How was the order of generations of Ming emperors arranged?
First of all, the first sentence refers to the principle of respecting the sky. Foresight refers to letting the younger generation look high, praying to see the blue sky and then praying to the sky with awe can protect you. The second sentence is respectful, which means the earth, and it also means that later emperors should be virtuous and bear heavy burdens. Righteousness means to establish and establish because of the common law in the world, which means that the younger generation should respect all people and safeguard the laws and regulations of the country. After the third sentence, of course, it refers to human relations. Kindness and elegance are equal to each other, so that all members of the family can live in harmony without fighting and calculating with each other. The fourth sentence is to teach the younger generation what to do. Simplicity means simplicity and purity, not luxury and corruption. Land is a guide to inheritance. The first one is the Avenue of the Sages, which means Avenue. The whole meaning is that the younger generation should diligently and simply pass on the mountains and rivers opened by the ancestors forever.
Therefore, these four sentences are connected to teach future generations from three aspects: heaven, earth and people, pray for God's blessing with awe, and treat subjects with tolerance and kindness to safeguard the positive energy of the country. Royal brothers should live in harmony and not let their blood relatives down. Then cultivate the quality of diligence and purity, and pass it on on the road of saints!
Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty only ended with the tenth word. Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants did not follow Mao's legacy.
In addition, some people say that these four sentences also indicate that the Prince is destined to inherit the Ming Yingzong system.
