Zhu Yuanzhang shouted don't call me dad Zhu. What are the interesting things about the names of Ming emperors?

The names of kings in the Ming Dynasty are all taken by the five elements, and many of them are rare words. When conveying the imperial edict to the prince or summoning the prince into the palace to meet the holy monk, mispronouncing or misspelling the name often leads to an oolong incident. In order to cover up these small mistakes, sometimes mistakes have to be made, and mistakes that don't call this name should also be changed to this name.

Zhu Yuanzhang's original name is not Zhu Baba. Before he became emperor, most people called him Zhu Baba, which was easier to read and remember. When Zhu Yuanzhang was a child, their names were based on the date of birth or the age of their parents, and they were also named according to their generations. Zhu Yuanzhang's cousins of the same age are all "heavy". Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's name was not added up by his parents' ages, but was obtained by several generations.

Another interesting name is Ming Xianzong, whose original name is Zhu Jianshen. After his father Ming Yingzong ascended the throne, he called his son Zhu Jianshen the Crown Prince. He ordered his servant to draft the imperial edict. After the servant drafted the imperial edict, Ming Yingzong stamped the imperial edict without looking carefully. When the imperial edict was published, it was found that it was written by Zhu Jiankang rather than Zhu Jianshen. Everyone knows that Zhu Jianshen was inscribed. On hearing Zhu Jian's name, ministers were fooled. Who is Zhu Jiankun? Is it the illegitimate child of the emperor? There was a lot of discussion at that time.

Later, Ming Yingzong was afraid of ministers' jokes, so he said that he had given Zhu Jianshen a new name, and later he made a mistake. Zhu Jianshen was also renamed Zhu Jianlian. In fact, the Ming emperors had many interesting names, mainly because the names were uncommon or polyphonic. Many people make mistakes and make jokes.
