The order of emperors of the Ming Dynasty is:
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Hui Emperor Zhu Yun (Huo Wen: two characters combined into one character, left and right structure. Pronounced: wen), Chengzu Zhu Di, Renzong Zhu Gaochi, Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, Daizong Zhu Qiyu, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen (second succession), Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, Xiaozong Zhu Youtang, Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, Shizong Zhuhou (cong), Mu Zong Zhu Zai ( hou), Shenzong Zhu Yi, Guangzong Zhu Changluo, Xizong Zhu Youxiao, and Sizong Zhu Youjian.
The information I found below is interesting, you should also take a look.
When the Ming Dynasty royal family named Zhu Yuanzhang, he all named his sons with the same radical. It was normal for the ancients to name people of the same generation with the same radical.
However, because Zhu Yuanzhang had 26 sons, he realized that some of his descendants must have the same name, so he set a generational table for each of the 26 sons. Each table has 20 characters, starting with his grandson. Name downwards~~
For example, the name of King Yan Zhu Di is: Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zaiyi Changyou, Ci Heyi Bozhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou.
There are also regulations here. , each five-character naming is in the order of fire, earth, metal, water, and wood, and named by the radicals in turn. So we see that Ming Renzong's name is Zhu Gaochi, which is Huobang of the senior generation, and Xuanzong Zhanji is the soil of the Zhan generation. Ying Zong Qi Zhen, Daizong Qi Yu is the golden side of Qi generation, Xian Zong is deep, it is Jian generation water side, Xiaozong Youtang is the wood side of You generation. At this time, the five elements have turned around, and they are from fire. Starting over, Wu Zong Houzhao, Shizong Houcong was the fire side of Houzi generation, and it was passed down to the wood side of Youzi generation, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed~~
Other royal palaces also have these regulations, such as Prince Zhu Biao. Originally, the line of succession in his name should have been the imperial line, but his son was usurped by his uncle, so it was only passed down to his grandson. Zhu Biao's 20 words It is: Yunwen followed the instructions of his ancestors, King Qinwu won, he followed the road for good luck, and he was a good teacher and made good use of Sheng. The only people we know of were Emperor Jianwen named Zhu Yunwen, and his son named Zhu Wengui. They were fire and earth respectively.
Another example is the King of Qin: he is honest and sincere, but retains respect and friendship. His subordinates are honest and upright, and he will always be trustworthy. The Zhu Shangbing you mentioned should be the son of the King of Qin. The King of Jin's description is: Jimei is fond of his appearance, he is cautious in his pursuit of new knowledge, he is prudent in his heart and admires his views, and he continues to cultivate his previous studies by expounding his knowledge. There are many others that are not listed one by one.
So the royal family of the Ming Dynasty had very strict naming rules, and some words were a bit weird, but this was beneficial, because the emperor’s name was taboo. Choosing names with uncommon characters can help minimize the impact of taboo~
Later, after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, they may have escaped the pursuit of the Qing government. Maybe many members of the royal family gave up these naming traditions. , but there are indeed many people who have kept it. When I saw Zhu Rongji before, I thought his second character was very strange. It was also Tubian, and I thought that he might be a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. So I went to check it out, and sure enough, it was in the hereditary name of King Min. The character 镕 was found in the second character of a certain sentence in the table. According to the rules, this character should be paired with tupeng. And later, when looking at the hereditary table of King Min, the seniority in which the character 镕 appeared should be about this age~ Therefore, there is a great possibility that the former prime minister is a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang~
