1. The meaning of the words should be auspicious, avoid vulgarity, calmness, westernized fonts, and avoid harmful fonts.
2. The pronunciation of the characters should be pleasant to the ear, Ruyi, balanced between yin and yang, and full of rhythm.
3. The fonts should be coordinated, varied, and easy to write.
4. It should be combined with family tradition, career and the expectations of parents and elders for their children.
5. Some families arrange their generations by characters, which can prevent them from having the same name as their ancestors, as well as characters and accents.
6. Name boys and girls according to their different gender characteristics and should reflect their gender characteristics.
7. Name the child based on the situation before and after birth, such as the climate characteristics at the time or whether there were any special events before and after birth.
8. Name the child based on the time of birth. Consider the year, month, day, season, hour, zodiac, etc.
9. It implies ideals, ambitions, hobbies and goal pursuits. The wish is placed in the name, which means wisdom, perseverance, open-mindedness, luxury, elegance, refinement, happiness and longevity. Don't underestimate the symbols of this surname. Some names give people the association of grandeur, grandeur, and vigor, while some names give people the fragrance of quietness and elegance. Some people often use their names to motivate themselves and eventually succeed, while others have mediocre names that make people content with the status quo and lead them to work hard all their lives. This can be regarded as a kind of message. A good name lasts a lifetime. Therefore, naming is the most important thing. It is best to invite scholars and experts to give their opinions.
When a new life is born, parents and elders not only celebrate it but also start to choose a name for their child. Now that we know that naming is so important and that the connotation of names has far-reaching meanings in life, start picking a good name for your child right away!
1. No matter what name you choose, it should not have evil or unlucky words or meanings
2. First check whether there are any missing items in the four innate pillars. For example: Mr. Lu Xun in " In the article "Run Tu", it is written that "Run Tu, the five elements lack earth, so the name Run Tu" is not to add earth in the meaning of the word, but to take the strokes of earth in the connotation of the name in the mathematics, such as the eight-stroke character, the personality is 15 Numbers; avoid using numbers that contain wood, because wood overcomes earth, such as the four-painted character, and the personality number is 11. If it is not appropriate to use numbers that contain earth when measuring left and right, then the next best thing is to use numbers that contain fire, because fire creates earth.
3. The configuration of the name’s heaven, personality, and place are equally important to the meaning of life. You must not ignore the configuration of heaven, person, and place just to include auspicious numbers in your name. The relationship between personality and earth pattern is called basic luck, and the relationship between heaven pattern and personality is called successful luck. If it is restrained, the foundation will be unstable, success will be hard to come by, and it may even endanger health or suffer sudden disasters.
4. If there is a special issue to pay attention to when naming a girl, she must avoid the math of female loneliness, such as 21, 23, 27, 33, 39, etc. With this number, even if a couple is perfectly matched by nature and the couple loves each other, they will easily suffer separation and death, ranging from a few years to decades. If a good name is chosen according to the innate horoscope, even if the innate horoscope contains a strong message of "hurting officials", marriage disasters can be reduced to the greatest extent.
5. When choosing a name, you must calculate it according to the strokes in the Qianlong dictionary, otherwise, your efforts will be in vain. Some special radicals are calculated according to prescribed strokes.
(1). Four points of water in "氵" count as four strokes. Such as: cleaning, cleaning, washing, bathing, etc.
> (2) Count four strokes next to "扌". Such as picking, poking, etc.
> (3), "Moon" is counted as the six paintings next to the meat. Such as muscles, fat, pulse, etc.
> (4) "Fuck" counts as six strokes. Such as grass, ying, hibiscus, rong, etc.
> (5), "辶" counts as seven paintings. Such as Da, Mai, Xun, Guo, etc.
> (6), the left "阝" counts as eight pictures, Yang, Yin, Chen, Lu, etc.
7), the right "卩" "Count seven paintings, such as Ji, Deng, Kuang, etc.
8), "Wang" count five paintings, such as Wan, amber, rose, rose, etc.
9), "犭" "Count four strokes." Such as Di, Meng, Du, Li, etc.
10). For names with "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten", press "1, 2" , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10" drawing calculation.
The connotation of a name is a kind of force that occurs over time through continuous use. Of course, the names of merchants, companies, and units are equally important. The good or bad name of a business's future also has a certain influence. This is also inseparable from the four pillars and names of the boss and employees.
When a baby is born, what parents care most about is giving their child a good name. In order to give their children a good name, many people rack their brains, read Cihai, read Tang poems, and ask friends, but the names they choose are not ideal. Naming seems easy, but it is actually quite difficult. A simple combination of two or three words contains many skills and methods. To make a name smooth, simple, profound, and unforgettable, you must pay attention to the three principles of shape, sound, and meaning when naming. This is easier said than done. The reason is that there are many taboos when naming, which requires new parents to be careful at all times to nip problems in the bud.
These common taboos in naming are summarized as follows:
1. Taboo on the names of ancestors and sages
The Han people generally avoid the names of their ancestors when naming. First, the Han tradition places great emphasis on seniority. Taking the names of ancestors not only disturbs the order of generation; it is also considered disrespectful to the ancestors. The second reason is due to the particularity of the Han people. Han surnames first inherit the father's surname, and then give their own name, while some ethnic minorities or foreigners have their birth name, their father's name, or their birth name plus their mother's surname and father's surname. For example, French people's names usually have three parts, namely their real name, their mother's surname, and their father's surname. If a person with a Chinese name inherits his father's surname and adds the name of his ancestor, there will be no difference between the two. In this way, you will have no way of telling whether Li Si is his grandfather or his son.
Under the feudal system, people not only had to "respect their ancestors", but also regarded them as the supreme. Even calling the monarch by his first name was treason. During the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns of the Qing Dynasty, this alone was enough. The death penalty affects all nine clans. So this taboo was called "national taboo". But as far as modern people are concerned, just in theory of names, they generally do not use the names of great people and celebrities. But some people deliberately take his name because they admire a certain great person or celebrity. For example, Li Dalin and Zhang Dazhao were named after Li Dazhao and Stalin. Of course, people with the surname Zhao and Guan should not be named "Zilong" and "Yunchang", otherwise there will be no distinction between ancient and modern times.
2. Taboo cold words
Names are for communication, otherwise, the name will lose its value. Today is the age of computers, and the Chinese characters stored in most computers are limited to commonly used characters. If you use some uncommon words when naming, which most people don't recognize, it must affect the communication between people. Using uncommon words in names will only make other people's work more difficult and troublesome.
The reason why people choose uncommon characters when using names is actually very simple, just to avoid being cliché. However, the common characters that people generally recognize are only three to four thousand characters, and the purpose of naming is mainly for others to call it, not to show off knowledge. Someone once gave an example: when you apply for a job in a certain department, if the supervisor does not recognize your name after reading your resume, then his impression of you will definitely be very vague. If he mispronounces your name when calling you and you correct him, the situation may embarrass the leader. The leader will feel embarrassed or even angry because he has lost face. You may also feel contempt because the leader does not even recognize your name. In the future, when superiors and subordinates get along, some discord or disharmony may occur.
While naming should avoid clichés and similarities, it cannot rely on using uncommon words. The use of uncommon words affects the image and hinders communication, which is not worth the gain. The number of Chinese characters in our country is very large. The "Kangxi Dictionary" alone contains 42,174 characters. In addition, there are often very subtle differences between traditional and simplified characters, ancient and modern characters, and traditional and popular characters. In the old days, when people came up with names, they liked to read the Kangxi Dictionary, which is not advisable. We need to use a reference book, and the ideal one is "Modern Chinese Dictionary". It also includes words under each character, which is of great reference value for naming. When using this reference book, you should also pay attention to avoid the uncommon words in it.
3. Avoid monotonous repetition of name fonts
Some people like to make use of the physical structure of Chinese characters when naming. For example: the three names Shi, Lei, Lin, Sen, Nie and Er are examples of this. The aesthetic effect of this kind of naming is quite good, but it is a pity that our surnames can only be used so little. And even if the three surnames are Shi, Lin, and Nie, it is impossible for everyone to use this method.
Some people like to use the same radicals in their names when naming, and promote this as a naming technique, such as Li Ji and Zhang Chi. This technique is actually not worth promoting. If the radicals of the three characters in your name are exactly the same, it will give people a sense of monotony. Especially when you sign in calligraphy, you will feel more strongly that names with the same radicals, such as Jiang Langtao, He Xinren, etc., no matter how you arrange the layout, will have a dull and monotonous feeling, which will not cause any trouble. It is an aesthetic effect that is free and easy, varied, twists and turns, and full of charm. Since we use Chinese characters to name, we must not only consider the abstract beauty of elegance and refinement in meaning, but also pay attention to the beauty of the varied images when writing.
The above example shows that there is a physical structure matching problem between the first name and the last name. If the physical structure does not change, the name will appear dull and formal.
When using glyphs to create names, there were two techniques in the past. One was to split the surname into a given name, and the other was to add a surname to the given name. The so-called splitting a surname into a first name means taking a part of the name and using it as a given name, or dividing the surname into two parts and using it as a first name. For example, Yi Yin, the Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty, was formed by taking part of the surname "Yin". In addition, the famous modern musician Nie Er, the famous writers Shu Sheyu (Lao She), Zhang Dagong, Ji Wuyan, Dong Qianli, Poplar trees also fall into this category. In addition, Lei Yutian, He Renke, etc. also split their surnames into two parts as their given names. Some people in ancient times divided their names into characters, such as the patriotic poet Xie Ao of the Southern Song Dynasty, whose character was Zhen Gaoyu. The characters were formed by splitting the names. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yi was named Sanyi, Xu Fang was named Fangzhou, and Song Mei was named Wenyu. In the Qing Dynasty, You Dong was named Tongren, and Lin Ji was named Jiren. It's also like Mao Qiling's character in the Qing Dynasty. There are also some people who divide their names into nicknames. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, Hu Jue was nicknamed Guyue Laoren, and Xu Wei was nicknamed Shuiyue Tiandao, and they were also divided into nicknames.
The so-called adding a surname to a given name means adding some strokes or radicals to the surname to form a new character, such as Lin Sen, Yu Xu, Jin Xin, Li Ji, etc. >4. Polyphonetic characters are taboo.
Most of the surnames in our country are monophonic characters. There are also some surnames that are polyphonic, such as the word "乐". This kind of surname can obviously cause trouble in social situations. If the polyphony of surnames is an unavoidable fact, then the drafting of names can completely avoid this trouble. There was a student named Lelele somewhere in Shandong, but the teacher didn't know how to call him during class. The teacher was actually stumped by this name. The three characters of this name are all polyphonic, and there are eight ways to read them. Readers can arrange them by themselves if they are interested.
It seems that this student’s parents are deliberately trying to get in trouble with society as a whole. One name actually has eight pronunciations. How should it be used in social situations? In the end, others dare not scream even if they want to, for fear of being laughed at if they shout wrongly, and it is you who will suffer the loss. If others can't call you, you don't have to call or you can avoid it. If a person's name is not called or used by others, then what value does the name have?
So polyphonic words should be avoided as much as possible. If you want to use it, it is best to mark the pronunciation by concatenating it into meaning. For example: Cui Letian, Meng Lezhang. The former uses "天" to indicate that "乐" should be read as le, and the latter uses "Zhang" to indicate that "乐" should be read as yue. The last one uses meaning to tell you what to read.
There are quite a few polyphonic characters in Chinese that commonly use only one sound. When naming such polyphonic characters, you don’t have to worry about mispronunciation when using them.
5. Avoid reading the word "tongue twister"
Sometimes you can use overlapping sounds when naming. For example: Ding Ding, Fang Fang, Xin Xin, etc. If the name is not an overlapping sound, there must be a certain distance between the pronunciation of the first name and the surname. Otherwise, it will not be read smoothly and the desired effect will not be achieved. Some names are difficult to pronounce and may be mispronounced or heard incorrectly. The reason is that the names are awkward and almost become "tongue twisters", such as Shen Jiji, Xia Yayi, Zhou Xiaochao, Geng Jingzhong, Jiang Jiaqiang, Zhang Changshang, Hu Chufu, Chen Yunlin, Fu Zhufu, etc. Some of these names use two initials with the same sound, such as Yayi, Jiang Jia, etc. Some use two words with the same rhyme, such as Jiji, Xiaya, Xiaochao, Hufu, Lizhi, etc. The former type is double tone, and the latter type is duplication rhyme. Some three characters have the same rhyme, such as Zhang Changshang, Hu Chufu, Chen Yunlin, Fu Zhufu, etc. The so-called "tongue twisting" words mainly refer to double-tone words, overlapping rhyme words and homonym words. Since the initial consonants are the same, it is difficult to pronounce them consecutively; words with the same rhymes are read together, and their pronunciation is also more difficult; therefore, the double rhyme is the main reason for "tongue twisting". From this point of view, the avoidance of naming with "unpronounceable" characters mainly refers to the avoidance of naming with double tones or overlapping rhymes. Once you master this rule, it will be much easier to handle.
A name that meets the standards of phonetic beauty should have different sets of initial consonants and different types of finals for the first name and last name. For example: Peng Tao, Feng Qi, Lou Yun, Qi Fei, Yu Sheng, Wan Hong, etc. Due to the different pronunciation of the first name and surname, the sounds of these names have changed, making them easier to read and more pleasant to the ear.
6. Avoid reading indecent homophones
Some people’s names may appear to be very elegant, but because they sound the same or similar to other indecent words and phrases, It can easily arouse people's ridicule and ridicule, become the basis for people's jokes, and produce some kind of funny comedy effect. Such words can be divided into two categories: one is some idioms in life, and the other is derogatory words. For example: Miyagan Ju (Public Security Bureau), Cai Dao (Chop Knife), Lu Hui (Ashes), He Shang (Monk), Tao Huayun (Peach Blossom Luck), Li Zongtong (President Li), Tang Qiu (Sugar Ball), Bao Man Hua (corn flower) and so on.
The above-mentioned homophonic sounds make the name seem not serious and solemn enough, and it is easy to make people laugh in public. In addition, there are some names that are easily misunderstood as derogatory terms, such as Bai Yanliang (white-eyed wolf), Hu Lijing (vixen), Shen Jingbing (psychopath), etc.
This homophony often turns into a nickname. If parents are not careful when naming names, they can easily cause a heavy psychological burden on their children. By then it will be too late to regret it.
7. Avoid overly fashionable words
At any stage in history, there will always be some extremely fashionable words. If you pursue such words when naming,
it will inevitably make people feel that the parents' cultural quality is poor, simple and vulgar, and such names are easy to repeat. "Jianguo" in the 1950s and "Weidong" in the 1970s can be said to have spread all over the country; "Li Jianguo", "Ma Jianguo", "Chen Jianguo", "Wang Weidong", "Liu Weidong", "Zhao Weidong"... can be described as thousands of people. Human side. Due to the spread of political fanaticism, incorporating political color into names once became the most fashionable thing. It is true that names do need colors to embellish them, but the colors of names need to be colorful. It would be too monotonous for everyone to chase trendy words. This makes people think deeply. Although our country has thousands of years of feudal history and pays attention to words such as "loyalty" and "filial piety", if the word "fan" is eliminated, the frequency of use of words such as "loyalty" and "filial piety" Not high. This shows that the ancients did not like to follow fashion when naming. Among the Confucian masters of the past dynasties, who worked hard to instill "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" in people, which one has words like "loyalty" and "filial piety" in his name? Confucius talked about "benevolence" all his life, but he named his son Lii after a fish.
Chasing political buzzwords is just a manifestation of political naivety and superficiality. This is the extreme end of chasing fashion.
Secondly, Chinese people should not give names that are too Westernized. The descendants of the Chinese nation are the descendants of an ancient civilization. Our nation has its own ethics, aesthetic consciousness and cultural values, so we should not underestimate ourselves. Especially when it comes to naming, it should show the need to maintain national characteristics. Folks believe that it is sometimes fashionable to choose a name that is almost Westernized, such as John, Mary, Lisa, Anna, etc. However, in the future social changes and interpersonal interactions, it may create a contemptuous and unpleasant impression on the other party's psychology. Of course, this is a misunderstanding based on different cultures, but this misunderstanding may also affect the opportunities that people get. Paying such a price for a name is not worthwhile anyway.
8. Avoid overly complimentary words
Whether a name sounds good or not does not depend on how gorgeous the words are, but on how well the words are used. But some people may make mistakes: naming boys is always inseparable from some overly violent words, such as Hao, Qiang, Yan, Meng, Chuang, Gang, etc. Although it is decisive and strong when read, it is better to use manly words. However, it can also easily remind people of being reckless, reckless, self-willed, and informal, and mistaken for some arrogant warriors. Therefore, since ancient times, the general aristocrats have tried to avoid naming boys. Open these words. Because Chinese culture believes that those who are strong and strong are not those brave people who express their joy and anger in words and draw swords when encountering difficulties, but some great men who have a noble spirit, are not surprised or angry when encountering difficulties, and talk and laugh happily. Some people name girls but they always use words like Chunlan, Qiuju, Zhenzhen, Yanyan, etc. However, if they are placed in a certain cultural atmosphere, it will make people feel floating. For example, the words "hua", "ping", "yan", "peach" and "willow" are often popular in women's names. Although the flowers are beautiful and bright for a while, they dominate the beauty and dominate the limelight, but after the storm, they will fall into pieces and become dust. Willows are also soft and fragile things. In the idioms, the words "willow-like willows and willows, broken flowers and willows, etc." express the emotional evaluation of the symbolic meaning of this kind of thing. Peach blossoms evoke the association that beauty is prone to decay. Ping and Liu are both symbols of wandering and parting. Therefore, folklore believes that when naming, you should try to avoid these seemingly bright words.
9. Simple names are taboo with common surnames
Currently, there is a craze for single-name names in our country, and the biggest disadvantage of single-name names is that they cause a large number of duplicate names. Calculated based on 4,000 Chinese characters, if all people use a single name, only 4,000 people can use a single name for a surname, and the 4,001th person will start to have the same name. In this way, the probability of duplicate names will inevitably increase greatly. On the contrary, although our country has more people and fewer surnames, if we use double names, if we avoid using fashionable words and clichés, the probability of having the same name is very low.
From the perspective of aesthetic effect, double names have incomparable advantages in terms of the combination of glyphs, the harmony of pronunciations, and the refinement of word meanings. At least they have much more room for choice than single names.
For a big country with a population of more than one billion, it is impossible to completely avoid duplication of names. Moreover, even if many nicknames have the same name, they will not have much impact. For example, with the surname Chu, it is already rare for someone with the surname Chu to appear in a unit. It is simply a miracle that someone with the same name appears again. Not so with big surnames. "Zhang Wang, Li Zhao and Liu everywhere", if such a surname is given a single name, it will inevitably lead to a large number of duplicate names.
How to name your baby - the method of naming with beautiful words
The beauty of a name lies in its meaning, so when choosing words for naming, those words that express beautiful meanings should be taken for granted. be considered first. There are many words in Chinese that express beautiful meanings. Generally accepted. Here are some representative categories of beautiful words introduced one by one.
Zheng
