五行用英语怎么说:Your Chinese Name
编者按:五行中用金木水火土怎么说呢?这些特殊的文字在英语中的解释是怎么样的呢?作者教我们来学着五行知识。
Do you know these characters, especially the last one?
I guess your face might be >_< or 囧 (jiǒng/embarrassed)
How about these: 金, 木, 水, 火, 土? ( jīn, mù, shuǐ, huǒ, tǔ )
It's a piece of cake, right? Even if you are a Chinese beginner, the last row of characters is easy.
When you live in China for some time and make friends with Chinese, it's not difficult for you to find that the first five words are a common component of Chinese names. My eleven year-old cousin's nickname is "Triple Gold" (三金 sān jīn) as his name is Xin (鑫 xīn). This word’s structure is rather special: it consists of a triplet of the character 金 (jīn). A college roommate's given name was also Xin (鑫 xīn). They both carry this second name "Xin" according to the traditional Wu Xing theory.
What is "Wu Xing"?
The Wu Xing, (五行 wŭ xíng) – also known as the “Five Phases”, the “Five Agents” or the “Five Movements” – are Wood (木 mù), Fire (火 huǒ), Earth (土 tǔ), Metal (金 jīn) and Water (水 shuǐ).
In Chinese geomancy (divination practices such as "FengShui" ), if your destiny lacks either of these five elements, you might want to consider simply adding it, and enhancing your name with these words is a useful method. That's why the "Xin (鑫 xīn)" appears in my cousin and roommate's names.
The words at the beginning of this article are the triple structures of the five elements:
Sen (森 sēn) means forest and is the triplet of Mu (木);
Miao (淼 miǎo) has the meaning of "wide expanse of water" and is the triplet ofShui (水);
Xin (鑫 xīn) goes "prosperous or good profit" especially in business as the triplet ofJin (金);
Yan (焱 yàn) is a formal usage of "spark" or "flame" and is the triplet of huo (火)
Yao (垚 yáo) built up of three tu (土) describes a very high mountain.
Once you understand the meaning and the structure of these words, they are not only as easy as ABC, but with their fortune-enhancing properties also very powerful tools for streamlining those elements in your Chinese name! Hey, it's your destiny after all.
