It was purely a coincidence that Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty. Without Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang San and Li Si would have appeared to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty. The wheel of history is moving forward. If the world is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. If it does not adapt to the trend of the times, it will inevitably be eliminated and overthrown. Some people's opinions are based on Zhu Yuanzhang's name. They believe that Zhu in Zhu Yuanzhang's name has the same pronunciation as Zhu, and Zhang? refers to a kind of sharp jade. Therefore, it is purely a fallacy to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is a weapon to kill Yuan and a magic weapon to destroy Yuan. It has no factual basis at all. If we have to use Zhu Yuanzhang's name to explain it, we can only use superstitious explanations here. In fact, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was a diligent and good emperor, but after he conquered the country, he listened to slanderous rumors, abandoned virtuous ministers, and killed the founding fathers. He forgot his roots a little and made mistakes. Fortunately, his descendants corrected them in time, so that he could be guaranteed. The Ming Dynasty. Ming Taizu forgot how he conquered the country. He used to be a monk and also had to make a living. Zhu Yuanzhang also started an uprising by spreading superstitions such as "The world will be in chaos, Maitreya will be born, and King Ming will be born" and "putting notes in moon cakes" to win over people's hearts, recruit good generals, strengthen the team, strengthen the troops and horses, win the hearts of the people, and conquer the city. , the momentum is overwhelming. As for the Yuan Dynasty, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was in power. In fact, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was also a good emperor, but the dynasty he was born in affected his potential, and he finally hanged himself. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, two factions within the Mongolian tribe met each other and killed each other. The instability of the central political situation directly led to the rapid decline of the Yuan Dynasty's overall strength. The Mongolian cavalry, which was originally strong in combat effectiveness and had strict military discipline, also became corrupt and degenerate. Social and political corruption, especially the conflicts between the Mongolian and Han ethnic groups, continue to intensify, excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes are imposed, and various uprisings and rebellions increase year by year. Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang's "Red Turban Army" gradually grow in strength, unified the world, became emperor, and established the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's destruction of Yuan Dynasty has nothing to do with the word "Yuan" in his name. It is just an amazing coincidence.
1. How did the name Zhu Chongba come from. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in an out-and-out poor peasant family. He had been farmers for generations and lived in poverty. According to the regulations of the Yuan Dynasty, the lower class people, because they had no culture and status, no officials or positions, were not allowed to be named. They could only use the sum of their parents' ages as their names. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's father's real name was Zhu Wusi. It should be that the sum of the ages of Zhu Yuanzhang's grandparents is 54. Zhu Yuanzhang was the fourth child in his family. His parents must have been older at that time, and their combined age was 88, so he was named "Chongba".
2. Zhu Yuanzhang’s original intention of changing his name. At that time, the world was in chaos and heroes were everywhere. In order to survive, Zhu Yuanzhang joined the Nongming Rebel Army and joined Guo Zixing's team. Because Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance was very strange, Guo Zixing treated him differently and treated him as a confidant. During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang was interested in pursuing a career. Because he had been a monk, he attached great importance to fortune telling and other things, so he changed his name several times. At first, the name "Chongba" was changed to "Xingzong", which means "revitalizing the ancestral family". Later it was renamed Deyu, and finally Yuanzhang, with the courtesy name Guorui. Changing one's name also shows a change in status, which means that one no longer wants to be a grassroots person with no official position.
3. The meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang’s name. Some people say that Zhu Yuanzhang was named in order to destroy Yuan. Because Zhu and Zhu were executed at the same time, "Yuan" refers to the Yuan Dynasty, and "Zhang" refers to jade, implying the material of pillars. Putting these three words together, it is to kill the talents of the Yuan Dynasty and the important weapon of the country. In fact, this is just subjective conjecture and coincidence. If you say this, "zhu" still means red. Does that mean that Zhu Yuanzhang was a famous figure in the Yuan Dynasty?
4. The true meaning of the word ?元?. There is not much ambiguity about the characters "Zhu" and "Zhang". The key is the character "Yuan". Judging from the name change process, Yuan Zhang's name was given by Guo Zixing. Although Guo Zixing was not from a famous family, he was also born into a wealthy family. His family was wealthy and he was literate. Because Zhu Yuanzhang was relatively loyal, Guo Zixing valued him very much and betrothed his adopted daughter to him. Named "Yuanzhang", "Yuanzhang" means initial. However, it happens that the character "Yuan" coincides with the name of the country. This is because the word "Yuan" in the Yuan Dynasty was determined by Kublai Khan. At that time, Kublai Khan had just taken over the Central Plains. He followed the opinions of Xu Heng, Prince Zhenjin and other Confucian ministers, and promoted sinicization. He took the word "Yuan" from the "Da Zai Qian Yuan" in the "Book of Changes" as the country's name. Initial? means.
When giving names in ancient times, the country name was generally not used as a name. So, it's really a coincidence.
If Zhu Yuanzhang did not succeed, what would be the explanation? If it must be connected with the annihilation of the Yuan Dynasty, it can only be said to be an afterthought.
