Five-Grid (五格剖象法) method for analyzing Chinese name numerology
本工具基于五格剖象法(Wu Ge),通过分析中文姓名的笔画数来推算姓名的吉凶和五行配置。
This tool uses the Wu Ge (Five-Grid) method to analyze Chinese name numerology through stroke counts, determining the auspiciousness and Five Element configuration of a name.
五格剖象法由日本学者熊崎健翁于20世纪初创立,后迅速被华人世界采纳并融入中国传统命名文化。该方法将姓名的笔画数按照特定规则分配到五个"格"中:天格(代表祖运)、人格(代表主运)、地格(代表前运)、外格(代表副运)、总格(代表后运)。
The Wu Ge Five-Grid method was developed by Japanese scholar Kumazaki Kenō in the early 20th century and quickly adopted in Chinese naming traditions. It assigns name strokes to five grids: Tian Ge (Heaven — ancestral fortune), Ren Ge (Person — core destiny), Di Ge (Earth — early life), Wai Ge (External — social fortune), and Zong Ge (Total — later life).
每个数字对应81种数理之一,各有其吉凶含义。三才配置(天、地、人三格的五行关系)被认为是姓名学中最重要的分析维度——相生为吉,相克为凶。中国父母在为新生儿取名时,常常会参考五格分析来选择笔画数,以求五行平衡、数理吉利。
Each number maps to one of 81 numerological meanings with specific auspicious or inauspicious implications. The Three Talent configuration (the Five Element relationship among Heaven, Person, and Earth grids) is considered the most important analytical dimension — generating relationships are auspicious, while overcoming ones are inauspicious. Chinese parents often consult Wu Ge analysis when naming newborns to achieve balanced elements and lucky stroke counts.
五格剖象法虽然源于日本,但其理论基础深深扎根于中国的阴阳五行学说和《易经》数理哲学。它将抽象的命理学转化为可量化的数字系统,使得姓名学分析更加系统化和标准化。至今,五格分析仍是华人世界最广泛使用的命名参考方法之一。
Although originating in Japan, the Wu Ge method is deeply rooted in Chinese Yin-Yang Five Element theory and I Ching numerology. It transforms abstract metaphysics into a quantifiable numerical system, making name analysis more systematic and standardized. Today, Wu Ge analysis remains one of the most widely used naming reference methods in the Chinese-speaking world.
Enter Chinese characters. If the name is one word (e.g. "张伟"), type it all together — the surname is assumed to be the first character(s).
