What each character carries 逐字小传

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.

正zhèng · B
tier B

端正;改正;正名。

Upright — and to set upright.

必也正名 Getting the names right

必也正名乎!

It would have to be the rectification of names.

论语 · 子路篇 · our translation
Asked what comes first in government, Confucius says: get the names right. 子路问为政先做什么,孔子答:先把名分正过来。名字里的「正」,这一层最实在——先把事情叫对。
正名中正正之正明守正
In a name

Calling a thing by its right name, first.

「正」是先把事情叫对。

引文校验:1/1 条在语料库中逐字命中(论语 · 孟子 · 大学 · 中庸 · 诗经 · 楚辞 · 全唐诗)。 没有可靠原典的字,我们宁可写「没有」。

How it sounds 怎么念

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.

Is it a real name? 有多真

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.

Meaning and scores are computed from our own character library and a deterministic nameology model — no AI guessing.
