Speaking of the names of the children of the Ming Dynasty, people will always think of the periodic table of elements. This requires Zhu Yuanzhang to establish the Ming Dynasty and set a naming rule for his children, which should be based on seniority and compliance? Jin Mu, fire, water and soil? , became the China dynasty, one of the most peculiar royal name. Zhu Yuanzhang laid down rules for his children and grandchildren
It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was not born high, worked as a monk and mixed with gangs, and finally laid the land of the Ming Dynasty. He was worried about the instability of the mountains and rivers in the Ming Dynasty. In order to ensure the stability of the mountains and rivers in the Ming Dynasty and let the children and grandchildren remember that the five elements are mutually reinforcing, he made a rule that when future generations register, they must press? Jin Mu, fire, water and soil? The order, but also worried that the royal family will have a large population and too many names in the future, I personally drafted 2 words as a generation order. High-looking qi sees you, and thick load is often made by you. Kindness and grace are equal, and Jane Jingdi is the first? , his son for the first generation, such as Zhu Di, from the wood, the next generation is like Zhu Gaochi, generation order is? Tall? , five elements from the fire, the third generation such as Zhu Zhanji, generation order is? Looking forward? , five elements from the soil? By analogy, it has created very distinctive royal names in the Ming dynasty, and it is also doomed that these names are related to? Jin Mu, fire, water and soil? These elements are inextricably linked.
The royal family in the Ming Dynasty was too fertile
Let's say that China's Chinese characters were very powerful, but Zhu Yuanzhang never imagined that his descendants were also very fertile. As a royal family, the speed of its population development is too high. During the Wanli period, the population of the royal clan was as high as 15,, and the characters of the radicals of the five elements that were basically visible were not enough. As a hereditary royal family, it is more necessary to avoid the names of ancestors and translate uncommon words. It is said that if it is really useless, you can make your own words. Royal, of course, this is not true or false. Anyway, in order to name it, the imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty is also very hard to spell.
In the Qing Dynasty, when the chemical elements flowed into China, the person in charge of translation saw that the name of the imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty was for the periodic table of elements. After all, the composition of elements could not be separated from the water, fire and soil in Jin Mu, especially this metal. Did you sigh when you recited the periodic table?
