About Name and Destiny
-Dunzhe Ling
has given many names and changed many names, and many customers have asked me about the topic of name and destiny. I'll write a few words about it today. First of all, name and fate, don't talk alarmist, this is professional ethics. This is also my first point.
Anyone who is familiar with history and Zhouyi knows that the original creation and application of Zhouyi were not for naming. Naming is not paid attention to until the society develops to a certain extent. Nomenclatologists are derived from the division of labor in modern society.
Modern expectant mothers and fathers generally attach great importance to the baby's name. What about the ancients? In fact, the ancients also attached great importance to it. For example, there is a saying that "one name stands, and the moon lingers". It can be seen that ancient and modern parents are United. The ancients named it as "establishing a name and winning the title". When the baby is born in March, give it a name, and when it is weak, give it a crown. For example, Jiang Zhongzheng, the word intermediary stone. Mao Zedong, the word Runzhi. Zhuge Liang, the word Kong Ming. Du Fu has a beautiful word. Basically, "word" is the explanation and development of "name".
There are many ways to name China, and there are also many factors to pay attention to. But everything remains the same. There are two ways to name. One is the method of "taking justice" and the other is the method of "taking mathematics". The reason is inseparable from the culture of "image, number and reason" in China.
For example, my own name-Wang Yin, which is called by many people, was obtained by my father on the basis of eight characters by "mathematical method". Later, I took the pen name-Dunzhe Ling. I took it myself by the method of "righteousness". Dunzhe Ling symbolizes the interaction of Yin and Yang, the unity of heaven and earth, and the tireless pursuit of moral. I also explained this in my blog.
So is the name related to fate? There must be. Name is the code name and business card of your life, which you use to face the society and everyone. So the name is directly related to you, not indirectly.
So a good name is particularly important. So what kind of name is a good name, and how does the name affect a person? This should be puzzled by many people.
first, let's look at an experiment. A researcher brought a 9-month-old baby to the social psychology class. He made about half of the students think the child's name was "Keith", while others thought his name was "Karen". Then he asked college students to talk about their impressions of the baby, including physical characteristics, classroom behavior and personality. There is no difference between "Keith" and "Karen" in terms of two kinds of judgments that provide direct evidence in the scene-physical characteristics and classroom behavior. Only in terms of personality, compared with Karen, people think that Keith is more active, noisy, active and rude. It can be seen that the name does have a certain influence on a person's first impression on others. The latest research by American scholars shows that having a good name will make people more attractive. Researchers believe that for women, female names with silent voices are the most attractive. For example, "Victoria" is a very attractive name, while "Amy" is boring.
as you can see, the name, as the first business card of each of us, is only a symbol of words, but it has the information energy and the holographic concept of words. A proper good name and elegant nickname should be an elegant culture that keeps pace with the times and is influenced by fashion culture regulations. It should be a pleasing landscape painting and a good poem with concise language and rich connotation.
The above experiment is not enough. Let's take a look at how names affect people from a psychological point of view. Professor Luo Zheng from the Department of Psychology of Peking University said that we all know Pavlov's classical conditioning principle. There are two kinds of conditioned reflex, which belong to the first signal system and the second signal system respectively. The first signal system is people's conditioned reflection on the natural properties of things, and the second signal system is language and writing signal system, which is unique to human beings. Through this signal system, people master abstract things and concretize them through subjective association and imagination.
Take an example to explain: our "eating prunes to quench thirst" is an unconditioned reflex, while "looking at prunes to quench thirst" is a kind of conditioned reflex, which belongs to the conditioned reflex of the first signal system. And "talking plum to quench thirst" means that when people talk about plums, they make a reaction of salivation, but they don't see the real plums, which is the conditioned reflex of the second signal system.
When we talk about names, the association we have is similar to the above example. In the process of learning language and writing, people have closely combined abstract words with real things and established a stable conditioned reflex. Therefore, when mentioning a person's name, people will start with the words that make up the name and have a subjective psychological reaction. If this person's name is associated with something beautiful, people will feel beautiful. And this aesthetic feeling is obviously good for the owner of the code name.
So I think: a loud, elegant and tasteful name will be beneficial to social communication, improve affinity, strengthen interpersonal relationship and career development. This is science, not superstition.
We have explained the influence of names on people from a scientific point of view. Next, let's talk about traditional culture.
To name a China person, one must understand the auspiciousness of China culture and China culture. This "auspicious" transformation is what I said above "a loud, elegant and tasteful name. "This kind of" auspiciousness "is a social environment, and the influence of environmental forces on us is undoubtedly great. "Three people make a tiger", "The language theory of the masses can kill a person." All reflect such a force. And our name, naturally, is to be good.
one person cries good, and thousands of people cry good; One year is good, 1 years is good, your name is called like this, it is good, and its owner naturally benefits. It's like praying, it's like saying good luck, it affects you subconsciously. Maybe you've never considered how your name affects you.
China's auspiciousness is a combination of factors that conform to the numerology and five elements, the mathematical pattern, and not infringing the names of elders. It is such a combination, which can give us good hints and guidance, increase our energy, inspire us to make progress, make us work hard, strive for the upper reaches, and help us succeed in our cause.
So many celebrities, after becoming famous, often spend a lot of money to change their names. We are familiar with the renamed stars. Such as Jackie Chan, formerly known as Chen Gangsheng; Andy Lau, formerly known as Liu Furong; Shu Qi, formerly known as Lin Lihui; Jolin Tsai, formerly known as Cai Xiaoling. I won't give many examples.
many customers will ask me, can changing my name change my destiny? I will tell him: no matter how important the name is, it is more important than myself.
Therefore, it is nonsense to try to change your destiny by just changing a name without hard work. A good name, as I said above, will give you good luck, facilitate your socialization and give people a good first impression. Or it is convenient for you to "promote" yourself, to fill out forms and so on.
So what kind of name needs to be renamed? Personally, I don't think it needs to be renamed if it's not a name with bad ambiguity and bad homonym. Of course, if the economy permits, you can change to a better one.
Take my corrected example: Huang Chong. This is a male name. Homophonic "locusts, yellow worms." Such a name is really worth changing. For example, I have seen the names of two sisters. My sister's name is Zhou Xiangyu. My sister's name is Zhou Xiangyan. Although it is convenient to consider from eight characters, five elements, or five squares and three times, it is not suitable. But they were not advised to change their names.
Because these two names are positive in pronunciation, shape, meaning and overall meaning.
I've seen different names collected by netizens on the Internet. For example, the names of Shi Zhenxiang, Bi Yuntao, Lai Yuejing, Fan Jian, Ji Congliang, Fan Tong, Xia Jianren, Zhu Yiqun, Qin Shousheng, Pang Guang, Wei Shengjin, Jiao Hougen, Shen Jingbing, Du Ziteng and Liu Chan should be changed.
what we discussed above is the name of a person. What about the company name and trademark name? The same is true. The company is also a "person".
This is about the relationship between name and fate. I believe that after reading this, you have been able to objectively understand the knowledge of names.
There are many people who want to learn the name and ask me how to learn it. What I want to tell you is that naming is easy to learn but difficult to master. There is a lot of knowledge to master. And internationalization has arrived. It is difficult to choose a name that is in line with China's "auspiciousness" and foreign countries' "auspiciousness", but also to avoid other people's registration. I think this is also one of the reasons why we scholars can gain a foothold in the industry.
Finally, I hope you can get what you want to read from this. I wish you good health and good luck.
