My surname is Jiang. I want to name it, but when I look up the word "jiang" on the Internet, some numbers count it as 9 strokes, and some count it as 19 strokes. How many strokes does Jiang count?

Simplified ginger: nine paintings.

Traditional Jiang: Nineteen paintings.

If it is used in naming, because the character "jiang" is innate and cannot be changed, the traditional Chinese characters in the Kangxi Dictionary should prevail. If you do not use the five-frame name scoring method invented by the Japanese (I call it the entertainment method), you can ignore the surname and focus on the five elements and meanings of the following names and characters. The premise is: it is correct to analyze and name based on horoscopes. The so-called five-frame profile scoring by the Japanese is nonsense and is not recommended for reference.
