Gou Sheng has many meanings. In traditional Chinese farming culture, dogs are a very important livestock. Dogs can guard homes and courtyards and protect the safety of family members; at the same time, dogs can also help people hunt and herd sheep, and are powerful assistants in agricultural production. Incorporating the word dog into the name actually places parents' expectations on their children's health, loyalty, and bravery.

Gou Sheng has two meanings here. On the one hand, it represents surplus, leftover food, implying that the child has received sufficient care and attention in the family, has sufficient food, and lives a prosperous life. On the other hand, it also symbolizes wealth and abundance, which means that families hope that their children can live a prosperous and beautiful life.
