The couplet, a cultural product of the Chinese, is different from that of the West. It is mainly the combination of calligraphy and art that is widely spread in daily life. However, it lacks internalization in everyone’s life; hence, the educational idea of name couplet creations is proposed in this study for the purpose of implementing couplets in one’s daily life. As explained herein, name couplet creations are based on the metrical Tang poetry. Through the use of metrical parallelism and tonal patterns, visual and auditory aesthetics can be produced. Further, when indicating the creation method, the first names were regarded as nouns, which represent the meaning of “self” and symbolizes that all things began with the “self.” During the process, the first second and second sentences are both divided into three parts to produce terms. After completing the name couplet work, whether or not the work was in conformity with the ten principles of Five Stresses and Five Avoidances were examined. As name couplet materials had been scarce throughout the dynasties, if everyone in this generation starts writing name couplets, rich language data may become available for the next generation.
Currently, the academic field has not yet given full attention to name couplet related issues, which means there is still room for interpretation in this study. Thus, the cultural sources of name couplets were first explored. Then the methods and principles of name couplet creations were explained. After that, name couplets to be incorporated into autobiography writing and self-introduction were put forth. In one way, this can contribute to self-promotion and a cultural life may be complemented.
