Chinese traditional culture has many branches and origins, including Confucianism, Legalism, Military strategism, Taoism and even calligraphy and architecture, which are all influenced by ancient Chinese philosophy. The naming of traditional numerology is just a branch of Chinese metaphysics. A branch on a big tree is of course no exception. Its theoretical basis and metaphysical logic come from the representative icon of ancient Chinese philosophy - the Tai Chi diagram.
Mr. Zhou Yinchan’s authentic traditional numerology naming
To explain clearly the logic of numerology naming, we have to talk about its ideological origin. The ideological source of numerology naming is the unity of nature and man, What does it mean that Tao follows nature? To put it simply, we humans are an integral part of the heaven, earth and universe, and we must follow and comply with the objective laws of the development of the heaven, earth and universe. Only by following the laws and regulations of the occurrence, development, and growth of the heaven, earth, and universe, and following the trend can we thrive, be healthy, and last long. , will develop and survive.
But how do we know what laws and regulations exist in the heaven, earth and universe? This is the Tai Chi diagram that everyone knows, which was finally formed by the ancient sages and sages after observing, refining, summarizing, and summarizing the vicissitudes of the world, nature, and human affairs. Over thousands of years, the Tai Chi Diagram has been perfected and reinterpreted again and again, but its broad summary The nature, integrity and authority have never changed. It also includes heaven and earth, seasons, radius, direction, rules, time, space, heavenly stems, earthly branches, yin and yang, five elements, etc. And it also contains ancient philosophical wisdom that is eternal and applicable to all countries.
So what is our destiny? Some classmates will say that the birth date is the horoscope. So, students, have you ever thought about what your birth date consists of? Yes, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Where do the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches come from? Yes, it comes from Tai Chi diagram. In other words, the Tai Chi diagram contains the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
The Heavenly Stems are born in Hetu and are square in shape, representing space. The Earthly Branches are born in Luo Shu and are round in shape, representing time (this will be discussed later when we talk about Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches). The He Tu and Luo Shu are harmonious and the Tai Chi diagram is derived. Students should pay attention to the word "harmony", not "unity", and "yan" instead of "act". What is the difference? That is to say, the He Tu and Luo Shu become Tai Chi. Diagram is a process of change, not physical change (this will be discussed in the correct understanding of Tai Chi Diagram). The process of their integration is the formation process of the heaven, earth and universe, so the heavenly stems and earthly branches possess the natural attributes of yin and yang and the five elements at the same time.
According to the theory of one thing and one Tai Chi, the Tai Chi diagram can represent all things in the world, and of course it can also represent our "fate".
We can understand from the meaning explained in the Tai Chi Diagram that the reason why the heaven, earth and universe can last forever and run endlessly is because it has the complete five elements and the balance of yin and yang. The five elements here can be understood as all matter and objects. state. The whole includes what we call perfection, which is represented by the shape of the Tai Chi diagram. The yin and yang here mean that everything has its opposite, and it is because this dynamic balance is always maintained that the entire universe is guaranteed to continue to grow. From this, we understand that the understanding of the Tai Chi Diagram is the understanding of the heaven, earth and universe. In other words, the ancient sages and sages summarized and refined the understanding of the heaven, earth and universe into the Tai Chi Diagram. The principles explained by the Tai Chi Diagram are the truths of the heaven and earth. Of course, one must comply with and follow the principles it explains. As mentioned before, the Tai Chi diagram represents the heaven, earth, universe, and our "fate". However, in reality, after calculation, we often find that our "fate" will show some defects and deficiencies. These defects are either the five elements, yin and yang, or both. This situation means that our destiny is defective, which means that our destiny is not good.
So how to understand the impact of "fate" on people? Mr. Zhou Yinchan has a metaphor. He said that life is like a seed, and our life is like a tree. Whether this tree will grow into a towering tree, grow into a crooked neck tree, or simply die young depends on your seed. It is decisive, and this is the fundamental reason why children who grow up with the same parents and in the same environment have completely different situations. Some children are very smart, very capable, and very courageous, but they work hard all their lives and cannot turn over until they die. This is because of their "fate".
So how to completely balance our already damaged destiny? The ancient sages discovered that in addition to expressing specific meanings, our Chinese characters also possess the attributes of yin and yang and the five elements (the division principle will be discussed later), so , it has become an inevitable choice to use the yin and yang and five elements attributes of the Chinese characters in our names to fill, adjust and remedy our destiny.
The question is, why is the name included in the destiny? When we look up the word "name" in Shuowen Jiezi, we will see that "name" means self-name, from the evening to the mouth, and in the dark, so it is self-named. What does this sentence mean? One is that at night, we cannot see each other and we don’t know whether we are friends or foes. We have to tell each other by our names. There is another meaning that cannot be found in books. "Name" is self-named, which is part of fate (everyone's "fate" contains three souls, the Yin soul comes from the mother, the Yang soul comes from the father, and your name is your destiny. Soul) This is also the reason why naming is also called "naming", and it is also the fundamental reason why children get better once they are frightened and called by their names. In ancient times, the two words "name" and "ming" could be used interchangeably.
Now you understand, the metaphysical logic of numerology naming is to use the yin and yang and five elements attributes of Chinese characters to remedy the child's destiny. That is to say, what the common people say is "make up for what is missing". Let's A child's good fortune is the ultimate goal of numerology naming. As for the principles of calculation, division principles, word taboos, how many words can be carried, etc., we will talk about them later.
Is it really that important to give your baby a good name?
Here I want to correct a concept, or a misunderstanding that everyone has.
What is a good name?
The simplest answer is, of course, that it is good for my child. It can make my child safe and healthy throughout his life. What goes smoothly is a good name. But what most people don’t understand is that it’s not just a name that sounds auspicious or auspicious that can achieve the above purpose. If it’s that simple, what’s the use of calculating horoscopes? Why do you want to have anything to do with the Book of Changes and traditional culture? The simplest thing is to compare, the name Hong Tian Guifu is okay, he was cut into pieces, Huo Qubing means not getting sick, he was 25 years old when he died, Ma Jiajue means being promoted to a noble position, so he should be shot. These people can be found online, so take a look for yourself.
It has been clearly stated in ancient classics throughout the ages that it is not the meaning of the words that affects a person’s destiny, but the yin-yang and five elements contained in the Chinese characters themselves. These yin-yang and five elements are ingeniously and appropriately consistent with the child’s numerology. , so as to achieve a good state of complete and balanced life of the child (good life). Naming is the process of helping your child's life change for the better.
Knowing the name is only important in one aspect. To get good results, you must use the right method. If the method is wrong, it is impossible to come up with a good name. In traditional Chinese naming, our ancestors have a rigorous and standardized method. You don’t just have to give yourself a bigger title. The “masters and experts” on the market now are all fake.
