The naming theory of zodiac signs is one of China’s intangible cultural heritages, with a long history and wide spread. In our country, many parents like to refer to the twelve zodiac signs when naming their children. They pay attention to the combination of names and zodiac signs to avoid bad luck and give their children a good name that suits the characteristics of the zodiac sign.
It is difficult to examine in detail when the twelve zodiac signs originated. Earlier written information can be found in the "Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Che Gong": "On the auspicious day of Gengwu, I sent my horse." A relatively complete explanation of the zodiac can be found in "Lunheng" written by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The names of the twelve zodiac animals are recorded in two articles, "Mao Shi" and "Yan Du": "Yin means wood, and it is also a bird and tiger. Xu , soil, its animals and dogs..."
1. What are the zodiac animals?
Birth refers to the year of birth, and the zodiac sign refers to the similarity. The zodiac sign is also called the zodiac sign, the sign is the face, and the zodiac sign is what the face belongs to. The ancients wisely selected twelve animals as the zodiac signs. This is what people refer to as the twelve zodiac signs. The order of the twelve zodiac signs is: one rat, two oxen, three tigers, four rabbits, five dragons, six snakes, seven Horse, eight goats, nine monkeys, ten roosters, eleven dogs, and twelve pigs.
2. Stems, branches and zodiac signs
The number of zodiac signs is not 11, nor 13, but 12. This is not accidental. It is derived from the ancient Chinese stem and branch chronology. The ancients used the heavenly stems and earthly branches to record the year. The heavenly stems are A, B, Bing, Ding, Wuji, Geng, Xin, Rengui, and the earthly branches are Zichou, Yinmao, Chen, Wuwei, Youxuhai. The ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches match each other to form a period of 60 years. A 12-year cycle is also represented by the earthly branches.
The so-called zodiac sign refers to the earthly branch of a person in the year of his birth. That is, Zi is a rat, Chou is an ox, Yin is a tiger, Mao is a rabbit, Chen is a dragon, Al is a snake, Wu is a horse, Wu is a sheep, Shen is a monkey, Unit is a chicken, Xu is a dog, and Hai is a pig.
The attributes of the twelve zodiac signs are: people born in the year Jiazi are in the year of rat, people born in the year of Yichou are in the year of ox, people born in the year of Bingyin are in the year of tiger, and people born in the year of Dingmao are in the year of tiger. People born in the year of Xuchen are in the Year of the Rabbit, Dragon in the year of Xuchen, Snake in the year of Gengwu, Sheep in the year of Xinwei, Pig in the Renshen year, Rooster in the Guiyou year, Dog in the year of Jiaxu, and Pig in the year of Yihai.
3. The six clashes, six harms and five combinations of the zodiac signs
The six clashes are: rat and horse, ox and sheep, tiger and monkey, rabbit and Rooster, Dragon and Dog, Snake and Pig are all in conflicting relationships.
The six harms are: Rat and sheep, ox and horse, tiger and snake, rabbit and dragon, monkey and pig, chicken and dog are all harmful to each other.
The five combinations are: Rat and Ox combine to form Earth, Tiger and Pig combine to form Wood, Rabbit and Dog combine to form Fire, Dragon and Rooster combine to form Metal, Snake and Monkey combine to form Water, Horse and Sheep combine to form Taiyin and Sun, commonly known as "Yuanhe".
The ancients believed that in names, any words "contrast" or "harm" are bad, and "combine" is good. Therefore, when naming, we must try our best to combine the name with the genus to avoid conflict.
4. How to avoid conflict
As for how to avoid conflict, the ancients would pay attention to avoid conflict when naming people born in different years. Instead of using harmful words, we chose similar words as names and summed up a set of rules.
For example:
People born in the year of the rat or the year of the ox should avoid the words "noon", "horse", "wei", "sheep", etc.;
People born in the Year of the Tiger should avoid words such as "Shen", "Monkey", "Ji", "Snake";
Rabbit People born in the Year of the Dragon should avoid the words "You", "Chicken", "Chen", "Dragon", etc.;
People born in the Year of the Dragon should avoid the words "Xu" , "dog", "mao", "rabbit" and other words;
People born in the year of snake and monkey should avoid "hai", "pig", "rabbit" ”, “tiger” and other words;
People born in the Year of the Horse and Sheep should avoid the words “child”, “rat”, “ugly”, “ox” etc. ;
People born in the Year of the Rooster avoid the words "Mao", "Rabbit", "Chen", and "Dragon".
5. Taboos when naming zodiac animals
If we have avoided the conflict between the zodiac sign and the name, then the surname and the zodiac sign of a person should be Under known circumstances, what kind of name is suitable for what kind of surname, or what kind of name should a person belonging to a certain zodiac sign have? Regarding these, predecessors have already summed up a set of rules for naming pros and cons. Let’s take the first zodiac sign “Rat” as an example:
The words that are suitable for naming people who belong to the rat year:
In people's minds, the rat is not a very good zodiac animal. The idioms "as timid as a rat", "rat's eyes are short-sighted", and "throwing a rat into a trap" all have derogatory connotations. But rats have the characteristics of wit, flexibility, intelligence, and humor. Traditional culture also believes that rats have strong reproductive capabilities and survival abilities.
The appropriate words for naming people who belong to the rat are:
① Rats are omnivores and like to eat whole grains. It is advisable to choose the characters with "艹, rice, grain, beans, fish", which will bring good fortune and longevity to the family and prosperous descendants; such as: Li, Sha, Rong, Ruo, Fang, Yin, Ping, Yi, Liang, Jing, Liang, Bing, The characters are Cheng, Ying, Wen, Jia, Sui, Feng, Yan, Gu, Lu, Qian, Su, etc.
② Rats like to make holes as a hiding place. It is advisable to choose words with "口,冖,厶" (representing rest), such as: Tai, Ji, Shang, Zhe, Han, Chao, An, Ding, Yi, Hong, Fu, Yun, Yun, Neng, etc.
③ Rats like to wear colorful clothes and look gorgeous. It is appropriate to choose words with "彡, scarf, tie, show, clothes, and pick", such as: Yan, Tong, Bin, Xi, Shi, Chang, frame, red, pure, Su, Gentleman, Zi, Jing, Ji, She , Fu, Qi, Zhen, Li, Chu, Yuan, Yu, Cai, Shi and other words.
④The rat is the first of the twelve zodiac animals, so it is advisable to choose the words "king, ling, jun", such as: jade, ling, qin, jun, crown, etc.
⑤The rat’s zodiac sign is Zi, and the combination of Shen Zi and Chen can strengthen the luck of the noble person. It is appropriate to choose the glyphs with "Shen and Chen", such as: Jiu, Kun, Yuan, Yuan, Chen, Nong, Zhen, Li, Zhen, Qi, Lin, Yun, etc.
⑥Haizi Chou Sanhui, that is, the three combinations of rat, pig, and ox are the waters of the north. The power of the three combinations has the luck of noble people. It is appropriate to choose the characters with "Hai, Chou, Niu", such as: Xiang, Jia, Hao, Yu, Zhong, Yi, Ju, Sheng, Niu, Long, Te, Mou, etc.
⑦ Rats like to be active at night, and they like to pick up the characters with "xi" in them, such as: Ming, Ming, Duo, Wai, Ye, 夤 (yín), Meng, etc. .
People born in the Year of the Rat should avoid using words when naming them.
① Rat is the son, Wu is the horse, and Ziwu is the opposite. Any glyphs with "wu" and "horse" in them should be avoided, such as: horse, jun, sheng, bamboo (bamboo means horse elephant), xu, etc.
② Zi is water, and water and fire are in conflict with each other. Avoid characters with "fire" and "灬" characters, such as: Lie, Huo, Yan, Bing, Jiong, Ran, Zhuo, Huan, Yu, Xi, Yan, Ye, etc.
③ Rats do not like to see the light, and activities during the day are dangerous and vulnerable to injury. Words with the root "日" should be avoided, such as: sun, xu, Ming, Kun, Wang, Chang, Xing, Zhao, Chun, Chang, Shi, Ying, Jin, Chen, Jing, Zhi, Qing, Hui, Xiao. and other words.
④The sons do not harm each other, that is, the sheep and rats harm each other. Avoid using glyphs with "sheep" in them, such as: sheep, good, beautiful, group, envious, and xiang.
The naming of other zodiac signs can be deduced in this way. The general principle is to connect the name with the zodiac sign, and choose words that are suitable for the life of the animal of the zodiac sign. For example, rats, cows, rabbits, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, and pigs all feed on grain, so you can choose words with roots such as "rice, beans" when naming them, so that you can live a stable life and eat and drink smoothly. Yu. Similarly, people whose zodiac sign is sheep, horse, cow, or rabbit can also choose to have the word "艹" because their zodiac signs are herbivores. In addition, tigers eat meat and dragons love water, so the names should also conform to these characteristics.
6. How to understand the conflict and harm of the zodiac sign
① Correctly understand the conflict and harm relationship
On April 28, 2013, a girl in Guangzhou choked on vomit and died in the arms of her mother, Li Wenjuan. Before that, Jinjin suffered abuse from her mother for seven or eight years until the end of her life. The girl's arms, waist, thighs, and knees are covered with scars. Li Fangjuan said that all of this was caused by the conflicting words of one of her grandmothers.
There was also a laid-off female worker, Wang, who killed her 82-year-old mother with a kitchen knife because she believed the fortune teller's words that she and her mother were destined to be incompatible. There are also male and female friends who believe that certain zodiac signs conflict with each other and that the horoscopes are incompatible with each other, making it difficult for lovers to get married. These are the consequences of superstition and ignorance.
A woman in Chaoshan, Guangdong, believed that her daughter’s zodiac sign was in conflict with her own, so she gave her daughter away for adoption
In fact, the zodiac signs of the zodiac sign are in conflict with each other and do not conflict with each other. The harm to humans does not refer to the conflict between two animals when placed together, but refers to the imbalance of yin and yang and the opposite directions of the five elements. Take Zi, Rat, Wu and Horse as an example. From the perspective of the five elements, Zi (Rat) belongs to Yang Water, representing the north, and Wu (Horse) belongs to Yang Fire, representing the South. Because water restrains Fire, the Rat and Horse are in conflict with each other; from the perspective of Yin and Yang, , Rat and Horse are yang water and yang fire, both of which are yang, belonging to the imbalance of yin and yang. "Stringing, conflicting, and harming each other all have the meaning of restraint. "Restrain" means to restrict or hinder, not to murder.
Even if you think conflict is unlucky, the zodiac sign is just one of the horoscopes, and its impact on a person is very small. The Five Elements are born with restraints and restraints, so don’t worry too much about them. Sometimes restraint is not always a bad thing. For example, if a parent indulges and indulges his child and cannot control it himself, you hope to have a force to restrain him and prevent him from embarking on the path of crime.
②Conflicts can be resolved
If you insist on seeing the collision as a disaster, you can find a way To resolve:
First, try to avoid it. When you are in a relationship and looking for a partner, if you find that there are conflicting zodiac signs, you can try to avoid them to avoid breaking up or getting divorced. In fact, the probability of this is not high, and you have to be six years apart for the conflict to occur.
The second is neutralization through customs clearance. It is to introduce a compatible zodiac sign to resolve the situation between two different zodiac signs. If there is a conflict between Rat and Horse in the family, it can be resolved as long as one of the family members is born in the year of Ox or Horse, because Rat and Ox are combined, and Horse and Sheep are combined. Other incompatible zodiac signs can also be resolved in a similar way.
The third is to adjust the aura. Opposition mainly refers to the imbalance of yin and yang in the aura of the five elements. The aura can be adjusted by placing compatible mascots at home. The ancients believed that this was the most effective way to resolve it.
In fact, any adjustment is an adjustment of mentality. When the mentality is normal, the situation will change according to the heart, and everything will return to normal. Don't listen to fortune tellers.
