How to get an authentic Chinese name?

Unlike direct translation, an authentic Chinese name must align with your BaZi birth chart and the Five Elements. MingShu uses AI trained on classical literature to generate names that satisfy four dimensions: Sound, Form, Meaning, and Element.

What is a Chinese Seal (Chop)?

A Chinese seal (印章, Yìn Zhāng) is a carved stamp used as a mark of authority and identity for over 3,000 years. MingShu generates a digital seal in traditional seal script to complete your Chinese identity.

What is BaZi and how does it affect my Chinese name?

BaZi (八字) maps your birth date and time into four pairs of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, revealing which of the Five Elements are strong or weak. Your Chinese name is crafted to balance these elements.

Why can't I just use Google Translate for a Chinese name?

Google Translate produces phonetic transliterations (e.g., David → 大卫) with no cultural meaning, elemental balance, or tonal harmony. An authentic Chinese name requires consideration of birth chart, classical literature, and calligraphic form.
