The periodic table of elements only appeared in the Qing Dynasty. Why is Zhu Can Yuanzhang named periodic table?

Because Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated at that time that the names of future generations must be named in the order of five elements, this led to this situation. It's fun to say. Since ancient times, whether for taboo or other reasons, the names of those princes and grandchildren have never been as obscure as the names of the emperors and grandchildren of the Ming Dynasty. If their educational level is not high, they can't even read their names, especially those emperors in the late Ming Dynasty. Moreover, more interestingly, the names of elements in the periodic table of chemical elements introduced by Qing translation are highly consistent with the names of Ming emperors and grandchildren.

This is certainly not a coincidence, but a deliberate act. At that time, Xu Shou, who introduced the periodic table of chemical elements, was having a headache about how to translate the obscure periodic table of chemical elements into Chinese, and came across a genealogy of Zhu, in which the names of Zhu's descendants were very similar to those of those chemical elements. He used these names in high spirits. Then, why can the name of Zhu's descendants be used in the periodic table of chemical elements?

Zhu Yuanzhang took pains to pass on his Zhu Jiazheng system from generation to generation. Then, clever, he came up with a way to adopt the theory that the five elements of our country coexist and resist each other, so that future generations can take it with them when naming? Jin Mu, fire, water and earth? These five words serve as radicals. Must be? Jinshui, aquatic wood, Muhuo, Huotu, Tujin? This order. Zhu Yuanzhang's original idea was good, and because it was the first time to implement it, there were some normal words.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who could not help being eccentric, gave too many benefits to the descendants of the royal family, so the number of descendants of Zhu surged from Yongle to the late Wanli period, with tens of thousands. Among these tens of thousands of people, the number of peers can be imagined. All the good words have been picked out, and the rest can only start to learn some rare words. Those who don't even have uncommon words can only make their own words, so the names of Zhu descendants can meet the requirements of the periodic table of elements.
