Determining the five-element attributes of Chinese characters is an important part of traditional onomastics. How should the five elements attributes of Chinese characters be divided? Teacher Jianshan is good at numerology, palm reading, name change, love and marriage, wealth improvement, Feng Shui adjustment, etc. Next, Teacher Jianshan will take you to take a look. The common angles are as follows:
< p>1. The attributes of the five elements are determined based on the mantissa of the number of strokes of Chinese characters (there is more than one way to determine it). For example, 0 is Yin Water, 1 is Yang Wood, 2 is Yin Wood, 3 is Yang Fire, 4 is Yin Fire, 5 is Yang Earth, 6 is Yin Earth, 7 is Yang Metal, 8 is Yin Metal, and 9 is Yang Water. . This perspective seems reasonable, but it is too mechanical and rigid to simplify thousands of Chinese characters with unique images and rich connotations into 10 numbers to determine the five elements, and the operability is also very poor.Second, it is determined based on the radicals of Chinese characters. This method is simple, intuitive, practical and reasonable. For example, characters such as forest, forest, tree, plum, and ke belong to wood; characters such as river, river, lake, sea, and stream belong to water; iron, steel, money, silver, and mirror belong to gold...
However, the number of such Chinese characters is limited, and there is less room for choosing names. Therefore, you should also understand the five-element attributes of other Chinese characters.
Third, it is judged based on the way Chinese characters are formed. According to legend, there are "six books", namely, pictograms, referring to things, understanding, pictographs, notes, and borrowings. For example, "Sun", the five elements belong to fire, because it expresses the image of the sun. For example, the word "winter" is a knowing word, indicating the end of the four seasons. In ancient texts, winter follows the sun and has the image of the sun, so some people define the five elements of winter as "fire", but I think this is unreasonable and should be more accurately determined based on the meaning of the words, that is, the five elements of winter belong to "water".
Fourth, it is judged based on the pronunciation of Chinese characters. That is, the five tones match the five elements. Palace belongs to earth, Shang belongs to metal, horn belongs to wood, Zheng belongs to fire, and Yu belongs to water. But this angle is not practical. Because the pronunciation of Chinese characters varies greatly from region to region, few people now consider this factor when choosing names. As long as it is pleasant to read and catchy, it will be fine.
Fifth, it is judged based on the connotation of the word. Teacher Jianshan believes that this method is the most reasonable and comprehensive. Because the basic function of words is to express people’s thoughts and feelings. No matter what shape, structure, pronunciation, or number of strokes a Chinese character has, it has a specific connotation, and the meaning of the character is fundamental. So, how to classify the attributes of the five elements from the connotation of Chinese characters? This needs to start with the basic attributes of the five elements.
Basic attributes of the five elements:
Gold means "conformity", which has the properties of: rigidity, strength, convergence, wealth, lawfulness, etc.
Wood is called "brightness" and has the properties of hair growth, organization, stretch, vitality, kindness and so on.
Water is said to "moisten the lower parts" and has the following properties: downward, cold, change, circulation, wisdom and other properties.
Fire is called "Yan Shang" and has the following properties: intense, bright, luminous, rising, passionate and so on.
Earth means "farming", which has the properties of accommodation, carrying, quietness, stability, integrity and so on.
Based on the basic attributes of the five elements and comparing the connotations of Chinese characters, we can divide the five elements of Chinese characters. For example: "Strength, Feng, Zhan, Sheng" and other words have the nature of the five elements of metal; the meanings of "Kang, Sheng, Mao, Ren" and other words have the nature of the five elements of wood; the words "Rain, Winter, Xing and Hua" etc. The meanings of "Yan, Yang, Lang, and Wang" have the properties of the five elements of water; the meanings of "Yan, Yang, Lang, and Wang" have the properties of the five elements of fire; the meanings of "Rong, Kun, An, and Lei" have the properties of the five elements of earth.
In addition, the five-element attributes of a Chinese character are not unique, nor are they static. Why do you say it's not the only one? Some Chinese characters have multiple sounds and multiple meanings, so there may be two or more different five-element attributes. Moreover, after a Chinese character is combined with other Chinese characters to form a word, the attributes of the five elements may also change. For example, the word "Yang" comes from "Fu", which is related to mountains, meaning "mountain south and water north", which refers to the yang of yin and yang, so the single character and the five elements belong to earth. But when modern people see the word "Yang", they can easily think of the "sun", so it also has the attributes of the five elements of fire. In the word "sunshine", there is no doubt that the attributes of the five elements should be determined by fire.
Another example is the word "sea". The five elements originally belong to water, but what if it is "sea of ??fire"? Is it still the five elements of water?
It can be seen that the name of a person or a company is not a simple patchwork of several Chinese characters. It requires professional knowledge of onomastics to pick out a suitable name.
