意义 | Interpretations
为什么纹章中要包含日、月、海、狮子、火焰这些元素呢？
这要从我们的名字说起。我的名字中有”海”和“明”，而明字左边是日，右边是月，所以从海中共同升起的太阳和月亮代表了“海明”。
Leo的名字中有“浩”，“浩”的本义是指水势浩大。所以纹章中大的海浪纹是对“浩”的表现。Leo的名字中有“然”，其本义为火焰、烧、将猎获的动物烤熟了吃。狮子背上的火焰是对“然”的表现。Leo在拉丁语中是狮子的含义，它也是黄道十二宫中狮子座的名称，狮子座群星像一头卧狮。纹章中的狮子是对“Leo”的表现。
Why the seal contains elements of the sun, the moon, sea, lion and flames?
They all trace back to our names. In my chinese name, there are characters “海” and “明”。For “明”, the left side is “日”，which means the sun; and the right side is “月”，which means the moon. Thus the rising sun and moon from the sea is a representation of my name “海明”。
Leo’s chinese name has character “浩”. “浩” in chinese means great water that produces huge sounds. The big waves in seal is to represent this. Leo’s chinese name also has character “然”，which means flames, burning, roasting harvest animal. The flame on lion’s back is to represent this. Leo is name of 5th constellations of the zodiac, and its name is Latin for lion and depicts a crouching lion of the constellation. The lion in the seal is to represent “Leo”.
