Zhu Yuanzhang considered that names might be repeated as his descendants multiplied, so he personally formulated the principles and methods for naming his descendants. The names were given according to the "generation line" rule.
He drafted 20 characters for each of the descendants of his 24 sons, and each character represented one life.
When several descendants are born, the clan will give them double names according to the order of their births. The first character in the double name is the one given by Taizu, and the second character must be a character with five elements as its radical. The five elements are in the order of "fire, earth, metal, water, and wood". For example, "fire" is the radical used by Zhu Yuanzhang's grandchildren to name his grandchildren.
