There are countless Chinese characters, many of which have good meanings and beautiful pronunciations, but not all of them are suitable for naming children, such as the Chinese character Chen. There has been a rumor that this character cannot be used to name a child because Chen The extended meaning of the word is the title of throne and emperor, and the connotation is so great that ordinary people cannot hold it down. Is this true? Let me take you to learn more about it in detail.
Why can’t you use the word Chen in your name?
The original meaning of the word Chen is generally believed to refer to the eaves, a deep house; it also refers to the location of the North Star (North Star). Later, it was used to refer to the residence of the emperor, and was extended to the throne and the emperor; it also referred to the Heavenly Palace, where the emperor of heaven lived. The reason why the character Chen cannot be used for naming is related to its extended meaning. There are two reasons why the character Chen cannot be used to name people:
First, the character Chen refers to the supreme authority in ancient times, and ordinary people cannot use it to name people.
It is true that in ancient times, the character Chen could not be used in naming. Why is this said? Because this word was later extended to be related to imperial power, everyone knows the original meaning of Chen. It is generally believed to refer to the eaves, a deep house; it also refers to the location of the North Star (North Star). Later, it was used to refer to the residence of the emperor, and was extended to the throne and the emperor; it also referred to the Heavenly Palace, where the emperor of heaven lived.
As a Chinese, you should all know that in ancient times, the imperial power was supreme and inviolable. The items or names used by the emperor were unique, and even homophones may be considered to offend the imperial power, such as Kangxi's real name was Xuan Ye. Ordinary people could not use this character to name him. In order to avoid this, the dot in the lower right corner was usually removed. The same is true for the character "Chen". Although it is not the emperor's name, its meaning symbolizes ?The place where the emperor lived?, so naming it ?Chen? might lead to death, so ordinary people did not dare to name it with this word.
Due to the influence of history and the lack of understanding of the character Chen, the Chinese mistakenly believe that the character Chen cannot be used in naming in modern times.

Until now, many people believe that Chen cannot be used as a name, as it will be counterproductive and lead to troubles. If the child's destiny is not great, naming the child with the character Chen will make the child's growth path difficult.
