Textual research on the origin of Xu's name

Everyone has his own name, each name represents a different meaning and has a touching story. Let me introduce the origin of my name to you.

According to the custom of Chaoshan people, as soon as I was born, my grandmother took my birthdates and asked the fortune teller to help me calculate and see what was missing. As a result, the fortune teller said that my five elements were short of "wood", and of course my name would have a "wood".

The most learned person in our family is my grandfather, so my parents asked him to give me a nice and memorable name. Grandpa rummaged through the dictionary and found several words, but he thought "catalpa" was the most suitable word. Grandpa said "catalpa" means hometown. He hopes that I will remember my hometown wherever I go when I grow up. So my name is Zhuangzi.

"Ha ha, Zhuangzi is a well-known great philosopher and thinker!" Many people will say that when they hear my name for the first time. I always feel very proud at this time.

I love my name!
