The relationship between Yin-Yang and Five Elements and names
Yin-Yang and Five Elements are originally philosophical propositions in our traditional culture. From a modern scientific perspective, they have nothing to do with people’s names. However, in the eyes of numerologists, yin and yang and the five elements are not only closely related to a person's name, but also restrict a person's destiny in life!
The so-called yin and yang refers to the two contradictory and opposing aspects of all things in the world. For example, Yin-Yang experts believe that in nature, heaven and earth, mountains and water, light and dark, cold and heat, dampness and dryness, up and down, front and back, exterior and interior, water and fire are all opposites; Among humans, male and female are also opposites; among numbers, odd and even numbers are also opposites. These two opposing aspects constitute Yin and Yang. Among them, heaven, mountain, bright, hot, dry, up, front, outside, fire, man, the odd numbers all belong to Yang, and the earth, water, dark, cold, damp, down, back, inside, woman, even numbers all belong to Yin .
Similarly, the yin and yang of a person's name can also be determined based on the actual meaning of the Chinese characters used and the number of strokes. Among them, the meaning of the Chinese character used in the name is also called "reason", and the number of strokes is also called "number". According to numerologists, the "reason" and "number" in a name, like the yin and yang of everything, must have a reasonable combination and balance. If there is a lack of such a combination and balance, we must try to balance it to suit the yin and yang. Basic rules of mutual complementation.
For example, a person named "Wang Fang", based on the meaning of the name, "Wang" generally refers to a male, and belongs to Yang in "Li", but because it is a 4-character, in "Number" "" is yin, so the character "王" is a yang number in yin; the character "fang" refers to flowers and plants, and it is yin in "li", but because the stroke is 7, it is yang in number, so the character "fang" It is the principle of yin and yang.
Generally speaking, the name "Wang Fang" is the most ideal in the eyes of numerologists. name.
In fact, it is almost impossible to divide people's names into yin and yang to see whether their logical and numerical combinations are balanced, and it is impossible for people to fully take into account the yin and yang in their names when choosing names. The yin and yang theory matches perfectly.
But numerologists don’t think so. They say that if the yin and yang of a person's name is not completely balanced, try to make it balanced, or try to choose a corresponding name if the yin and yang of the surname is known, so as to adapt to the law of yin and yang balance.
In short, when Yang is prosperous, it is named Yin, and when Yin is prosperous, it is named Yang, so as to complement each other. For example, if a man named Liu is restless and another man named Li is timid and weak, numerologists will think that they have too much yang energy or too much yin energy. When naming them, they should be named Liu. For those whose surname is Li, choose a name that is yang (such as Shan, Qing, Long, etc.).
"Tai Chi Pictures" written by Zhou Dunyi in the Song Dynasty of China well clarified the basic principles of yin and yang. There is a description like this: "Wuji is Tai Chi. When Tai Chi moves, it generates yang, when it moves, it becomes still, when it stays still, it generates yin, and when it stays still, it moves again. One movement and one stillness are the roots of each other. Yin and Yang are divided into two parts, and the two instruments stand together. "Yin and Yang" (yin and yang) interact with each other to transform all things. All things are born and change endlessly. This passage is somewhat abstract for modern people to understand. In fact, yin and yang are a pair of categories in ancient Chinese philosophy. The initial meaning of yin and yang is very simple, indicating the direction of the sun, facing the sun is yang, and facing away from the sun is yin. Later, it was extended to mean the cold and warmth of the climate, the direction of up and down, left and right, front and back, and the movement and stillness of the movement state. Ancient Chinese philosophers further realized that all phenomena in nature are in mutual opposition and interaction, and used the concept of yin and yang to explain the two opposing and mutually increasing material forces in nature, and believed that the opposition and interaction between yin and yang The growth and decline is inherent in things themselves, and it is further believed that the opposition and growth and decline of yin and yang are the basic laws of the universe. Generally speaking, everything that is vigorously moving, outward, rising, warm, and bright belongs to Yang; everything that is relatively static, inward, descending, cold, and dark belongs to Yin.
After understanding the basic principles of yin and yang, you need to understand the relationship between names and yin and yang. Only by understanding the relationship can you evaluate whether a name conforms to the scope of yin and yang theory. Names originate from people. People must be endowed with the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth. The two qi of yin and yang interact with each other so that life can be produced. Since the name is a potential influencing factor within the person himself, it must also conform to the yin and yang energy in order to affect the root of the person. So what is yang and what is yin in a name? Since we know that yang is active and yin is quiet, then the surname is the basic element, passed down from the ancestors, and the ancestors have long determined the elements, so it can be understood as yin. The name is something that can be changed, which can be understood as Yang. Since the yin and yang attributes of a name have been determined, the name has yin within yang and yang within yin. Since yin and yang promote the movement and change of things, naming must be combined with the yin and yang's energy of reincarnation and renewal to determine the origin and quality of the name. Once you know how the yin and yang of a name work, you can name it.
