People often say, "Everything is arranged by fate," then what is "fate"? Can "fate" be changed?
"Fate" is the combination of "Ming" (命) and "Yun" (运). "Ming" refers to the innate, while "Yun" refers to the later. Hence, it is called the difference between "Innate Ming" and "Later Yun." A person's birth year, month, day, and hour, which are commonly known as the "Eight Characters" (八字), is determined at the moment of birth. Therefore, "Eight Characters" is inborn and cannot be changed by anyone, which is the "Innate Ming." A person's name can be chosen through human intervention, which is the part that can be changed in the theory of fate, known as "Later Yun." When a person is born, their constellation, chart, blood type, and "Eight Characters" have already been determined. For those who lack the innate fortune, how can they change their fate? The only way is through the name. For those with good innate fortune, how can they further enhance it and avoid misfortune? The only way is also through the name.
Chinese pictographic characters originate from the natural "objects," and they inherently possess the vitality and spiritual energy. When a character becomes a name or a company name, it often expresses people's wishes and hopes, and it also implies the influence of the universe on people and companies. If names and company names are merely regarded as "distinguishing symbols," it seems that there is no connection between "name" and "fate." Why don't we see names like Liu A, Li E, Zhang Yi, Zhao San? Even names like Sun Jia, Zhou Yi are rarely seen. The view that "name can affect fate" has existed since ancient times. "Shuowen" states, "Name is self-issued." The ancient sage Yin once said, "Form determines name, name determines matter, matter is defined by name." It can be seen that name is seemingly empty but actually real, and it is both real and expressive. For thousands of years, the study of name and fate has been passed down, widely believed and accepted by the public, and for good reasons.
Blindly denying something often leads to self-mistake and mistakes to others. Even if one does not believe in it, one might as well listen to it, believing in its existence rather than denying it.
The understanding of space by people has evolved from one-dimensional space to three-dimensional space. Recently, the scientific community proposed the hypothesis of four-dimensional space. Before it is fully verified, who can clearly state whether it exists or not? How many mysteries in nature remain unsolved? When people only knew one-dimensional space, wasn't three-dimensional space too mysterious?
"Name" can affect "fate" based on the power of "number," "principle," and "sound." Names and words are composed of points and lines, which form the basis of number and principle. In other words, characters are principle and number, representing the spirit. When expressed as a name, it carries the power to influence a person's fate. Ancient people had concepts such as "Heavenly Number," "Number Determines Fate," and "Heavenly Numbers Cannot Be Avoided," indicating that "number" is fate. Fate is "number." People who work hard yet fail to succeed, or suddenly suffer misfortune in happiness, must have defects in their names! If someone asks, "If names can affect a person's fate, then people with the same name should have the same fate, why do they differ in reality?" This is not a contradiction in theory, but rather because besides names, there are also relationships with the "Eight Characters" that influence fate. In fact, fate is the combination of "Ming" and "Name," interacting with each other. The "Eight Characters" are like a person's body, and the name is like the spirit. A strong spirit makes the body strong; a weak spirit makes the body weak. A lasting spirit keeps the body alive, and a withered spirit causes death. This is the relationship between name and fate.
