起名點滴

人們為了生活更美好，都希望有個好名字陪伴自己一生。
風水大師趙易提供多項服務：算命預測，風水咨詢，公司和個人起名。經他起名、更名的人數超過了2000位，今年是龍年，預計未來的12個月里，將會有更多的人到他這裏起名。他起的名，比較符合中國的傳統命理，並滿足名字的寓意、讀音、字形搭配以及時代感等各種要件。
問：（記者，下同）能否告訴我們，名字究竟是什麼？
答：（趙易，下同）中國有句老話“名，自命也”，這意味着你一生的命運其實與自己的名字密切相關。命運對人的一生影響極大，中國傳統命理認為，人出生的時間不同，秉承的先天陰陽和五行之氣各不相同，其後天的命運也有區別。如果某個人的命運八字中缺了點什麼五行或力量不足，那麼就可以在起名用字加以補充，滿足或恢復五行的平衡，使你的命運更順達。中國風水大師趙易整理本資料風水學上海風水大師上海起名大師取名公司起名房地產風水大師寶寶起名公司取名專家
問：為保證嬰兒的名字元合他的命運，你起名時如何操作呢？
答：我起個名一般需要花兩三天時間。按照該嬰兒的出生日期包括時辰，研究這個人的五行喜忌，知道用什麼五行的字最合適，同時也要瞭解他的天性、命運，考慮他的姓氏等因素，列出可用的漢字。起名的關鍵，其實還在於對漢字的精通，漢字有它們特有的字源、字根、字意等，你要能把握所用之字的五行性質，可惜一般業者把握不好。例如，“天”字的五行屬於金（天為乾為金），“地”字的五行屬於土（地為坤為土，土偏旁的字一般人也知道是土五行），“人”字是什麼五行呢？人秉五行之氣，只有人是五行齊全的，所以“人”或人字旁的字是五種能量都有的混合體，比較平均溫和。我在綜合分析了上述因素後，再進行名字的醞釀、組合，最後我選擇出三個自認為是最合適的名字，讓做父母的最終選用。
問：你如何看待自己的名字與命運的關係？
答：我原來就一直是這名字，和你們一樣，我的顧客也常常問起，有人以為我這是藝名。這是一個奇怪的巧合，我的名字有一個《易經》的 “易”字，我做這一行，人們就有點好奇。《易經》，是一部有關陰陽學的中國傳統文化經典書，我學了它很久。日月為“易”，這個字可以代表瞭解天地或陰陽規律，我的名字既然叫“易“，我也可以說這是命運的安排。
問：到你辦公室來的龍寶寶是不是見得特別多？
答：的確比較多，人們迫切希望生育屬龍的嬰兒（龍寶寶）。然而，許多人被媒體報道所誤導，以為只要他們的嬰兒出生在正月初一之後，就是屬龍的。事實上，在中國傳統文化里，屬相的轉換既不是從元旦開始，也不是從農曆春節的正月初一開始，而是以每年的立春節為標誌。今年壬辰龍年是2月4日18時40分立春後才開始計算的，嚴格而言這之後出生的嬰兒，才能算是龍寶寶。
問：龍寶寶為什麼那麼被人追逐，他們有更好的命運嗎？
答：沒有，真的沒有。人們那麼喜歡龍寶寶，是因為普遍存在強烈的龍圖騰崇拜心理。其實，屬龍的寶寶不一定就比別的屬相寶寶命運好，比如，不一定比一個屬兔的寶寶命運更好。單獨一個屬相說明不了命運，所以最好不要拘泥屬什麼。
問：對起名領域的發展變化，你能作點評價嗎？
答：這個行業有點亂。現在因為信息網絡普及，很多人都上網選擇起名的，甚至到某些提供免費線上起名的網站起名，通過電腦編程，用戶輸入基本信息，就能自動生成許多名字，其中包括很多收費的職業者也這麼乾。這麼起出的名字，有可能是時髦的、電腦評價高的名字，但是，在我眼裡，他們之中很大部分只是毫無意義的文字堆砌，因為你找不到任何這些名字之間五行、讀音、寓意等基礎要素。我對此現象表示某種擔憂。
問：名字之間的區別在哪裡？起名的趨向如何？
答：男孩和女孩的名字應該是不同的，人們應該一眼就能看出名字主人的性別。但由於現代社會男女日趨平等，女孩的名字不再是一般人所習慣的風格。從歷史上看，男孩子們的名字聽起來更強勢，女孩子的名字則聲音柔和。隨着時代的發展變化，現在的女生名字可能還需要文雅，但不應該是太過柔軟的，這叫文而不弱。
問：是否有孩子的家長試圖影響你的觀點？
答：偶爾也會碰上。一般起名前我都會與客戶進行耐心、充分的交流，多年前曾碰上個女客戶，堅持要求給自己女兒起一個“時髦” 的名字，她說：“越時尚越好。”我就告訴她：“凡事都該有個度，所謂‘時髦’一定是有很明確時間性的，越時尚落伍被淘汰越快，所以起名最好不要比誰的更時尚，雖然我也會考慮一定的時代感，但如果真為她起個網名似的所謂時髦名字，你的女兒長大後也許要責怪我了。”我必須有自己敬業的底線。

NAME DROPPER
Meet the feng shui master who made his name by choosing yours
BY TONGFEI ZHANG AND HART HUGUET HAGERTY
People are living better lives and they want better names to accompany them
Feng shui master Zhao Yi (趙易)offers a number of services: fortune telling, feng shui consulting, naming companies and naming people. He has named and renamed over 2,000people to date and, with the Year of the Dragon upon us, anticipates naming many more over the next 12 months Here, he explains the significance of names, how he goes about choosing them and why
So tell us…what’s in a name?
There’s an old Chinese saying “a name equals your fate,”meaning a name is closely connected with you for your entire life. Fate is the most important thing in life. It is comprised of Yin Yang and the five elements (wuxing).Similarly, Chinese characters also have Yin Yang and the five elements. A person’s fate does not have all five elements; there is always something missing, so the characters in name can be a supplement that fulfills which of the five elements someone’s fate is lacking and restore balance.
How do you manage to fit a baby’s name with its fate?趙易img1.tbcdn.cn/tfscom/T1Kf9RXCNcXXXtxVjX.swf玄空
I spend two or three days studying how the baby’s birth date, hour of birth, family names and other factors all fit together with characters. To understand characters, it is crucial to be proficient with their origins because each character has a root in the five elements, For example, the character for ‘sky’ belongs to metal, ‘earth’ belongs to earth of course and ‘person’ is a compound of all five elements. After my analysis, I make several combinations then finally present my three best choices to the parents.
How do you think your own name worked out with fate?
My name is my original name. It’s an odd coincidence that there’s a character ‘yi’(易) in my name, the same as the ‘yi’ in Yi jing(易經)，the Chinese literary classic about Yin Yang I studied for so long. Furthermore the ‘sun’ and ‘moon’ characters together make ‘yi,’ which represents the universe and Yin Yang. I’d say it’s destiny.
Have you seen a lot of Dragon Babies in your office lately?
Very many, indeed. People desperately want to have Dragon Babies(long baobao龍寶寶). However, many people were misled by media reports and thought as long as their babies are born after January 1,they are Dragon Babies. In fact, in traditional Chinese culture neither New Year’s Day nor Spring Festival marks the start of the Dragon horoscope. It’s actually the first day of spring Festival marks the start of the Dragon horoscope. It’s actually the first day of spring, so only babies born on or after that day are real long baobao.
Why are Dragon Babies so desirable?Do they have better fates?
No, not really. People want long baobao so much because of their intense admiration of the dragon totem. But a Dragon Baby isn’t necessarily better off than, say, a Rabbit Baby.
Besides the Dragon Baby boom, has your business increased with China’s growing economy?
The more powerful our economy is, the more optimistic I feel about this industry. Maslow’s ‘hierarchy of needs’ says people will only seek spiritual needs once their material needs are fulfilled. The name-giving business is both material and spiritual and, thanks to the economy, people are living better lives and they want better names to accompany them.
Has the name-giving field changed at all since you began?
The industry is a bit of mess right now because many people are choosing names themselves with these websites that offer free online naming through computer programming [users insert basic information and preferences and the website automatically generates many names]. The names might be trendy, but, in my eyes, they’re just meaningless because you can’t find any basis for these characters. I’m a little concerned about this phenomenon.
What about names themselves?Have there been any trends?
Boys’ and girls’ names should be different so that people are able to tell the gender from the name. But as the sexes are becoming more equal, girls’ names are no longer what they used to be. Historically, doys’ names sound stronger and girls’ names sound softer, but this is changing with the time. Now girls’ names might be soft, but they should never be weak.
Do parents try to influence you?
Once a client insisted on giving her daughter a very fashionable name, saying “the more stylish, the better.” I told her it couldn’t be trendier than the name I chose and said, “You can’t name her a cutesie weibo username or your daughter will blame me when she grows up.” I have to draw the line somewhere.
