Why did Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestors use numbers as their names?
Zhu Yuanzhang went all the way from a beggar to the position of the Supreme Emperor in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. His life is full of benevolence and righteousness. Let me talk about what name he will change first. In ancient times, the post-taboo must mean auspiciousness and have various special meanings. If he doesn't change his name, Ming Taizu Zhu Chongba will be recorded in the history books. In this case, the name seems to be precarious and featureless. Zhu Yuanzhang changed his name three times, and finally changed his name to Bird. Yuan refers to the fact that Zhang is an ancient jade after the Yuan Dynasty, and its status is relatively lofty. Why was it called Zhu Chongba before? This has something to do with his family.
No matter in ancient times or now, clans have always been respected by everyone. In ancient times, all people lived in a big family, and the people with high prestige in the family decided to write genealogy, so the younger generation needed to be named according to the rules. Zhu Yuanzhang's great-grandfather was named Zhu Zhongba. He gave birth to three children, named Zhu Liuer, Zhu Shier and Zhu Bailiu respectively. It can be seen that his family is named after numbers. Zhu gave birth to two sons, Zhu Siwu and Zhu, and Zhu gave birth to four children, also known as Zhu Chuyi, Zhu, Zhu and Zhu, who were Zhu Chongba's great-grandfathers. Grandpa Zhu Chu spent his whole life in two fathers, Zhu and Zhu Wuyi. Zhu Chongba's father gave birth to five children. Visible numbers are their genealogy. As for Zhu Chongba, there is only one person left.
The Ming Dynasty opened by Zhu Yuanzhang is also a legend, and it is the only emperor who ruled the country with benevolence in history. Imperial academy and various imperial examinations were developed in the Ming Dynasty, which found a way out for many poor students and lasted for a long time. I think the current academy system is a revision of the imperial examination system.
