Choose a profile, enter a surname and given name, and the report counts Kangxi strokes, works out the five grids and Three Talents, checks each grid against the 81-number table, and adds BaZi elements plus the meaning and Mandarin sound of the name. Every stroke count is listed so you can check it yourself.
Four Pillars · Innate blueprint & five-element balance
A common Taiwanese method counts each character in traditional Kangxi strokes, builds five numbers (Heaven, Person, Earth, Outer and Total grids), reads each against an 81-number table, and checks whether the elements of the first three support or clash with each other. This report does that, then adds BaZi elements and the meaning and Mandarin sound of the name.
Chinese name analysis has many schools. The one most used in Taiwan is the Kumazaki method: count Kangxi strokes, build five grids, then read the 81-number table and the Three Talents. Here is exactly how this report does it, so every number in it can be checked.
Strokes follow the traditional Kangxi form. A radical is restored to its full character only when it is the dictionary radical, so 梁 stays 11. The moon radical 月 stays 4 while the flesh radical counts as 肉 (6).
Heaven = surname strokes (+1 for a one-character surname). Person = last surname character + first given-name character. Earth = given-name strokes (+1 for a one-character given name). Outer = Heaven + Earth − Person. Total = all strokes, without the +1. For 王小明 (4, 3, 8 strokes): Heaven 5, Person 7, Earth 11, Outer 9, Total 15.
Each grid number is read as good, mixed or challenging; numbers above 81 drop by 80. The Heaven grid comes from the family name and is traditionally not judged.
The last digit sets the element: 1–2 wood, 3–4 fire, 5–6 earth, 7–8 metal, 9–0 water. Heaven, Person and Earth elements are read in order; support or sameness between neighbours is favourable, a clash is worth noting.

Heaven (the surname), Person (last surname character plus first given-name character), Earth (the given name), Total (every stroke in the name) and Outer (Heaven plus Earth minus Person). A one-character surname or given name adds 1. The Three Talents are the elements of the Heaven, Person and Earth numbers.
In traditional Kangxi strokes, with radicals restored to their full form: 氵 counts as 水 (4), 艹 as 艸 (6), 阝 as 阜 (8) on the left or 邑 (7) on the right; 一 to 十 count by their numeric value. Schools disagree on a few characters, so the report lists every count and flags the ones known to be disputed.
The Kumazaki table as commonly used in Taiwan, taking the majority of five Taiwanese sources (good, mixed, challenging); numbers above 81 drop by 80. Some Japanese and mainland tables read 26, 27, 42 and 53 as challenging; this report follows the Taiwanese majority and reads them as mixed.
Yes. They are converted to traditional characters before counting. When one simplified character has more than one traditional form, you choose which one is meant; the report never guesses.
You can create the report, but there is no published five-grid method for given names longer than two characters, so it leaves the five grids out and still covers meaning, sound and BaZi; the form tells you before you submit. Rare characters with no Kangxi stroke data are not graded on the five grids either.
You choose a profile first. The five grids only use the name. The BaZi comparison needs an exact birth time on the profile; without one, the report says that part is not scored.
No. Name analysis is a cultural reference practice and schools disagree; it cannot predict or guarantee anything. The report keeps the calculation separate from the interpretation so you can judge for yourself.
