Naming by Four Pillars



Why people need a name?


Ancient primitive people living in a dense forest in the mountains, fishing hunting, to feed wild animals, the proliferation of growth. Daily communication only rely on 'Sign Language' & 'Babbling', but how about night time? People can see each other when day time. So people need a name to make sure who you are talking with.




After that, people not only have a name and also have a family name. People use the family name to differentiate consanguinity, to prevent incest.




Chinese idiom said; 'fearless in bad destiny, but wrong naming'. Thus, Chinese people devote particular care to Naming.




Since ancient China, people believe that a good name equivalent to a good incantations, they can get the Auspicious Omen through a good name . Stroke quatities and meaning of Chinese words are the most important of the name, otherwise, we can use ID card numbers to instead of it. Furthermore, name is people clothes and hat, elegant clothes may light up appearance.




Preciousness of naming : Creativity

Nowaday, so many western people have their own Chinese name due to business expanding in Asia. And the most of them believe that a good Chinese name is the good start of business relationship, local native may have a good impression (because the foreigner is willing to disolve in their culture) thru it before meeting. Meaningful Chinese names with Auspicious Omen may drive them succeed.

布 = cloth



朗 = light / bright / clear and loud



嘉 = fine / good / praise



Chinese naming may based on the western person's surname pronunciation usually. And use the good meaningful word on it.
