Can traditional Chinese be used in the name test?
Those who live in mainland China must use simplified Chinese characters for name testing, and those who live in traditional Chinese characters such as Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan must use traditional Chinese characters for name testing.
To clarify this issue, we need to look at the principles of various name testing methods.
1. Use the five-element method to test names. This method mainly focuses on the five elements of the character itself and has little connection with the strokes of the character. It can be used in both simplified and traditional Chinese;
2. The Zhouyi hexagram method is used to determine names. This method uses the strokes of the surname to count the upper hexagram (outer hexagram), and the strokes of the name to count the lower hexagram (inner hexagram), and finally forms the hexagram image. Since the calculation is based on the number of strokes, the choice must be based on the language environment of the living area. For example, if you live in mainland China, you must use simplified characters for name testing, and if you live in traditional Chinese characters such as Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, you must use traditional Chinese characters. Name test.
The three- and five-frame profile method is used to determine the name. This method also uses the number of strokes in the name to calculate, so the choice must be based on the local language environment of the living area.
After a large amount of data verification by Futu Tower Yixue staff, using simplified Chinese characters is more accurate for naming in mainland China, and comprehensive reference to the results of both simplified and traditional Chinese is also a common method.
Things change, and words evolve with the progress of society. Our naming and testing should also keep pace with the general environment of society and keep pace with the times.
The calculation method of the ground grid in the five-frame profile method:
Single surname and single name: the number of strokes of the first name + 1;
Single surname and compound name: the number of strokes in the name is added;
Compound surname and single name: the number of strokes in the first name + 1;
Compound surname and compound name: the number of strokes in the name are added together.
