In fact, it is not difficult to see that Zhu Yuanzhang was an idealist from many places. For example, he was afraid that his people would not make progress if they had a stable life, so he set various rules for them. There are all kinds of rules and regulations, including daily life and rest, and even whether the couple can be intimate during the day.

As a result, his descendants later had to look for some uncommon words or even create one by themselves. When Chinese characters came out, they named their children, such as "熜" for Zhu Houcong of Ming Dynasty, "啕" for Zhu Zai of Ming Dynasty...
