What Makes a Chinese Name “Authentic”?

A proper Chinese name is not a letter-by-letter transliteration. It follows classical naming principles: the surname (姓) comes from the real Hundred Family Surnames (百家姓), while the given name (名) is chosen so its sounds echo the phonetics of your native name AND its characters carry positive, elegant meanings drawn from classical Chinese poetry and philosophy. The result reads like a name a native speaker could actually have.

5 Classical Calligraphy Styles

• Small Seal Script (小篆) — Qin Dynasty stone inscriptions; archaic, balanced, ceremonial.
• Han Clerical Script (汉隶) — Han Dynasty stele script; dignified “silkworm head, wild-goose tail” strokes.
• Yuan Regular Script (元楷) — Regular script in the tradition of master Zhao Mengfu (赵孟頫); clear and refined.
• Semi-Cursive Script (行书) — The flowing style of sage Wang Xizhi (王羲之)， natural and expressive.
• Wild Cursive Script (狂草) — The dramatic brushwork of sage Zhang Xu (张旭)； bold and artistic.
