Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth
In ancient China, the Chinese characters in names were divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth according to the structure of the characters. kind. The name of the five elements comes from the "Book of Changes". If you want to achieve the balance of yin and yang, you need to reasonably distribute the five basic elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The five elements are balanced, and all things are harmonious and interdependent. Therefore, the naming of the five elements has a long historical tradition, which is to pursue the harmony between man and nature.
In some ancient works, the Chinese structure of the five elements is classified.
Basic strokes and radicals of wood type: 丨, Yi, ㄗ, 艸, 三, bow, east, he, household, wood, door, bamboo, melon, boat, etc.
Basic strokes and radicals of fire type: 丿, ㄨ, 忄, heart, fire, Bing, red, light, day, etc.
The basic strokes and radicals of earth type: 一, ㄅ, 阝, 扌, unitary, corpse, soil, chen, ugly, field, gen, mountain, stone, king, etc.
The basic strokes and radicals of the gold type: ノ, 口, ji, knife, Ge, dagger, 刂, jade, stone, pan, gold, west, shell, dui, xin, etc.
Basic strokes and radicals of the water type: 亠, 冫, 氵, 辶, 月, 子, 水, 尔, fish, black, rain, Sichuan, Gui, Hai, etc.
When choosing a baby name, you can refer to the above radicals, but it can also be evolved into a relatively simple and clear one. The five-element "wood" character part can be directly used in the Chinese character containing "wood", and other corresponding analogies can be used. There are relatively few Chinese characters to choose from. As for what the baby lacks in the five elements? Each baby's birth date and horoscope are different. You can calculate it yourself based on ancient books, or you can consult some people who specialize in naming.
Five grids: sky grid, earth grid, personality, outer grid, general grid
The five grids are also derived from the yin and yang theory of the "Book of Changes", but the more complete one is from Japanese scholars Organized.
The five grids are used to infer destiny based on the strokes of a person’s name, and are also based on the relationship between yin and yang and the five elements. Among them, the sky grid represents the fate of the parents; the ground grid represents one's own forward luck (called forward luck before the age of 38); personality is one's main luck; outer grid is one's secondary luck; and the general grid is one's back luck ( Become lucky after 38 years old).
The five-frame name strokes are calculated according to the traditional Chinese characters in the "Kangxi Dictionary", and are divided into single and double surnames, single and double given names, etc. By calculating the number of strokes in the name, adding and subtracting according to fixed calculation formulas, and then comparing it with the ready-made five-square mathematical table, the results are divided into three types: unlucky, auspicious, and half-unlucky and half-auspicious. When naming a baby, you can calculate a name score by calculating the five squares. Generally, a name with a score of 80 is basically enough to meet the standard. If the name exceeds 80, you can basically use it. If you pursue perfection, you can choose a name with a score of 100.
Although many people disagree with the naming of Yin Yang and Five Elements, benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions. I am only providing a reference. The wisdom of the ancients also has its merits, and everyone can make a choice.
