Naming skills of Zhouyi

Naming is a profound knowledge, which has two meanings: one is traditional Zhouyi numerology mathematics, and the other is modern aesthetics.

Numerology and mathematics require professional knowledge and are difficult to master. Modern aesthetics can't be ignored, and a good name based on numerology and mathematics is also not a good name. Let's talk about aesthetic aspects other than numerology and mathematics. This is also an important part of Zhouyi's name.

A thousand dollars is easy to get, but a good name is hard to find.

What is a good name? Besides numerology and mathematics, it can be summarized in ten words: novelty, elegance, implication, loudness and beauty.

Freshness, that is, unique, unique, not easy to be violated.

Elegance means looking respectable, reading amiable, calling lovely, tasting delicious and clean.

The moral is that the artistic conception is deep, the connotation is rich, and it conforms to the virtue of righteousness.

Loud, that is, pleasant, smooth, eye-catching, with musical beauty.

Formal beauty means that it conforms to aesthetic principles, the structure is patchy, the strokes are symmetrical and full of vitality.

Cultural concept

Scholars of all ages like to use allusions in literary works and songs. The implication, elegance, persuasiveness, vividness and allusions in Dong's poems refer to meaningful stories and words from China's classical literature. The use of allusions is one of the cultural traditions in China, and it is also one of the important ways to improve the aesthetic quality of name culture.

Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was named after "I am good at nurturing my noble spirit" in Mencius Gongsun Chou. The noble spirit refers to the purity, broadness and fortitude of temperament. Wen Tianxiang also said in a poem, "It is noble spirit, which will last forever. When it runs through the sun and the moon, life and death will be settled! " It is about the noble spirit: "The noble spirit means the righteousness of heaven and earth."

Zheng Banqiao is a famous painter, poet and calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty. His name comes from Yang Liuzhi written by Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty: "A river is full of willows, and the Boss Bridge was built twenty years ago. I once said goodbye to Beauty Bridge, but I wish I could never hear from you again. " The word "Banqiao" is used to satirize the coldness of the world, and its name is consistent with its painting style, which is intriguing.

Many famous scholars in modern times also skillfully use allusions in naming, which has played a powerful role in promoting the application of this method.

For example, Zhu Ziqing's name comes from "It is better to be upright than to be self-clean" in "Chu Ci Bu Ju"? Show that you want to be an innocent and self-respecting person, honest and self-disciplined. Indeed, as the name implies, Zhu Ziqing was clean and innocent all his life, especially when he was poor and ill in his later years. However, when Nimbu starved to death, he refused to eat the flour thrown down by American soldiers, thus maintaining the national integrity and backbone of China people. Another example is the name of Mr. Wang Chaowen in The Analects of Liren: "He died in the evening when he heard the Tao." It means to know the truth in the morning and seek the truth in a desperate spirit. Mr. Chu Tunan's name comes from Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Ji: Dapeng flies from Beiming. "Cloudless, responsible for the sky and then the south, suitable for the south." "Tunan" represents an established lofty goal.

, Shen curling. Bing Xin and Curling are from the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Changling's Farewell of Furong Inn and Xin Jian: "When relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, there is a piece of Bing Xin in the jade pot". Ice core refers to crystal clear water as white as ice; "Curling" refers to a noble and transparent jade pot with a deep ice heart. It is a metaphor for people's bright inside and outside, beautiful appearance and noble character.

Hu Qiaomu, the "tree" comes from the logging in the Book of Songs: "From the valley, wandering in the tree." Trees refer to trees with tall trunks such as pine, cypress, poplar and birch. These trees all symbolize tenacious will and noble personality.

Liu Baiyu, "White" comes from Lu Lun's "cold tone" in the Tang Dynasty: "The next morning, he found his white arrow pointing deeply at the hard rock." White heart, an arrow with white feathers on the handle, here refers to a sharp arrow that can shoot through bluestone, showing great power.

As can be seen from the above example, there are two tendencies of allusion alias. One is to use its original meaning, the other is to use "Dian" to give old words new meaning or new use, and vice versa.

The former such as Meng Haoran, Yang,,, Zhu Ziqing, etc. , while the latter such as Chu, Hu Qiaomu, Liu, Wei Yang,,, etc. These two tendencies have different ideas and different emphases, but the expression effect is the same. The former's allusions express the thoughts and meanings that the owner wants to express, while the latter's allusions express the thoughts that the owner wants to express through "reuse", that is, after extension, reflecting the owner's value orientation, outlook on life, world outlook, attitude towards things and professional orientation, which is intriguing and profound. For example, the word "arbor" is originally meant to be a tall tree in the allusion, but it is extended to a tall personality when used in the name. For example, the original meaning of "pine" in allusions is useless material, and the owner's name of pine shows the virtue of modesty and initiative, which is the natural expression of personality.

Idiom concept

Skillful use of idioms is a method of processing, transforming and naming idioms, that is, the naming method of introducing idioms. The use of idiom names has ornamental value, practical value and aesthetic value, and it is tasteful, catchy, meaningful and gives people a sense of beauty.

Idioms are established phrases or phrases, which are mostly composed of four words. The Dictionary of Chinese Idioms contains about 17000 idioms. This amount is considerable, and it is a "treasure house" that can be used for naming and development.

Naturally, the use of idioms in names cannot be applied as a whole, but idioms can be modified according to their meanings. There are three main ways to introduce names into idioms after proper transformation:

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

Ye Zhiqiu: "It's quite critical" to know that when a leaf falls, autumn is coming. This metaphor has a keen insight, and we can see the development trend of the whole situation from some subtle signs.

Auspicious weather: that is, "auspicious weather", kind people will be protected and helped by God, and this name has a deep blessing on their owners.

Vance year: that is, "100 million years". Describe an infinitely long time, there is still a long time, I will search up and down.

The second is the outline style, in which several key words are used to express idioms in an outline.

Such as Liu Haisu: a drop in the ocean; Cheng Siyuan: Thinking about drinking water; Zhiyong Mao: Apply what you have learned; Zhu Xinxiang: Incense prayers, etc. This form is random and there is no special requirement for surnames.

Yan: A native of Jinan, Shandong Province, Han nationality, former master of seeking dharma names, 40 years old. I have studied Zhouyi Feng Shui for more than 20 years since I was a child, and I am good at naming, spelling and spelling design. In the last two years, I have worked hard to create the design technology of Wangtu, and I have advocated the word "sincerity" all my life. I want to be honest, do things sincerely and do business honestly. The word "sincerity" means: honesty and trustworthiness, it's a deal! Because of this, his life path is getting wider and wider and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger. He has left the most footprints in Beijing, Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong and other provinces and cities, leaving a deep impression on many famous enterprises and dignitaries. He is also known as "the most famous master of Feng Shui in China", "the master of Yi Studies in China", "the famous master of Feng Shui in China" and "the authoritative master of Feng Shui in China". Related works include History of Modern Book of Changes, Discussion on Contemporary Book of Changes, Research on Architectural Feng Shui, and Predictive Psychology of Word Splitting, etc.

The third is homophonic, that is, using the above two methods to replace the original words in idioms with homophonic words as needed, such as:

Zhong Zhicheng: "Zhong" means "Unity is strength". Together, Qi Xin is as strong as a city wall. It is a metaphor that only when everyone is United can the Lord overcome difficulties and achieve success.

Shen: "Shen" means "practice". Experience it personally and practice it with your heart, showing the attitude of the master.

Feng Ganyu: "Feng" means "after the rain clears up", which means that what you have been longing for has been satisfied.

Square heart: "heart" means "be elated", which means very happy.

Pay attention to the word "Qiao" when naming idioms skillfully. First, the expression of idioms should be accurate and eye-catching, so that people can see at a glance, and there can be no ambiguity or misunderstanding; Second, the idioms chosen should be suitable for naming, appealing to both refined and popular tastes, elegant and easy to understand, and have positive significance. There is an episode in the TV series "Sixteen-year-old Flower Season": a girl surnamed Zhang wanted to have a four-word name, and her roommate's friend named her "Tooth Claws", which made everyone laugh. Although we don't agree, we can get inspiration that the name should be "elegant". For another example, a person surnamed Huang had better not be called "dream", because the idiom "dream" means that the good thing he wants to achieve will come to nothing. Look, such a name will somewhat disappoint yourself and leave a laughing stock for others. It is better to stay away.

Homophonic concept

The so-called homonym method is a kind of conception method and skill, which can express the semantics of the second word with the help of pronunciation of the first word and the second word, or express the semantics of the first word with the help of the second word. As early as in ancient China, there was a saying of "borrowing words in disguise", that is, borrowing the form of A to express the meaning of B. Homophonic form and meaning are the flexible use of loanwords, and their principles are the same. The grammatical homophonic form mentioned above is one of the naming methods of homophonic form and meaning.

There are two main homophonic names in form and meaning: one is homophonic surnames, such as Liu (Liu Qingshan), He (thinking about the sea), Zhu (Zhu) in court, Song (praising Taiping), Yao (traveling far away), Tan (talking about heaven and earth), Ai (Ai Nong) and Gong (sharing weal and woe). Second, the names are homophonic, such as Ma Xin (new clothes), Gengjing (people), (servants) and so on.

Under normal circumstances, a name only uses one homophonic word, which is to distinguish and concentrate, as in the above example. But sometimes because of the need of word formation, you can occasionally choose two homophonic words to name them. Such as Li Yuanchao (aid Korea) and Deng Geming (revolution), but these names with two or more homophonic characters have their double meanings, namely, original meaning and homophonic.

Naming a name in this way expands the semantic range between surnames and first names, and enhances the interest, implication and readability of names, so it is deeply loved by the masses. When using homophonic method, we should pay attention to the following two points: First, the choice of homophonic words should be carefully considered, and the names should not be ugly or bring negative and indecent meanings.

For example, "Yao Peiqian" was originally conceived in the sense of "cultivating the virtue of being open-minded and eager to learn". But if you listen to the name carefully, you will find that the word "compensation" is homophonic with the word "compensation", while the word "money" is homophonic with the word "money", so it sounds like "losing money", and the meaning is quite negative and unpleasant. Another example is the name "Shang Hai", which literally means that business is developed and prosperous, but it is easy to be mistaken for "hurting the body". This is the bad influence caused by thoughtlessness. Therefore, when we use homonym to name names, we must scrutinize them repeatedly and strictly control them to prevent negative effects.

The second is to master the law of homophonic form and meaning, that is, when to adopt the original meaning and when to use homophonic to transform semantics. The homophonic transformation of a word often has more than one meaning, so the key to distinguish and choose is to analyze the "context", that is, to understand the language environment and sort out the relationship between words.

Name five elements.

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;

The five elements coexist: water is like fire, fire is like gold, Jin Kemu, wood is like soil, and soil is like water.

The theory that the five elements are mutually generated has simple materialism and dialectical factors, which has played a great role in the development of astronomy, almanac and medicine in China. Traditional Chinese medicine still uses the theory of five elements to explain the attributes of zang-fu organs and their relationship. For example, Chinese medicine believes that the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, the lung belongs to gold, and the kidney belongs to water. In addition, Chinese medicine also uses the theory of five elements to explain the relationship between zang-fu organs, such as the liver can make the card, which is called muketu; Spleen can nourish the lungs, and it is known as "local gold". In terms of treatment, such as liver disease invading spleen, the treatment method of suppressing liver and supporting spleen is called "suppressing wood and supporting soil"

Name essence

After the definition of the five elements of the word, it should be divided into the combination of monarch, minister and guest, and the combination of the five elements named by Zhouyi takes the surname as the guest; This is the same reason that the Japanese in the eight characters are the host and the rest are the guests. The five elements in the name don't like grams but like life. When used in conjunction with the eight-character character, Dick will reduce his own strength and lead to bad luck. Several aspects should be paid attention to in naming Zhouyi:

1, in line with personal numerology, that is, choose the god that one likes through fate, which is what people call the five elements of remedy, and then combine them according to what one likes;

2. It conforms to the Yijing theory, and its implication is to achieve the balance of yin and yang (that is, neutralization); Neutralization is two concepts, just right, just right (referring to the five elements stopping evenly and circulating endlessly), and just right from the right (referring to harmony and smoothness, and should not be rushed).

3. Conformity, meaning, sound, image and rationality refer to the words used in the name, which should not be uncommon and difficult to recognize, but should be conducive to writing and recognition, and there should be no homophony, which will cause bad reverie. In addition, the name should have a good meaning, because the name has a suggestive effect, and a positive name can always give people a feeling of vigor and vitality;

4. It conforms to the ternary configuration, that is, the common names of time, place and people. It is intended to combine these three kinds of good luck into the name, so that the generated name can play a role in increasing luck;

5, in line with personal style and personality, the name should be taken according to my personality information, try to make up for the disadvantages of personality, highlight my own advantages, and avoid the same name as the family, especially the elders;

6. The image of the Book of Changes contained in the name should be auspicious and avoid the name being biased towards the five elements.

7. Names avoid conflicts of surnames. Ask for customers' opinions, analyze the words that customers like, and screen out the words that are beneficial to children's lives to combine names.

8. Conforming to phonetics and phonology means taking a good name, which should be eye-catching, catchy and easy to remember, because psychologically, the name is called the first cause effect, which gives people the first feeling, and a good name is easy to make others feel good about themselves;

9. These names contain rich traditional national culture.

10, the beautiful font of the name is beneficial to the signature design.
