Not a dictionary entry: what the character has meant in Chinese names, with the original line it comes from. Every quotation below is matched character-for-character against a versioned corpus shipped with this site. Where a page names a character's origin, that line is our own paraphrase of the standard dictionaries — it is not a quotation, and it carries no book title for that reason.
桃之夭夭，灼灼其华。
The peach tree, young and full of life — how brilliantly its flowers burn.
皇皇者华，于彼原隰。
Bright, bright are the flowers, out on the plains and lowlands.
浴兰汤兮沐芳，华采衣兮若英。
Bathed in orchid water, perfumed — dressed in brilliant robes like a flower.
Blossom and lustre: something is growing, and it shows.
「华」是盛开与光华——有东西正在长出来，而且看得见。
A Chinese name is not two decorative symbols. For every character: what it means, which of the five elements it belongs to, how many strokes it takes to write, and how often it actually appears in 1,142,000 real Chinese names.
Mandarin is tonal: the same letters said on a different pitch are a different word. The line below is the pitch you actually travel while saying the name.
We checked it against a corpus of 1,142,000 real Chinese names — this is not a combination invented for the page.
A lightweight model scores the name on five dimensions — without your birth chart. The full version re-scores it against your chart, explains every deduction, and shows every candidate it considered.
illustrious and clear · blossom, lustre — taken as one scene rather than three separate definitions.
The cards are rendered with real calligraphy fonts — the name is written, not drawn by an image model, so it can never be misspelt.
You have just seen what every character means, which element it belongs to, its source, and how many real people are actually called this. What Orient Pro adds is judgement: it casts your (or your child's) birth chart, screens every candidate character against it, and gives you the five-dimension score with every deduction explained, all the candidate names it considered, a printable report and a poster.
