Why did the emperors in the late Ming Dynasty have names with the character "you", such as Zhu Youlang?

The seniority of the emperors in the Ming Dynasty: "Qi Jianyou is seen high, Yi Changyou is generous, Yi is kind and brother-in-law, Jian Jingdi is the first to you". This is the name ranking given by Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Di's descendants. Because Zhu Di later ascended the throne, future emperors were named according to "Gao Zhan Qi Jian You, Hou Zai Yi Chang You; Ci He Yi Bo Zhong, Jian Jing Di Xian You".

Zhu Yuanzhang prescribed twenty characters for the second character of each descendant of his son. He also prescribed naming rules for the descendants of King Zhu Di of Yan. The second character of the name of each descendant in the future must be The wheel is based on these twenty characters, and the third character determines the radical according to the principle of the five elements of "fire, earth, metal, water, and wood".

For example:

Zhu Di

Zhu Gaochigao

Zhu Zhanjizhan

Zhu Qi Zhenqi

Zhu Qiyu

Zhu Jian Shenjian

Zhu You Zangyou is not You

Zhu Houxuanhou

Zhu Houcong

Zhu Zaihezai

Zhu Yijunyi

Zhu Changluochang

Zhu Youxiao

Zhu Youjian

The middle characters are the same, which means brothers, and the third character is taken according to the mutual generation of the five elements. It only lasted ten generations before the country perished.

During the Hongwu period, Taizu named his descendants and their descendants, fearing duplication, so he named them for the East Palace and the prince's lineage, each with two crosses and the word "one generation". When a descendant is born, the clan will establish double names according to the order of the generation. The upper character will be used as the basis, and the next character will be based on the radical of the five elements, with fire, earth, metal, water, and wood as the order.
