💡 Cultural Insight: Naming as an emotional tribute or homophonic metaphor

In Chinese culture, names of shops or creative works often incorporate a specific person's name, an anniversary, or homophones (such as 'Zhen Guan' subtly hinting at characters from someone's name) to express lingering feelings and commemorate a past romance.
