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.

春chūn · B
tier B

四季之首;回暖、生发的季节。

Spring — the season when warmth returns and things start growing again.

春日载阳 Warmth coming back

春日载阳,有鸣仓庚。

In the spring days the warmth returns; the orioles begin to call.

诗经 · 七月 · our translation
The first line of spring in an agricultural calendar: warmth returning, birds calling. 春 in a name is that return, not a calendar entry. 《七月》写农事历,这是春天开始的那一句:太阳回暖,黄鸟开叫。名字里的「春」是这一层——不是季节名,是回暖。
春日春阳阳春春和春晖景春春晓
In a name

The turn toward warmth, rather than flowers.

「春」给名字的是回暖的那一下,不是花。

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」。

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.
