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.
乱之初生，僭始既涵。
When disorder first arose, the first encroachments were already being tolerated.
Capacity to hold, before cultivation.
「涵」先是装得下，才是修养。
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.
Catalpa tree; pillar of strength, homeland · to contain — 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.
