Because Zhu Yuanzhang was born from the grassroots, the kind of person at the bottom of society
Zhu Yuanzhang rose from a beggar to the position of the supreme emperor in the 1990s. His benevolence and righteousness filled the world. , let me first talk about why he will change his name. In ancient times, the surname must have auspicious meanings and had various special meanings. If he did not change his name, it would be recorded in the history books as Zhu Chongba, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the name seems to be unknown and has no characteristics. Zhu Yuanzhang changed his name three times and finally settled on Yuanzhang. Yuan is represented after the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang is a kind of ancient jade, and its status is relatively high. Why was he called Zhu Chongba before? This has something to do with his family
Whether it is in ancient times or now, the family line has always been respected by everyone. In ancient times, big families lived there, and the most respected people in the clan decided on a family tree, and the descendants had to be named according to the rules. Zhu Yuanzhang's great-grandfather was named Zhu Zhongba, and he gave birth to three children named: Zhu Liuer, Zhu Twelve, and Zhu Bailiu. It can be seen that his family was named according to numbers. Zhu Bailiu also gave birth to two sons, Zhu Siwu. , Zhu Sijiu, Zhu Sijiu gave birth to four children, also called Zhu Chuyi, Zhu Chuer, Zhu Chuwu, and Zhu Chushi. This person is also Zhu Chongba's great-grandfather. Grandpa Zhu Chusheng had two fathers, Zhu Wusi and Zhu Wuyi. Zhu Chongba's father gave birth to five children. It can be seen that the numbers are their genealogy, and only Zhu Chongba was left.
The Ming Dynasty founded by Zhu Yuanzhang is also a legend. He is the only emperor in history who ruled the world with benevolence. In the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial College and various imperial examinations were developed to find a way out for many poor students, and this continued for a long time. I think the current college system is a modified version of the imperial examination system.
