Why it works

清泉 (Qīng Quán) is a classical Chinese given name. 清 means clear, pure; 泉 means spring, fountain; wealth, money. It comes from Tangshi Sanbaishou (唐詩三百首) / Three Hundred Tang Poems, where the text reads “山居秋暝:明月松間照,清泉石上流” — The bright moon shines among the pines; a clear spring flows over the stones. It is calm and clean, with a strong natural image. It is a literary name rather than a common modern choice; check the full name aloud with your surname.

Sound

The pinyin is Qīng Quán. Say it slowly, then at normal speed. If a tone feels difficult, practice the syllable alone before putting the full name together. A Chinese speaker will usually understand an imperfect tone in context, but the closer you get, the more natural the name feels.

How to introduce it

“My Chinese name is 清泉. 清 — clear, pure; 泉 — spring, fountain; wealth, money.”

A common full-name pattern would be 李清泉 (Lǐ Qīng Quán), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
