With regards to the relationship and differences between our Name and Bazi, analogies such as comparing our Bazi as a Car whereas Name is like the Road the car is travelling on, Name being the Clothes one wears etc, are common explanations used by many to explain, in layman terms, the relationship and differences between the two.

Nevertheless, regardless of what analogy is been used, the understanding each is seeking to bring across is more or less similar; that is, the difference in the innate nature (本质) of Bazi and Name, and their complementary aspects. Or in other words, differences in 体 Body and 用 Application.

Though much has been said about the 体 Body 用 Application differences between Bazi and Name, one must know that both do have their similarities which are equally significant. One such similarity is akin to a Mirror effect.

Take for example, the case of Hong Kong Singer and Actor Nicholas Tse 謝霆鋒, whose rise to fame begins in 1997 with the launch of his debut album. From his Bazi assessment, it is easy to see why 1997 Ding Chou (丁丑) was the beginning of his rise to fame.

Similarly, from his Name (謝霆鋒) assessment alone, it can be seen from his Name that year 1997 reflects a year of fame for him as well. In fact, with regards to his recent marriage issues and eventual divorce this year 2011, both his Bazi and Name has shown such indications.

Wealth, Fame, Nobility, Relationship etc, are not only reflected in one’s Bazi, but are also reflected in one’s Name. In other words, our Name is like a Mirror to our Bazi. Such similarity is not only significant in the assessment of one’s destiny, but also has implications in many areas, such as in the naming or changing of one’s name.

However, there lies a subtle yet important fundamental difference between what is reflected similarly in both Bazi and Name...Knowing which is then truly destiny management!
