Why are the names of some Qing emperors strange and difficult to recognize?

In ancient China, there was a very overbearing taboo rule. You must avoid directly saying or writing the names of kings and respected people. Biography of the Ram? Min Gongnian:? The Spring and Autumn Period is taboo for venerable persons, relatives and sages. ? Taboo, not only praise the career achievements of these respected people, relatives and sages, but also can't even call them by their names directly. If you must speak and write on special occasions, you must use a curved pen.

For example, the emperor shunzhi, the father of Emperor Kangxi, was called Fu Lin. When Kangxi wrote blessings to ministers, he had to make mistakes on purpose. We have seen Liu Zongyuan's Talk about Snake Catcher before. Because the name of Emperor Taizong is Shimin, even people should be taboo, and folk customs should be changed into adult customs.

Before the Qing dynasty entered the customs, the imperial clan was named at will. After entering the customs, under the admiration of Confucianism, all kinds of things in society are required to behave themselves, even the names are no exception. They adopted the method of generations, which did Emperor Kangxi choose? Yin, Hong? The word "Dai" was chosen by Emperor Qianlong. Partial, sensitive, easy, and awkward? Four words, continued by Emperor Daoguang? Pu, Yu, Heng and Qi? Four words, continued by Emperor Xianfeng? Tao, Lu, Zeng and Qi? Four words. So starting from Yong Zhengdi, the order of Manchu imperial clan is:? Yin, Hong, Yong, Min, Yi, Zai, Pu, Yu, Heng, Qi, Dao, Lu, Zeng and Qi? .

Kangxi's name is Michelle Ye, so according to the taboo system, with? Xuan? 、? Hey? All the words related to these two words should be revised. For example, what was the original name of the North Gate of the Forbidden City? Xuanwu gate? , but changed to avoid? Shenwumen? . As a feudal emperor, he needed to follow the political tradition, and he didn't want the emperor's name to be called by the world. Did a minister use a pen without music in his article? Xuan? Word, according to the law, is a crime of disrespect, which made the minister tremble with fear. Finally, Kangxi gave a hand and gave up.

In order to reduce the trouble of taboo for the people, Kangxi chose to use uncommon words when naming his son. In this way, no matter which son becomes emperor in the future, people will have less trouble in taboo.

Historically, the emperors of the Han Dynasty had already done such a thing. Like Liu Bingyi and Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he used to live among the people, so he chose his name at will. Once you become emperor, this? What's wrong with you? 、? Already? The word "two words" is used too frequently, which has a great influence on the people. So he changed his name? Liu Xun? . His son Han lives in Liu city. What about this one? Hey? Words are not commonly used.

Therefore, the Qing emperors used uncommon words as their names in order to cater to the tradition of Han and Confucianism, to show their integration into Chinese culture, and to name them after the royal traditions of past dynasties. This is a popular project, and at the same time, they don't want to cause trouble and trouble to the people.
