When Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty first founded the country, he stipulated the second character of the names of his descendants. It was an auspicious saying or something, and the Qing Dynasty seemed to have done the same. beg.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s 26 sons and descendants were named in the order of fire, earth, metal, water, and wood, and they were named according to the radicals. According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty: The First List of Kings": "In Hongwu, Taizu named Luyou after his descendants. To repeat, in the East Palace and the prince's lineage, two crosses are drawn for each, with the character for the first generation of the descendant. The clan family will establish double names according to the generation, based on the above character, and the next character will take the radical of the five elements, with fire, Earth, metal, water, and wood are in order, but King Jingjiang is not particular about it. The name of the East Palace is: Yun Wen obeys the instructions of his ancestors, and the Qinwu King wins. It is good to follow the road, and the teacher is good and uses it well. The Qin Mansion said: Shang Zhigong. . ”
Based on this, I will clearly summarize the names of his sons as follows:

Qianlong said that the descendants of Aixinjueluo should be ranked in succession, so he arranged them. After Qianlong, they were "Yong, Mian, Yi, Zai" and "Pu, Yu, Heng, Qi", among which "Pu, Yu, Heng, Qi" were added later.
However, due to the problem of word avoidance, many characters have been changed
Qianlong's son is of the "Yong" generation. Qianlong's successor was Jiaqing, and his name was "Yongyan". Qianlong considered a problem. The word "Yong" was often written and used. Since all the words "Yong" in the world were taboo, this matter was more complicated. It was complicated, so Qianlong thought of a way to change the word "Yong" to "Yongyan". This word was not commonly used, so it was easier to avoid taboos. But when writing, the last stroke must be avoided, and the word "Yan" must be written in a different way, which is relatively simpler than the word "Yong" that everyone in the world avoids. This is Jiaqing. Daoguang, Daoguang, everyone knows that Daoguang belongs to the generation of "Mian", "Yong, Mian, Yi, Zai", the generation of "Mian". The emperor also said that "Mian" is a word that people must use in their clothes, and it is often used. If the word "Mian" is taboo in all the world, it would be more complicated. To change it, the emperor changed the word and turned it into an uncommon word with similar pronunciation, so similar to "MIN寕".
In this way, all the words "Mian" in the world can be avoided, and you cannot write the word "Min" like this when writing. When the emperor comes across the word "Min" when writing articles, publishing books, or taking exams, he will Don't write at all, avoid this. The word "寕" also needs to be changed into one horizontal and one vertical. It was originally the word "心" under the Bao Hijab. At this time, the word "心" was changed to One horizontal stroke and one stroke, so as to avoid it
Everyone knows that Xianfeng is called "Yiqi", "Yong, Mian, Yi, Zai", "Yiqi", this time it has been simplified again, the emperor's The name is two characters, Yi Chi. If the first word is not taboo, then the second word, the word "蜝", is taboo. How can the word "蜝" be taboo? The last stroke is missing. The last stroke is not written. The absence of taboo is called taboo. If it is missing this stroke, it can be written as Yiqi. This is a little simpler than the original. After Xianfeng came Tongzhi, whose name was Zaichun. We talked about the names "Yong, Mian, Yi, and Zai". Zaichun, the first character is not taboo, only the second character is taboo. For the second character, the pronunciation of Zaichun's "Chun" and "Heng" is different. Change the writing method, Zaichun's "Chun" is written like this , to express taboo. Next is Guangxu, "Yong, Mian, Yi, Zai". Guangxu is the generation of "Zai". Guangxu's Zaiyan is also called Zaitan. The word "Zai" is not taboo, so the last word, this word, is taboo. How to avoid it? Just avoid the last touch. The word "mouth" is not sealed. If this word is involved in the examination of being a candidate for the imperial examination or being admitted as a Jinshi, if one extra stroke is written, it is certain that neither the Jinshi nor the Jinshi will be admitted. This is Guangxu. Xuantong, Xuantong is called Puyi. The first word is not taboo, but the second word is taboo. How to avoid taboo on the second character of the word "yi"? It is called taboo and lacks the last stroke. The last stroke is not written. This is the four stages of the emperor's name avoidance in the Qing Dynasty: the first stage is the three dynasties of Tiantianshun, the name is not taboo only on important occasions such as "Jade Certificate" and "Record", and a yellow sticker is affixed to it; the second stage It is the taboo of Kang, Yong and Qian. The third period was Jia and Dao. One word was changed, taboo. The fourth period is Xian, Tong, Guang, and Xuan. The emperor's name has two characters, the first character is not avoided, and the second character is missing the last stroke.
