". There are 1084 named "Gui Lan", and more named "Guiying" are 1336. Experts suggest that naming patterns should not be too similar, and names with high usage rate should be avoided as much as possible. In some places, when parents declare their accounts for newborns, they can check whether there are duplicate names through computers, which is worth popularizing.

The tone is different.

The names of the three words "Zhang Xiangjiang", "Feng Qinglan" and "Yuan" have the same accent. Does it feel a little dull to read? "Shen and Sun Hanqing have ups and downs? Experts found that only 5.2% of the samples are names with the same tone, which shows that people consciously or unconsciously follow the tone sandhi rule when naming names. Experts also suggest that the end of the name should be flat, because the upper voice is poor. Choose several words with the same initial sound in phonology. If you put them together, it will be difficult to read. If the vowels are the same, it is even more difficult. " Nannilan, Lee and Sun Cunchun? QuotKirk and ",does that sound like a tongue twister? Experts remind that it is best not to choose all initials with the same pronunciation parts as L, Z, C, S and zh, ch and sh. In order to make the name sound loud and beautiful, it is very important to choose the vowels of words. Experts say that nasal vowels sound loud, especially nasal words such as "Ang", "Liang", "Guang", "Peng" and "Dong". In non-nasal vowel characters, the vowel belly, that is, the main vowels with large opening, such as "Da", "Shuai", "Yao" and "Bao", has a higher loudness. Names with font structure are often not only read, but also written.

Don't choose a single word structure.

Names such as "National Garden", "Lin" and "Lu" are slightly monotonous and lack of changing aesthetic feeling, which may also affect people's recognition of signatures.

Avoid homophones

If homonyms are skillfully used in naming, people will feel implicit and unconventional. However, nominators sometimes only pay attention to the meaning of the words they choose, ignoring that words or phrases that are homophonic with names may be derogatory. Experts pointed out that names such as Fanwan (rice bowl), laryngitis and fox spirit are not beautiful, so we should avoid using names such as Wenquan and Shenyang, which are easy to cause ambiguity in the text.

You can't choose a name regardless of gender.

Gender is an important factor in the aesthetic standard of names. Imagine if a young man only heard a girl's name on his first date, would he be more inclined to choose? Is it and, or Xie He? Don't worship foreign Keiko. Is this a Japanese friend? No, she is a little girl named Tian from China. Experts say that in order to give their children a unique name, more and more parents come up with four-character names, which is an attempt. However, misleading names such as "Huizi", "John Li" and "Peter Zhang" should be used with caution. It is best for China people to have China characteristics and embody China culture.

No need for tradition

According to the relevant household registration system, since 1983, simplified characters have been used in Chinese names, and the special circumstances at the beginning of traditional characters are no longer used.

Mom and Dad, the baby's compound surname is very popular.

"Now children's names are becoming more and more personalized, especially when I entered primary school this year. I found that many students' names are four words, and some even combine their parents' surnames with their own names."

When the reporter visited Sanqiao and other police stations in Taiyuan City, he found that among the names registered in the newborn household registration book, double surnames have become a popular fashion: Liu Xuan, Yue and Qing Yu ... These names connect the father's surname and the mother's surname, which are both creative and satisfy the common sense of belonging of parents, and are deeply loved by a large number of parents. "The babies born this year, the boys are more with Ze, Hong and Ming; Girls choose more culvert, flow and grace. " This is an article that a reporter saw on a website, "How to give children the name of Zhouyi". Although it is a family statement, the click rate is very high. This year is what people call the Year of the Golden Pig. Many parents focus on the "five elements" when naming their children to cater to the "golden" characteristics of the golden pig.

At the provincial children's hospital, Ms. Li, who just gave birth to a big fat boy, said that she had given the baby a nickname, but the name was still there. "When my wife asks about the child's birthday and five elements." Ms. Yao thinks that "it is best to have seven pictures in the middle of a child's name", but she can't find the most suitable word at the moment.

In another room in the inpatient department, Ms. Liu, the expectant mother who is about to give birth, has answers. If it's a daughter, it's called Mai Mai, and if it's a boy, it's called Linlin. "This is easy to remember and rich in meaning"-the baby pig eats whole grains, and the girl is lazy. I hope she has food and doesn't have to worry about sleeping; The boy wants him to be free and live in the mountains as carefree as a pig.

When the reporter looked through the registration records at the police station, he found that there were many boys' names, such as Ming, Zhe, Wei and Lin, which were both neutral and feminine. There are many names for girls, such as Qi, Han, Yu, Man, Fei and Yun.

Police officer Li, who is in charge of household registration in Taiyuan Public Security Bureau, believes that parents now pay great attention to the significance of naming their children and pin their hopes on them. However, the emergence of many uncommon words has added a lot of trouble to police registration. "If it is a word that the computer can't find, it will be too uncommon and complicated, which will add a lot of trouble to the children in the future."
