Introduction to this article: Many parents give their children a good name from the beginning, but later they want to change their children to a better name, or even change their surname. So is it unlucky to change your name?
Whether it is unlucky to change a name can generally be viewed from the following two aspects:
On the one hand, it can be seen from the theoretical basis that leads to good or bad names.
According to the Zhouyi nomenclature, the factors that determine the good or bad fortune of a name include the number, reason, shape, pronunciation, and meaning of the name.
1. Number, here we can directly understand "number" as the number of strokes in the name, including the number of strokes in each character in the name, the sum of the strokes in the name, and the individual names in the surname and the given name. The sum and number of characters, etc., are what we usually call the numbers of three talents and five figures. The criterion for measuring good and bad luck in a number is whether the five elements it includes meet the needs of the owner's eight-character destiny. If it meets the requirements, it will be good, and if it deviates, it will be bad.
2. Principle, that is, the principle of the balance of yin and yang, the principle of the generation and restraint of the five elements, the principle of the balanced circulation of the five elements, etc. This means that if the yin and yang and the five elements in the name can make up for the shortcomings of the yin and yang and the five elements in the life of the host, And it is auspicious if it can meet the balance and circulation needs of yin and yang and the five elements of the destiny to a certain extent, otherwise it is unlucky or bad.
3. Shape, which includes the shape, shape, image, form, and even shape of the Chinese characters in the name, etc. This is based on the principle of all things being similar to images in the Book of Changes, using "image" to determine the good or bad of a name.
4. Sound mainly includes two situations, one is to determine the five elements based on the rhythm, and the other is to determine the yin and yang based on the pitch of the sound. The good and bad fortune of the sound is directly related to whether the five elements and yin and yang attributes of the sound meet the needs of the five elements of the destiny and the prosperity and decline of the sun.
5. Meaning, that is, considering the positive and negative energy contained in the name including its homophonic original meaning, meaning, implication, hidden meaning, etc., and then determining the good or bad of the name, which can bring positive energy. Naturally, it is auspicious, and vice versa.
From the above analysis, it is not difficult to see that in principle, the good or bad luck of a name is not directly related to a person's surname.
On the other hand, look at the reality of changing names in life.
1. Scientific names, pen names, stage names, legal names, etc. are basically all changed. Its purpose is nothing more than to change the trajectory of life and strengthen the positive energy field in destiny. Facts have proved that this approach is desirable and effective. Don’t you see that many celebrities only know their stage names but not their original names? ?
2. As we all know, in ancient times, emperors gave people surnames, which actually meant changing their surnames. The surname given by the emperor is not something that ordinary people can enjoy. It is a kind of honor, a privilege and a kind of treatment. After changing the surname because it was given by the emperor, the status will naturally be higher and the treatment will be better.
3. Changing your name can avoid trouble or even disaster in a sense. As we all know, the current leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, lived in Switzerland for nine years. Reports said that Kim Jong-un and his cousin Kim Jong-chol changed their names when they were in Switzerland. Kim Jong-un's alias is "Hun Pak" (transliteration), and his brother is "Chol Pak" (transliteration). Just imagine, if they had not changed their names at that time, would they have been so stable, free and safe in a foreign country?
