The ancients believed that a good name involves a variety of contents, including cultural background, personal beliefs and social development trends. It is particularly important to combine the Book of Changes, the strength of the innate eight characters, the likes and dislikes of the innate five elements, the analysis of the five elements, the human zodiac, and the analysis of the hexagrams in the Book of Changes. The ancients believed that a good name is not only good in meaning, good in hearing, good in aesthetic feeling and good in mathematics and physics of the five elements, but also complementary in strength and weakness of the eight characters, unified in yin and yang, and consistent with the innate five elements. Only in this way can a good name be beneficial to one's life.
When naming names, China people often use some methods to distinguish different generations of the same family. For example, in a name, one word is used to indicate the degree of seniority, another word is used to indicate the meaning of the name, and some people use the same radical in the name to indicate the same degree of seniority.
In ancient China, due to the influence of patriarchal clan system, taboo system was adopted in the use of names. Pay attention to respect-when speaking and writing, avoid the names of fathers and elders; When naming, avoid taking the words or homophones in their names. Although we don't pay attention to these things now, some people try not to take words with the same name or homonym as their parents or grandparents when naming their children. Due to taboos, modern China people still think it is disrespectful to call their elders by their first names.
For thousands of years, many scholars have also studied the strokes of names, and combined them with the Book of Changes to form an independent bibliometrics science. Later, after being supplemented and explained in detail by scholars of various generations, it did not attract the full attention of the world. At the beginning of the 9th century A.D./KLOC-0, Japanese scholar Xiongqi Kenweng made a systematic arrangement of toponymy in China, which was called "sacred learning". Later, it spread to Singapore, Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan Province Province, South Korea and other regions, forming the current famous school, which has been passed down to this day.
At present, the research on naming has become popular in China. There are many naming companies and websites, and there are also many so-called naming masters or experts. In fact, if you want to have a good name, it is not the works of famous artists on the one hand, but the need to collect and integrate all kinds of information.
