Po Forename Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The term 'po' in ancient Chinese culture is associated with the soul, particularly the aspect related to brightness, whiteness, and the changing phases of the moon. Hu Shih notes that 'po' etymologically means 'white, whiteness, and bright light.'
In the context of ancient beliefs, the changing phases of the moon were seen as symbolic of the periodic birth and death of the soul or its 'white light.' This association between the soul (po) and the growing light of the new moon was deeply rooted in ancient Chinese cosmology and beliefs.
