Frequently asked
- Does 23 mean the same thing in every pillar?
- The table reads the stroke count alone, regardless of pillar. But the same “Very auspicious” carries different weight depending on where it lands — the human pillar is read as the core of character, the total pillar as the fortune of a whole life.
- What kind of system is the 81-number reading?
- A table that assigns a fortune grade and a meaning to each possible stroke total (1–81) of a name. Korean naming practice, Japanese 姓名判断 (the Kumasaki lineage) and the Chinese 五格剖象 all share the same 81 numbers, but the fine readings differ by school. This dictionary follows the Korean naming-standard wording.
- Does one stroke count decide a name's fortune?
- No. Naming reads the five pillars of a name (heaven, human, earth, outer, total) — each pillar's stroke count and their harmony, the sound's five elements, and the fit with the birth chart. One stroke count is just one piece.
Read the five pillars of your name, its 81 numbers and sound-elements all at once.
