Names based on the five elements and eight trigrams. In the old days, people often used divination to seek divination. In Qu Yuan's "Li Sao", there is a record of naming them after hexagrams. Qu Yuan wrote: "Huang Lan Kuiyu came to Xi for the first time, Zhaoxi Yu was named Zhengzexi, and the character Yu was Lingjun..." Zhao, in ancient times, is commonly used with "Zhao" (see "Book of Rites" Chapter of Notes) ", "Shang Song - Liezu Pian"). Omens are used for divination. In ancient times, techniques such as grilling tortoise shells and animal bones were used to predict bad luck. The cracks on the tortoise shells were called "omens". There is a record in "Yan Ce Memorial" that "Xiang Zhu made a mistake in counting the number of turtles to predict the omen to see the pros and cons." The purpose of Qu Yuan's words is: On the day I was born, my father burned a tortoise shell for divination and gave me a good name. He named me Zhengze, with the character Lingjun. Qu Yuan was a thinker, poet, Ming Ping and Zi Yuan during the Warring States Period. From then on, Zhou Dynasty respected his name by his character, so he was called "Qu Yuan". In fact, Qu Yuan later decided to rename the hexagram "Zhengze" with the word "Lingjun". Regarding this point, he wrote in his "Nine Songs": "The name of the sign is Zhengzexi, and the word for the hexagram is Lingjun." From this we can see that the technique of naming fortune tellers after divination was already very popular during the Warring States Period. However, the most popular ones are named after the Five Elements and Bagua. This method of naming after the five elements and eight trigrams originated from the Yang family’s theory. Even now, in some places (mostly in rural areas of China, Hong Kong and Macao, Southeast Asian countries, and even North Korea and Vietnam), people are still named in this way. So, what are the Five Elements and Bagua? Why do we name them based on the Five Elements and Bagua? The common sense of the Five Elements and Bagua, as well as the origin and ability of the name are briefly described as follows: Named after the Five Elements "Confucius Family Sayings: Five Emperors" says: "The sky has five elements, water, fire, metal, wood, and earth. The five elements refer to the five spiritual elements, namely: water, fire, wood, metal, and earth. The Yang family believes that these five spirits are the origin and basis of all things. During this period, the theory that the five elements mutually generate and inhibit each other (also known as the mutual generation and mutual restraint, the five elements are swollen) was quite popular. Frugal materialism believed that: one thing instigates another thing, or incites each other, that is, "mutual generation", and one thing If it acts to suppress another thing or repel each other, it is called "mutual restraint" (also known as "mutual victory"). The five elements are in mutual restraint: wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood. The five elements inhibit each other: water. It restrains fire, restrains metal, restrains wood, restrains wood, restrains earth, restrains water. In the middle section of "Shuowen Wubu", Yuwu notes: "Water, fire, metal, wood and earth restrain each other and produce each other, which is the yangwu." "The theory of the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements has simple idealism and dialectical elements, and has played a great role in the development of Chinese geography, history, medicine, etc. To this day, Western medicine still uses the Five Elements theory to explain the attributes of the internal organs and their interrelationships. For example, Western medicine It is believed that the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, the lungs belong to metal, the kidneys belong to water, etc.: In addition, Chinese medicine still uses the theory of the five elements to explain the mutual support and mutual restraint of the internal organs. For example, the liver can make cards, It is called wood restraining earth; the spleen can nourish the lungs, which is called earth-generating metal, etc. In terms of recuperation, if liver disease affects the spleen, the recuperation method of suppressing the liver and supporting the spleen is called suppressing wood and supporting earth. Why do we name it after the five elements theory. What? The thinking is the product of society, and the way of thinking of society is always imprinted on the mind. The popularity of the Yang Five Elements theory makes people understand the honor and disgrace in their lives. Misfortunes and blessings depend on the growth and restraint of the five elements, so when naming, we strive to achieve the harmony of yang and the balance of strength and softness, thinking that this way we can avoid danger in life and avoid bad luck. This may be because for thousands of years, people have always regarded the five elements as the actual theory. How did they name it after the five elements? The naming of the five elements began in the Qin and Han Dynasties. At that time, it was mainly based on the naming of the stems and branches of the Shang and Yin Dynasties. In the Zhou and Qin Dynasties, they were named after the five elements. In addition to the "name", it is also necessary to take the "character", so the "name" and "character" are mainly matched with the five elements. For example, the name Renfu of Chu has the character Zi Qianxin, which means water is matched with gold. Water is born from metal, and hardness and softness complement each other. In the Song Dynasty, the name was changed to Fengxing based on the five elements. However, at that time, the lack of the eight characters was not taken into account, and the meaning of the five elements' mutual development was used to name the names as follows: Water is the root of wood. : If the father's name belongs to wood, then the son's name should belong to fire; if fire originates from earth; if the father's name belongs to fire, then the son's name should belong to earth; if earth originates metal: if the father's name belongs to earth, then the child's name should belong to gold; if metal originates from water: the father's name If the child belongs to metal, the son's name should belong to water: water produces wood; if the father's name belongs to water, the son's name should belong to wood.

The Eight Trigrams mentioned here are modern Chinese people’s understanding of the natural image and social image. It has the dialectical identity of simplicity. Nowadays, people regard Bagua as "superstition" or "feudal remnants" because: 1) Bagua was first used as a witchcraft symbol for divination; 2) The limitations of the development of natural superstition and the shackles of horizontal ties, coupled with the complex form of Bagua , making it difficult for people to argue and demonstrate based on it. Bagua actually comes from eight figures with symbolic significance in the "Book of Changes". Each figure is composed of three lines. The consistent straight line "one" represents Yang, called "Yang Yao", and the interrupted straight line "one" represents, called "Yao". ". The different combinations of Yang Yao and Yao are eight graphics, marking eight natural images, namely: heaven, earth, thunder, phoenix, water, fire, mountain, and lake. In ancient times, it was believed that the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun are the most important in the Bagua and are the source of all images in nature and society. In the Bagua, Qian and Kun, Zhen and Xun, Kan and Li, Gen and Dui are contradictory and opposing patterns. Legend has it that King Wen of Zhou Dynasty Jichang connected the eight hexagrams with each other to obtain the ten hexagrams, and used them to mark the development and changes of natural and social images. Interestingly, the core of the South Korean flag is a yang-taiji diagram, with a bright and eye-catching Bagua shape in the corner, which reminds us of the long-standing connection between the civilizations of China and South Korea. In addition to the graphics, the Bagua diagram also has its orientation, which is used to match the symbols of each hexagram. The directions of the Eight Diagrams include Tianzhen Diagram (the direction of Fuxi) and Houtian Diagram (the direction of King Wen). Nowadays, the Houtian Diagram is used: Qiankangen (Northwest) (North) (Southwest) Duizhen (West) (East) Kunlixun (Southwest) ) (South) (Northwest) As mentioned above, Bagua is an ancient form of understanding natural images and social images, and its insights will definitely penetrate into our thoughts. As a result, people in ancient times debated how to use the Eight Diagrams to explain life, and even named it based on this. However, because the Bagua itself is difficult to learn, and the text of "The Book of Changes" is difficult to understand, the naming skills are also different. In the past, how did people get their name from Bagua? Pay attention to the identity of "surname" and "name" in naming based on the Eight Diagrams: 1) First use the surname as the upper hexagram to get the attribute of the surname; 2) Search the ten hexagrams and pick the hexagram with good meaning; 3) Find the hexagram according to the regular strokes of the hexagram Name it with a suitable word.
For example, if a child's surname is Jin, put the surname Jin as the upper hexagram, and the stroke number is eight, which means it belongs to Kun; Kun marks the ground; then you can easily find a lucky hexagram among the ten hexagrams, such as "Earth, Heaven, Tai Chu Jiu Yao" to know the next The hexagram should be Qian, and the name can be found in one painting; find the appropriate word in the nine, seventeen, and twenty-five paintings; for example, if you get the word "Xia" in the seventeenth painting, you can name Jinxia. Test: Jinxia, ??the upper hexagram is eight, the lower hexagram is seventeen, the hexagrams of Kun and Qian are earth and sky; add the strokes of the name together and divide them, and the remainder is one, and we get "Earth, Heaven, Taichu Ninth Yao" ; Check "Book of Changes", it is "Pull out Mao Ru and use it to gather good luck." Note: "Those who get this line will be able to work in harmony with the same Yin when they are in official positions, and they will have a basis for transcending; when they are scholars, they will ask for virtue and have virtues; if they are common people, they can work together with colleagues, and their financial profits will increase." All of the above. It's a happy word, you should have good luck. The name Jinxia may not be auspicious to everyone. The Five Elements and the Eight Diagrams consolidate the ancient understanding of nature. It is not a bad idea to use the beautiful meanings in the names to seek good fortune. However, it would be a big mistake to use the names that have been chosen to match the Eight Diagrams and try to find out the answer to your destiny. .
