Hello everyone, I am Shushan Bixia, I am very happy to share this article with you, today let’s talk about Ming Dynasty The emperor’s knowledge of naming.
Chinese names are not like foreign countries. We are very particular about how to listen to them. Nice is just a superficial appearance. What we pay more attention to is the connotation.
And the connotation does not simply mean beautiful, it involves more knowledge, which is why many parents now ask fortune tellers to name their children, because you have no professional (not advertising, please watch the following part).
Today, let's study the mystery of the Ming Dynasty emperor's name.
Let's first make a list to connect the names of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, which is clear at a glance:
The picture comes from Dongping Chiyou, thanks!
Okay, let's take a look, and see what clues? If not, let me give you some reasons. We are ranked by generation:
First generation: Zhu Yuanzhang
Second generation: Zhu Di
Third generation: Zhu Yunqiong, Zhu Gaochi p
strong BaseFifth generation: Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qiyu
Sixth generation: Zhu Jianshen
Seventh generation: Zhu Youzhen
Zhu thick eighth generation
Ninth generation: Zhu Zaiqi
Tenth generation: Zhu Yijun
Eleventh generation: Zhu Changluo
Twelfth generation: Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youjian
Note: From the second generation of emperor Zhudi ,Except for the seniority in the middle, there are five elements in the back names.
Zhu Di belt wood, Zhu Yunzhe and Zhu Gaochi belt fire, Zhuzhan base belt soil, Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qiyu belt gold, Zhujian deep belt water, and start from Zhu Youchang Enter a new cycle.
Obviously: except for the first generation of Zhu Yuanzhang , the names of the Ming emperors are strictly based on the five elements. Look carefully: there is another layer of mystery.
Wood is fire, fire is soil, soil is gold, gold is water, and water is wood. This corresponds to the mystery of five elements : wood generates fire, fire generates soil, native gold, Jinsheng water, aquatic wood.
Obviously, this is not an accidental coincidence, but the Emperor Ming did it deliberately. From the generation of Zhu Yuanzhang, the rule of naming princes and grandchildren in this way was established in order for the Ming Dynasty to survive. For generations to come. This is the mind of the emperor, the higher you go, the more you will pay attention to things.
Some people may find it strange: Why is the eighth generation Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao not beside the fire? Why are there exceptions?
In fact, this is the time difference caused by the long-term development of Chinese characters. We cannot judge the phenomenon of another era based on the perception of one era. This will cause serious misjudgments, such as this "photo ”_Strong2strong words.
in the Ming Dynasty,"灬" is not beside the water, but beside the fire, such as "cook" , set the fire underneath, and boil things on top. "灬" represents the fire below, and Zhu Houxuan 's "熜" is the fire on the left.
So, it’s not surprising why Zhu Huzhao didn’t take what we think now is beside the fire. Similarly, Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi's younger brother Zhu Gaoxu is also the same reason.
Not only the name, a dynasty also pays attention to "five virtues" . For example, in the Yuan dynasty, it was Jin De; while in the Ming dynasty, the Yuan was extinct and fire was promoted, which belonged to the fire.
Well, this is a little bit of interesting things that Penxia shared today. If you like the author's article and style, don't forget to like and give a reward, thank you!
