Naming is a profound knowledge, which has two meanings: one is traditional Zhouyi numerology and mathematics, and the other is modern aesthetics.
numerology and mathematics need professional knowledge, which is difficult to master. Modern aesthetics can't be ignored either, and a good name based on numerology and mathematics is also not a good name. Let's talk about the aesthetic aspects beyond 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? In addition to numerology and mathematics, it can be summarized in ten words: novel, elegant, subtle, loud and beautiful.
novelty means being unique, unique and not easy to be infringed.
elegance means being respectable in outlook, amiable in reading, lovely in calling, delicious in taste, and free from vulgarity.
Implication means deep artistic conception and rich connotation, which accords with the virtue of righteousness.
Loud means pleasing to the ear, smooth, eye-catching and melodious.
Beauty in form means that it conforms to aesthetic principles, with well-arranged structure, well-proportioned strokes and full of vitality.
the conception of "Hua Dian"
Literati of all ages like to use allusions in literary works and songs. The implication, elegance, persuasiveness, expressiveness and allusions in Dong's poems refer to meaningful stories and words with sources in Chinese classics. Using allusions is one of the cultural traditions of our country, and it is also one of the important ways to improve the cultural and aesthetic quality of names.
Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, got his name from "I am good at nurturing my noble spirit" in Mencius Gongsun Chou. The noble spirit refers to the pure, broad and strong temperament, and Wen Tianxiang also has a poem saying, "It is the majestic spirit that will last forever. When it runs through the sun and the moon, life and death will be fixed!" It is about the spirit of awe-inspiring: "Those who are in awe-inspiring condition are the righteousness of heaven and earth."
Zheng Banqiao, a famous painter, poet and calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, got his name from Yang Liuzhi written by Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty: "There are thousands of willows in a spring river, and the old slab bridge was built twenty years ago. I once said goodbye to the beauty bridge, and I hate that there is no news to this day. " 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 and contemporary times also skillfully use allusions when naming their names, which has played a powerful role in promoting the application of this method.
For example, if Zhu Ziqing's name comes from "Better to be honest and upright than to be self-clean" in Chu Ci Bu Ju? Show that you want to be an innocent and self-respecting person, with integrity and self-discipline. Indeed, as the name implies, Zhu Ziqing was honest and innocent all his life, especially in his later years when he was poor and ill. However, he refused to eat the flour dropped by American soldiers when he starved to death in Ningbu, thus maintaining the national integrity and backbone of China people. Another example is Mr. Wang Chaowen's name from "The Analects of Confucius in Liren": "If you hear the Tao, you will die in the evening." It means to know the truth in the morning to seek the truth in a desperate spirit. Mr. Chu Tunan's name comes from Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Ji: Dapeng flies from Beiming. "No clouds, responsible for the sky and then the south, and suitable for the south." "Tunan" represents a set lofty goal.
Xie Bingxin and Shen curling. "Bing Xin" and "Curling" are from at hibiscus inn parting with xin jian by Wang Changling, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: "Friends and relatives in Luoyang are like asking each other, and a piece of Bing Xin is in the jade pot". Bing Xin 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 in appearance and noble in character.
Hu Qiaomu, the "tree" comes from Logging in the Book of Songs: "It comes from the valley and meanders in the tree." Trees refer to pine, cypress, poplar, birch and other trees with tall trunks. These trees all symbolize tenacious will and noble personality.
Liu Baiyu, "Bai Yu" comes from "Cold Melody" written by Lu Lun in the Tang Dynasty: "and next morning he finds his white-plumed arrow, pointed deep in the hard rock." White heart, an arrow with white feathers on its stem, here refers to a sharp arrow that can shoot through bluestone, showing strong power.
From the above examples, we can see that there are two tendencies in allusion aliases. The first is to use its original intention, and the second is to use the "code" to give new ideas or new uses to old words, and to use words in reverse.
The former are Meng Haoran, Yang Shizhen, Wang Chaowen, Zhu Ziqing, etc., while the latter are Chu Chupai, Hu Qiaomu, Liu Baiyu, Weiyang, Deng Sanmu, Wang Renzhong, etc. These two tendencies have different ideas and different emphases, but the expression effect is the same. The allusion of the former itself expresses the thoughts and meanings that the owner wants to express, while the allusion of the latter expresses the thoughts that the owner wants to express through "reuse", that is, after extension, which reflects the owner's value orientation, outlook on life, world outlook, attitude towards things and career orientation, which is intriguing and profound. For example, the word "arbor" is intended to be a tall tree in the allusion, and it is extended to a tall personality when used in the name. Another example is that the original meaning of "loose wood" in the allusion is useless material, and the owner's name of loose wood shows the virtue of humility and initiative, which is a natural expression of personality.
idiom conception
Skillful use of idioms is a method of naming idioms by processing and transforming them, that is, introducing the naming method of idioms. The use of idiom names has ornamental value, practical value and aesthetic value, is tasteful, catchy and profound, and gives people a sense of beauty.
Idioms are established phrases or phrases, most of which are composed of four words. About 17, idioms are collected in the Dictionary of Chinese Idioms. This amount is considerable, and it is a "treasure house" that can be used and developed for naming.
Idioms in names can't be applied as a whole, but they can be transformed and used according to their meanings. There are three main ways to introduce idioms into naming after proper transformation:
The first one is abbreviated. That is, the whole idiom is compressed and transformed 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: rather critical. When you see a leaf falling, you know that autumn is coming. This metaphor has keen insight, and we can see the development trend of the whole situation from some subtle signs.
auspicious days: that is, "auspicious days", good people will get protection and help from heaven, and this name has a deep blessing for their owners.
Vance year: that is, "1 million Vance years". Describe the infinite long-term era, there is a long time to come, and I will search up and down.
the second is the outline style, in which idioms are expressed in a few key words.
such as Liu Haisu: a drop in the ocean; Cheng Siyuan: Thinking of drinking water; Mao Zhiyong: Apply what you have learned; Zhu Xinxiang: a fragrant prayer, etc. This form is random, and there is no special requirement for surnames.
Yan Tingli, a native of Jinan, Shandong Province, Han nationality, is a former master of Dhamma, aged 4. I have been studying the geomantic omen of Zhouyi for more than 2 years since I was a child, and I am good at naming, spelling, spelling design, etc. In the last two years, I have painstakingly created the design technology of Wangtu (Wangtu), and advocated the word "sincerity" all my life. I want to be honest, be sincere in doing things, and be honest in doing business. The meaning of the word "sincerity" is: 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 the development history of modern Yijing, the discussion of contemporary Yijing, the study of architectural geomantic omen, and the psychology of word-splitting prediction.
The third type is homophonic, that is, using the above two methods to replace the original words in idioms with homophonic words as needed. For example, as follows:
Zhong Zhicheng: "Bell" means "unity is strength", and everyone works together as strong as a city wall. It is a metaphor that everyone is sincere and United, and the Lord can overcome difficulties and achieve success.
Shen Lixing: "Shen" means "practice", experience it personally and practice hard, which shows the master's practical attitude.
Feng Ganyu: "Feng" means "rain comes after rain for a long time", which means that what you have been longing for has been satisfied.
Xin Hua Fang: "Xin" means "be elated", which means very happy.
We should 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 it at a glance, and ambiguity or misunderstanding cannot occur. Second, the idioms chosen should be suitable for naming, elegant and popular, elegant and understandable, and have positive significance. There is such an episode in the TV series "Sixteen-year-old Flower Season": a girl surnamed Zhang wants to take a four-word name, and her roommate's friend gives her a name: "dancing with her teeth", which makes everyone laugh. While we disagree, we can get the enlightenment that the name should be "elegant" For another example, a person with a surname of "Huang" had better not be named "Huangliang Dream", because the idiom "Huangliang Dream" means that the good thing he wants to achieve will come to nothing. Look, such a name will somewhat disappoint himself and leave others with a laughing stock, so it is better to stay away.
homophonic conception
The so-called homophonic Xingyi conception method is a kind of conception method and skill, which can use pronunciation as a bridge to express the semantics of the second word with the font of the first word, or express the semantics of the first word with the font of the second word. As early as in ancient China, there has been a saying of "borrowing words under disguise", that is, borrowing the form of A word to express the meaning of B word. Homophonic Xingyi is the flexible use of borrowed words, and the principles of the two are the same. The "homophonic form" in grammar mentioned above is one of the methods of naming homophonic Xingyi.
There are two main ways to name Xingyi in homophonic: one is the homophonic surname, such as Liu (staying in Qingshan), He (river) thinking about the sea, Zhu (pearl) full of courtyards, Song (singing) about peace, Yao (going far), Tan (talking about heaven and earth, Ai (loving) agriculture and Gong (* * *). Second, the names are homophonic, such as Ma Xin (new) clothes, more respectful (people), Li Gongpu (servant), and so on.
In general, only one homophonic word is used in a name, so as to be vivid and concentrated, as in the above example. But sometimes because of the need of word formation, you can occasionally choose two homophonic words to name it. Such as Li Yuanchao (aid Korea) and Deng Geming (revolution), but these names with two or more homophonic characters already have their double meanings, that is, the original meaning and homophonic meaning.
This method of naming names 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. The following two points should be paid attention to when using homophonic method: First, the choice of homophonic words should be carefully considered, and names should not be ugly or bring negative and indecent meanings.
such as "Yao Peiqian", the concept of this name originally took the meaning of "to cultivate the virtue of modesty and studiousness". However, if you listen carefully to this name, you will find that the word "Pei" is homophonic with the word "compensation", while the word "Qian" is in harmony with the word "money", so it sounds very much like "losing money", and this 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 "injury". This is the bad effect caused by poor consideration. Therefore, when we use homophonic Xingyi method to name names, we must repeatedly scrutinize and strictly control them to prevent negative effects.
the second is to master the law of homophonic Xingyi, that is, when the original meaning is adopted and when homophonic is used 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.
The five elements are named
Five elements, which refer to five material elements, namely, water, fire, wood, gold and earth. According to Yin and Yang experts in ancient naive materialism, China, these five substances are the origin and basis of all things.
The five elements coexist: wood makes fire, fire makes soil, soil makes gold, gold makes water and aquatic wood;
the five elements are mutually compatible: water equals fire, fire equals gold, Jin Kemu, Muketu and Tuke water.
The theory of five elements interacting with each other has simple materialistic and dialectical factors, which has played a great role in the development of astronomy, almanac and medicine in China. Up to now, the theory of five elements is still used in traditional Chinese medicine 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 soil, the lung belongs to gold, and the kidney belongs to water, etc. In addition, Chinese medicine also uses the theory of five elements to explain the mutual relationship between viscera, such as the liver can make cards, which is called muketu; Spleen can nourish lung, which is called "native 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".
the meaning of naming
after the five elements of the word are determined, it should be divided into the combination of monarch, minister and guest, and the combination of the five elements of the name named by Zhouyi takes the surname as the guest; This is the same reason that the Japanese in the eight-character character is the master and the rest are the guests. The five elements in the name don't like grams but only like life. It is used in conjunction with the eight-character character character, and grams will reduce their strength and lead to bad luck. We should pay attention to the following aspects when naming the Zhouyi:
1. It conforms to personal numerology, that is, we choose our favorite gods through fate, that is, the five elements of remedy that people say, and then combine them according to personal favorite words;
2. It conforms to the Book of Changes theory, and its implication is to achieve the balance of yin and yang (that is, neutralization); Neutralization is two concepts, which are just right and appropriate (which means that the five elements stop evenly and the circulation is endless), and from the right and appropriate (which means that harmony is smooth and should not be rushed).
3. Conforming to the shape, meaning, pronunciation, image acquisition and yi Li means that the words used in the name should not be uncommon and difficult to recognize, and should be conducive to writing and identification, nor should they have homophonic sounds, which will cause bad reverie. In addition, a name should have a good meaning, because the name has a suggestive function, and a positive name can always give people a feeling of vigor and vitality;
4. It conforms to the ternary configuration, which is also commonly known as the weather, geographical location and human harmony. The intention is to knead all these three good fortune into the name, so that the name generated can play a role in increasing luck;
5. In line with personal style and personality, the name should be chosen according to my personality information, try to make up for the disadvantages in my personality, highlight my own advantages, and avoid the same name as the same sex in the family, especially the elders;
6. The images of the Book of Changes contained in the name should be auspicious, so as to avoid the conflict between the names and the five elements.
7. The names given should avoid the conflict of family names. Ask for customers' opinions, analyze according to customers' favorite words, and screen out the words that are beneficial to children's lives to combine names.
8. Conforming to phonology and phonology means that a good name should be bold, catchy, pleasant to remember, because psychologically speaking, the name is called the first cause effect, which gives people the first impression, and a good name is easy to make others feel good about themselves;
9. The name is rich in national traditional culture.
1. The beautiful font of the name is beneficial to the signature design.
