How are the five elements of characters in the "Kangxi Dictionary" determined?
To choose a good name, you must first understand the Bazi and see what the Bazi means. Only then can you choose a good name.
Only when you understand the horoscope can you find the right god, and then you can tell whether the five elements of a certain character are consistent with numerology.
So, where did the five elements of Chinese characters come from? On what basis is it determined?
Looking up the "Kangxi Dictionary", each character is marked with five elements. Its five elements are determined based on the meaning, shape and sound of the Chinese character.
1. Determine the five elements according to the meaning of the characters;
2. Determine the five elements according to the shape of the characters;
3. Determine the five elements according to the pronunciation of the characters.
It is easy to understand the five elements determined by the meaning of the word, but it is difficult to understand the five elements determined by the shape and pronunciation of the character.
The glyphs are determined by the five elements: Chinese characters in our country originated from hieroglyphs. For example, water means drawing a stream of water, and the sun means drawing a circle with a dot in the middle. Chinese characters are evolving, and so are the glyphs and five elements.
The pronunciation of characters and the five elements are determined based on the rhythm, which is more difficult and most people today don’t understand it.
Today people only need to understand the five elements based on the meaning of the word. At most, the glyphs can be understood to determine the five elements.
Now the new method is named based on the strokes of Chinese characters to determine the five elements. 1 and 2 are wood, 3 and 4 are fire, 5 and 6 are earth, 7 and 8 are gold, 9 and 0 are water. Since it makes no sense, I no longer use it.
In practice, it is relatively accurate to determine the five elements based on the combination of the meaning of the word and the prime minister of the radicals, and is easily accepted by people.
Whether the pronunciation and glyphs of the characters can be converted into rhyme or not, whether the glyph matching of the three characters is too bloated, top-heavy, etc., is all in one place.
The following excerpts are some netizens’ opinions for readers to understand on their own.
1. Some people in the so-called "new school of nomenclature" believe that a Chinese character has multiple five elements. The five elements of a Chinese character should be determined by strokes or radicals, or they can also be determined by the number of strokes of the Chinese character. For example, the word "Yong" contains five elements: water, earth, wood, metal and water.
It can also be determined by the number of strokes of the word. For example, the four characters wood, fire, water, and king are all four characters, so they should all belong to gold.
He also said that the traditional method of judging the five elements of Chinese characters is misleading. What is right and what is wrong is discussed again in this post. Hope you friends can join the discussion!
2. The good or bad of a person's name has a lot to do with the good or bad of his destiny. The good or bad of a name is mainly reflected in whether the five elements of the name are consistent with the destiny requirements. Therefore, the attributes of the five elements of Chinese characters must be accurate, otherwise it will be a blind man trying to grasp the elephant.
The five-element attributes of Chinese characters are mainly determined based on the pronunciation, meaning, shape, etc. of the characters in the "Kangxi Dictionary". It is a very complicated issue. However, in the "Five-Gate Anatomy of Names", it is believed that: Wood 1, 2, Fire 3, 4, Earth 5, 6, Metal 7, 8, Water 9, 0. In the "Hexagram Theory and Name Science", it is believed that: Wood 3, 8, Fire 2, 7, Earth 5, 0, Metal 4, 9, Water 1, 6. The two are obviously contradictory, which one is right and which one is wrong?
The author believes that this theory of using numbers to summarize the attributes of the five elements of Chinese characters has no basis. Its method is too simple and lacks scientificity. For example, the four characters "wood, fire, water, and king" are all four pictures. Do they all belong to metal or fire? Obviously wrong, so of no practical use.
3. How to judge the five elements of Chinese characters
The five elements of Chinese characters is a very complex issue. It is mainly based on the meaning, shape and sound of Chinese characters. Waiting to divide and judge. The order of priority is generally: one meaning, two shapes, three tones, and four others. The basic basis is the traditional Chinese characters in the "Kangxi Dictionary".
Some people think that simplified Chinese characters should prevail. The reason is that "Mainland China implements simplified Chinese characters, which is the most advanced culture. Culture is close to life and affects life. Culture is always around us." Not to mention the study of names. Derived from the analysis and application of "Kangxi Dictionary".
Let’s talk about the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in the Book of Changes. It was originally a calendar used to record years, months, days, and times. Today’s information age uses AD to record years. Why not use simple numbers to infer people’s destiny? For example, if someone was born at 08:00 on August 18, 1980, why not use the numbers 1980.8.18.8 to directly infer the fate? We also need to make a horoscope arrangement, converting it into the heavenly stems A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, the earthly branches, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai, how troublesome are they? That's because it's impossible to deduce fate without doing so. In the same way, the greatest influence of Chinese characters on people is ancient culture. Although Chinese characters have been simplified, the original symbols (forms), meanings and sounds still play a role. As we all know, Chinese characters have been simplified many times since the liberation of my country. Which version should prevail? You can't use different simplified character versions to analyze the names of people born in different periods, right?
4. 1. Use word meaning to determine the five-element attributes of Chinese characters
The so-called word meaning is the connotation of the word. Many Chinese characters can be determined from the word meaning. Five elements. For example:
Yi, Fang, Ke, Jia, Jia, etc. are classified into the wood category.
Light, lamp, glare, sun, flame, etc. are classified into the category of fire.
Mountains, rocks, peaks, ground, mines, etc. are classified as soil.
Liu, Lie, Jin, Cheng, Shen, etc. are classified into the gold category.
Spring, Lin, Wen, Fei, rain, etc. are classified as water.
5. Determine the five-element attributes of Chinese characters based on the pronunciation of the characters
(1) Determine the five-element attributes of Chinese characters based on the five tones and twelve rhythms
my country’s traditional linguistics, also known as primary school, includes phonology, philology and exegesis, of which phonology is especially the basis. The study of phonology is divided into two parts, namely ancient rhymes and ancient sounds. The classification of ancient initial consonants is as follows:
1. Five tones
a. Labial sounds: near, parallel, and bright
b. Tongue sounds: short, head, and top< /p>
c. Dental sounds: please, new, install
d. Dental sounds: Jian, Qun, Yi
e. Throat sounds: Xiao, Xia, Mi
Rhythm is an ancient Chinese theory about music and its weighing of things, and it is believed that temperament is the foundation of all things. Ancient musical temperament is divided into five tones and twelve temperaments.
The five tones are Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu, among which:
Gong is a guttural sound. ;
Shang belongs to the dental sound, and the five elements are gold, and its sound is voicing the next time it is longer;
Jiao belongs to the tooth sound, and the five elements are wood, and its sound is clear and voicing in length and height. between.
/p>
The five tones are divided into yin and yang, which change into ten, namely: Tai Gong, Shaogong, Tai Shang, Shao Shang, Tai Jiao, Shao Jiao, Tai Zheng, Shao Zheng, Tai Yu, Shao Yu.
6. Twelve laws:
Among the twelve laws, Huangzhong, Taicu, Guxi, Ruibin, Yize and Wushe It is yang and is called Liulu; Lin Zhong, Nanlu, Yingzhong, Dalu, Jiazhong and Zhonglu are yin and is called Liulu. The two together are called the Twelve Laws.
五音…………Yu…………Zheng…………Jiao………………Shang…………Gong
五音 Notes…………..6……………….5………………..3……………… 2……………….1
Five elements………… …Water…………Fire…………Wood…………Metal…………Earth
Five ambitions………….Fear………… ...Happiness......Anger...Sadness...Thoughts
In joy, the note 5 is mostly used, and in sadness, the note 2 is mostly used.
4 and 7 are just semitones. There are only five basic tones in the universe, namely Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu—1, 2, 3, 5, and 6.
7. Summary of judging the five elements of Chinese characters
Most of the characters have a certain knowledge of the attributes of the five elements of Chinese characters. Very few numbers are indeed controversial. How to deal with controversial words? The first is to make a comprehensive analysis first and then the second; the second is to try to avoid controversial characters when naming; the third is to refer to more authoritative qualitative results, such as the qualitative attributes of the five elements of Chinese characters on major naming websites and the authoritative book "Nameology".
It should be noted that the five elements attributes of Chinese characters cannot be divided by the corresponding body organs. For example, the five liquids corresponding to wood, fire, earth, metal, and water in the five elements are tears, sweat, saliva, tears, and saliva. Can we say that tears belong to wood, sweat belongs to fire, saliva belongs to earth, tears belong to metal, and saliva belongs to water? This is obviously wrong.
The five elements correspond to human organs and are mainly used to judge physical health. For example, if someone is too strong in Wood, he may cry a lot, and if someone is too strong in Fire, he may sweat easily... But it cannot be said that tears belong to wood and sweat belongs to fire...
It is not advisable to use numbers to judge the five elements. This has been discussed previously.
