There exist many
similar name phonetics :
Perturbations in language can be phonetics [sounds] and morphics
[shapes];
all
languages have this as variations and dialects. This can be deliberate; as done by speakers and singers to 'enhance' the sound-part
and it can be as spelling to 'improve' or to 'accomodate' the dialect. [ie. attempt
to sing a very high note using the vowels: o or a; switching to i or e permits a higher sound.]
Chinese language may be 'almost' one written standard [the recent simplified Chinese
actually undermines this ] but is spoken variously. A social and scholatic 'trick' is the play upon this. The Song Dyansty
is considered famous for its' poems and poets [ one of them having a name closely to Zhu ji ]. Thus, I and some others
have quesitoned as to why the LiuHeBaFa-named exercise and poems is linked to the Song Dynasty and to the high, prison-like
mountain Hua-shan or Hua-Yo [Hwa-Yue]. Toying with just this name brings out the similar phonetics of 'changing
+ fish' which also is symbolic for the yin-yang concept and this links to 'taosim' which the Song Dynasty was something of
a Renaissance for Taoism and Buddhism.
I will give a caveat here, the phonetic variations [using all possible tones and similar vocals] can issue interesting and
believable subtle meanings which can be accepted as believable; this however does not mean that this was intentional.
Also, the Chinese give consideration to both phonetic similarity [useful for insults] and pictograph similarity in contriving
lucky and unlucky [the number 8 is similar to the pictograph 88 which mimics marital pairing.]
