Five generations ago, the emperors would more or less choose according to their previous titles or fiefs, such as Liu Bang's Han King, Cao Cao's Wei King, even if they don't have a title, they will trace back to a country name according to their own bloodline, such as Liu Bei is the bloodline of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and the "Han" is the meaning of the continuation of the Han Dynasty.
The founding of the Ming Dynasty, the establishment of the Yuan Hongwu.
Even Guo Wei, who later did not have a title and could not find the blood of a celebrity, would find a reason, thinking that he was a descendant of Uncle Yu of the Zhou Dynasty, and set "Zhou" as his national name, but later Zhao Kuangyin really couldn't find a way to set the national name, so he set the "Song" he was stationed in Songzhou as the national name, anyway, he had to find a reason to convince the world.
In the era of Liao, Jin and Yuan, the alien race can not care about what titles and fiefs, directly according to their own ideas to determine the name of the country, the Liao country because the Khitan people originated in Liaoshui, set the name of the "Liao" country, the Jurchen people for the Khitan this "ingots and iron family", with the meaning of "Jin Ke Shui", set the name of the country "Jin", the Mongols did not choose anything after entering the Central Plains, only chose auspicious words, and set the country name as "Yuan" in the Book of Changes.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was called the emperor, the choice of the country name became the top priority in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was very good to choose, first of all, he had the title of King Wu of Han Lin'er, his hometown was in Huaixi, there was Zhong Liguo in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it belonged to the Chu State during the Warring States Period, so it can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang has a lot of choices.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Huaixi belonged to Zhongli Kingdom.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang finally chose the country name "Daming", why is this? Many people say that Zhu Yuanzhang is unwilling to inherit Han Lin'er's title of King Wu, but first of all, everyone has to understand what kind of attitude Zhu Yuanzhang has towards Han Lin'er, the king of Ming:
"Ping Zhou".
The Emperor's Decree, King Wu's Decree, the Chief Military Officer's Quasi-Zhongshu Provincial Advisor, Respect the Decree:Gai Wen struck crime and saved the people, the teacher of the king, the test was ancient, and it was obvious from generation to generation. Xuanyuan's Zhu Chiyou, Yin Tang's expedition to Ge Bo, King Wen's war against Chonghou, and the three saints' troops are also not rich in the world, but to save the people.
At the end of Youyuan, the lord lived in the deep palace, the ministers were prosperous, the officials were bribed, the crimes were forgiven, the Xiantai raised relatives and impeached the enemy, and the division was poor and rich. The temple did not think about it, so they added redundant officials, changed the money law, served hundreds of thousands of people, and annihilated the Yellow River. The dead rested on the Tao, and the voice of mourning was heard in the heavens.
As a result, the foolish people mistakenly fell into the witchcraft, did not understand the delusion of the words, believed in the true existence of Maitreya, hoped that it would rule the world, and gather for the party of burning incense according to Ru and Ying, and spread the river and Luo. Evil words have been carried out, murderous schemes have been carried out, cities have been burned, soldiers have been killed, and living beings have been poisoned. Yuan begged for it with the general trend of the world's soldiers, horses, money and food, which was slightly ineffective and became more and more rampant, but it could not help the world and the people.
On May 21, the twelfth year of Longfeng, Xu Shijie, the judge of this state, arrived.
Dragon and phoenix Tongbao. Ping Zhou Zhu is Zhu Yuanzhang's conquest of Zhang Shicheng's article, from which we can see Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Han Lin'er, the king of the Ming Dynasty, in this article, Zhu Yuanzhang believes that the White Lotus Sect is a "fallacy" and a "murderous plot", since the White Lotus Sect is identified as the culprit, the natural ass is in the position of the landlord base class, attacking the peasant uprising.
According to what this text says, it is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to recognize the throne of Han Lin'er supported by the White Lotus Sect, nor can he recognize Han Lin'er for rewarding him with the title of King Wu, and naturally he will not choose "Wu" as the country name.
But it would be wrong to say that Zhu Yuanzhang denied Han Lin'er all, because the era name used at the end of the text was Han Lin'er's dragon and phoenix year name, and he did not choose other era names, even if he used the previous Song country name.
King Xiao Ming finally drowned.
For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan surrendered to Cao Pi and used the era name of Cao Pi to symbolize the fall of Cao Wei, but with the turn of Sun Quan and Cao Pi, the year name was changed to Huangwu, marking the break between Eastern Wu and Cao Wei.
Another example is the Five Dynasties period, Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty to establish the Later Liang, changed the Yuan Kaiping, and Li Keyong, who had always been at odds with him, used the Tang Tianyu year name with his father and son, and refused to recognize Zhu Wen as the king of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tianyou year name was used until Li Cunqiao called the emperor and established the Tang Dynasty.
Another opening chapter".The Emperor's Decree, King Wu's DecreeWho is the emperor in China? Naturally, it is Han Lin'er, so this "Ping Zhou Xuan" can be called the most spiritual text in history, on the one hand, attacking the White Lotus Sect as a fallacy and a murderous plot, and on the other hand, affirming the people with lofty ideals in the White Lotus Sect's uprising."It is a person with lofty ideals, watching and considering, taking advantage of the situation, or the name of the fake Yuan clan, or the name of the Xiang Army, or standing on his own with a lone soldier
People with lofty ideals must be their father-in-law Guo Zixing and others, as for the evil rumors and murderous plots, it depends on who Zhu Yuanzhang thinks, of course, Han Lin'er can or may not be.
It was not until after Han Lin'er's death that Zhu Yuanzhang began to use the "Wu" era until the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Yuanzhang thought about establishing "Wu" as the national name after Han Lin'er's death.
Dazhong Tongbao money.
After giving up the national name of "Wu", Zhu Yuanzhang actually had the national name of "Dazhong", which originated from Zhu Yuanzhang's slogan "Expelling Hulu and restoring China", after Zhu Yuanzhang was named the queen of Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang officially cast Dazhong Tongbao money, but finally gave up.
Now I can finally talk about why Zhu Yuanzhang set "Daming" as the national name, first of allZhu Yuanzhang recognized Han Lin'er's throne and the title of King Wu given to him, and he once had the idea of using "Wu" as the national name, but the core of Zhu Yuanzhang's rule is the heroes from Huaixi, most of whom were born in the White Lotus Sect and have deep feelings for the word "Ming".
Secondly, Zhu Yuanzhang is a monk, and he has never been taboo about his background, and even said that the emperor and queen repaired the temple where he had become a monk with great fanfare, and gave it the name "Longxing Temple", so the foreshadowing is for".Maitreya was born, and King Ming was bornThis is also the core of the White Lotus Sect's beliefs.
Maitreya was born, and King Ming was born" is the core of the White Lotus Sect.
From the rise of the White Lotus Sect at the end of the Song Dynasty in the continuous propaganda, this sentence is known to the world, and now there happens to be a person from Shami who is now the Ming Emperor, and the common people will naturally think that Zhu Yuanzhang is "the destiny of heaven", and they are convinced that this is much more reliable than the temporary compilation of "Da Chuxing, Chen Shengwang", "Spot Inspection to be the Son of Heaven" or something.
In the Ming Dynasty, except for Tang Sai'er's White Lotus uprising, other White Lotus Sects basically did not form large-scale uprisings, which also showed that the common people believed in this sentence, and also produced awe for the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Ming.
Of course, there is another point, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to be the first person of the Yuan Dynasty and quickly revised the "History of the Yuan", since the name of the Yuan Dynasty is taken from the "Book of Changes", then the back".The great Qianyuan and the beginning of all materials are the rulers of the sky. The clouds are raining, and the products are shaped. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the six times were completed, and the six dragons were taken to the sky. The main road changes, each is life, and he is in harmony with him, and he is rich. The first out of the house, Xianning of all countriesDoesn't it imply that "Da Ming" replaced "Da Yuan".
In addition, according to Confucianism, Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor in the south, the south belongs to fire, for yang, the Yuan Dynasty rose in northern Mongolia, the north belongs to water, for yin, Ming for the sun and the moon, naturally with fire to make water, with yang to eliminate yin, but also to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's "Zhu" is red, just with Ming, so comprehensive factors, Zhu Yuanzhang finally chose "Ming" as the country name, Jianyuan Hongwu.
