Temple number is the honorific name of the ancient emperors of China when they proclaimed their sacrifices in the ancestral temple. It is generally believed that temple names originated in Shang Dynasty, such as Taizong in Taijia, Taizong in Taiwu and Gaozong in Wuding (Tang Cheng may be Taizong). The name of the temple was very strict at first. According to the standard of "ancestors have merits and virtues, ancestors have virtues", the founding monarch is generally an ancestor and heir with the ability to govern the country. The posthumous title system was established in the Zhou Dynasty, and the life of the monarch and ministers was finally evaluated. The temple name system was abolished. Even the posthumous title system was abolished in the Qin Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty, it inherited the temple name system. The Han dynasty was very cautious about adding temple names, so many emperors didn't have temple names. Liu Bang was the founding monarch, and the temple name was Mao (but it was called Mao since Sima Qian, which was commonly used by later generations), and posthumous title was the high emperor (there was no word "Gao" in the funeral, so it was Mao of the Han Dynasty, hence the name Yan). The Han Dynasty emphasized filial piety, so the succeeding emperor posthumous title had the word "filial piety". The emperors of the Han Dynasty all had posthumous title, but few people had temple names. In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was Emperor Taizong Gao (filial piety to Liu Ying), Emperor Xiaowen of Emperor Taizong (filial piety to Liu Qi), Emperor Sejong Xiaowu (filial piety to Liu Xun) and Emperor Xiao Xuan of Zhongzong (Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu). In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu was Emperor Guangwu (Liu Xiaoming Zhuang Shang Dian), Liu Zhuang was Emperor Xiaoming (Zhang Xiao Liu Wei Shang Dian), and Liu Wei was Su Zong Zhang Xiao (Liu Xiaohe Zhao Shang Dian). In the Eastern Han Dynasty, several other emperors, Xiao He, Xiao An and Xiao Huan, all had temple names, but their filial piety to Xian Di was cancelled. In the Tang Dynasty, except for some perishing kings and short-lived emperors, there were generally temple names. Temple names often use the word "Zu" or "Zong". The founding emperors are generally called "Taizu" or "Gaozu", such as Han Taizu, Tang Gaozu and Song Taizu; The emperors behind them are generally called "Zong", such as Emperor Taizong and others. But there are exceptions The reproduction of "grandfathers" began in Cao Wei. In the Sixteen Kingdoms period, almost all the imperial temples in small countries such as Houzhao, Yan Qian, Houqin and Xiqin were ancestral temples. When addressing, the temple number is often placed before posthumous title, which, together with posthumous title, constitutes the full name of the deceased emperor. Traditionally, emperors who died before the Tang Dynasty were generally referred to as posthumous title for short, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Yang Di, rather than the names of temples. After the Tang Dynasty, due to the lengthening of posthumous title's characters, it was renamed as the temple name, such as Emperor Taizong and Song Taizu. Generally speaking, the choice of temple names does not refer to the method of divination, and words with beautiful meanings, such as Tai, Shi, Gao, Shen, Sheng, Ren, Rui, Ming and Zhang, are usually chosen. Since the Tang Dynasty, the temple name of the founding emperor of the dynasty is usually "Taizu", and the temple name of the second generation emperor is often "Taizong". If the imperial system of a dynasty changes, its temple name is "Sejong" or "Sejong". But this is not a law, nor is it a universal law. In the history of China, the following temples were named Tai, and the emperors in the world were briefly listed as follows: Han Taizong, the founding emperor Liu Bangshu, Wuzi, the fifth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty Jin Taizong, the founding emperor Sima Yu, the founding emperor Zhongzong, the youngest son of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the eighth emperor Tang Taizong Wu, the Yizhou emperor Li, the third son, the founding emperor Taizong became the king of Zhang Taizong, the younger brother of the founding emperor, and the second generation of former Qin Taizong Aric.
