A name is not only a symbol of a person, but also a mark that distinguishes and connects people with each other. Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to their names.

It was not developed, nor was it integrated with the "Book of Changes" to form a specialized knowledge. Later, although officials of various generations added supplements and detailed explanations, they were not taken seriously and were used as heresies among the people. The method of fortune-telling.

After that, this trend spread in Singapore, Macau, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and other places. , gradually spread to Northeast China and gradually became the name of today.
