以《易》取名的数理统计与文化透视

古人喜取<周易>命名,这一现象一些学者曾加以注意,但未作深入研究.本文对<中国文学家大辞典>采用穷尽式的数理统计,探求出<坤>、<乾>等16卦为常用卦,其卦彖辞、二五爻辞及<文言>等为常用爻,进而推索卦爻取舍背后所隐藏的价值取向与哲理内涵,提出并考察援<易>取名之宋前少宋后多这一现象.

A mathematical statistics and cultural perspective on the Chinese names from Yi jing

Ancient Chinese people were prone to name their children by some terms in Zhouyi. Some scholars had paid attention to this phenomenon, yet lack of deep research on it. Based on a comprehensive mathematical statistics from Zhong guo Wen xue jia Da ci dian, Great Dictionary of Chinese Literati, this paper sets forth that sixteen hexagrams such as Qian (hexagram 1 in the current version of Zhouyi) and Kun (hexagram 2) are commonly used, and the Tuan (Judgment on a hexagram) of these hexagrams, Wen Yan (a record of commentaries on hexagrams Qian and Kun), the remarks attached to the second and fifth lines of these hexagrams are usually adopted. By this the paper further reveals the hidden value orientation and philosophical connotations and finds out and examines the phenomenon that naming children by Zhouyi occurred less before the Song Dynasty and more since the Song Dynasty.
