Why did Zhu Yuanzhang name his country Daming? What does the word "Daming" mean?

Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel flag comes from Zoroastrianism.

When Zhu Yuanzhang decided to return to vulgarity and join the army, the nearest rebel army was in Haozhou, which is Fengyang today. The commander of the Rebel Army is Guo Zixing. They are the Red Scarf Army who believe in Zoroastrianism. Liu Futong, the Red Scarf Army, and others made the son of Zoroastrianism leader Han the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, calling him. During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang's team has been using Wang Xiaoming's title of Dragon and Phoenix, taking orders from Han Liner and Liu Futong, and even Zhu Yuanzhang's office was appointed by them. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was an independent rebel, Wang Xiaoming could not command him. However, before Zhu Yuanzhang officially became emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang had been fighting under the banner of Wang Xiaoming. Even in the first month of every year, Zhu Yuanzhang decorated the throne of Wang Xiaoming Han Liner and led his subordinates to pay tribute to the throne.

The propaganda slogan of Zoroastrianism rebels

In A.D. 1363, Wang Xiaoming was surrounded by soldiers from Zhang Shicheng, which is now Shouxian County. Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to rescue Wang Xiaoming? Welcome to Chuzhou, create a palace and be easy to get around. ? (Qian's "A Brief Introduction to Heroes in the Early Years of the People's Republic of China"). In A.D. 1366, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to take Wang Xiaoming to Yingtian. When crossing the river in Guazhou, the ship sank and Wang Xiaoming Han Liner died.

As early as the Han Dynasty, Shan Tong, the leader of Zoroastrianism, had a legend that the king of the Ming Dynasty was born when migrant workers along the Yellow River rebelled against the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Their slogan is: When Ming Wang was born, the world was at peace? Moreover, there are a large number of Zoroastrianism members in Zhu Yuanzhang's team. Now, Zhu Yuanzhang leads everyone to lay the world, and the puppet Wang Xiaoming is gone. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally becomes the real Wang Ming of Zoroastrianism. He has no reason not to continue to rely on Zoroastrianism beliefs to make his rule stronger. 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang officially named Daming, which was regarded as inheriting the orthodox inheritance of Zoroastrianism.

Think tank in Zhu Yuanzhang's team

On the way to establish an empire, Zhu Yuanzhang recruited a large number of Confucian scholars and scholars with profound knowledge and unique opinions. Every time he sees a Confucian scholar coming, he treats him with courtesy and humbly asks for advice. When Zhu Yuanzhang came to power for the first time, an old Confucian named Zhu Sheng told him three founding strategies. These three sentences are:? Build a wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king? . ("Ming history? Zhu Sheng biography).

When four famous scholars, Liu Ji, Song Lian, Ye Chen and Zhang Yi, went to Yingtianfu to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was in high spirits, arranged suitable positions for them and built special residences for them. Building a ceremony hall should be based on the foundation, and even spoil the ceremony. ? ("Ming history? Liu Jichuan "). The first thing Zhu Yuanzhang said when he saw them was:? Mr. Qu, I am sorry for the world. ? ("Ming history? Zhang Yichuan "). How polite, not only corporal Lixian, but also directly put them on? For the world? Top hat.

Five elements theory of traditional culture.

These Confucian scholars advised Zhu Yuanzhang and finally settled the world. When establishing the national title, they will certainly consider the five elements in traditional culture, such as Jin Mu's fire, water and soil, which were born together and considered each other.

Ming? It means light, Daming means fire, and what about Zhu Yuanzhang's? Zhu? This word stands for red, and red is also the color of fire. Zhu Yuanzhang is advocating the Jiangnan of fire virtue. In addition, Yuan Shundi, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, was still in the Yuan Dynasty, which was not completely overthrown, but it came from the northern grassland and belonged to Yin. What are the five elements? Water? , country number? Daming? It seems to be a raging fire, with yang blocking yin and fire making water, burning the Yuan Dynasty from the grassland as soon as possible. What's more, there are sacrifices in ancient ceremonies? Daming? North Korea? Daytime? At night? Month? Statement. So, after this systematic discussion, what do Confucian scholars still think? Daming? This country name is very good and appropriate.

In fact, for Zhu Yuanzhang, what is the title of the country? Daming? With the legend of the birth of the Ming king, I told people that I am the Ming king, and that the Ming king is already here, and the world is at peace. At the same time, people who work hard together can share wealth. At the same time, they broke the illusion of some people, stopped making trouble, lived in different places, enjoyed the governance of the Ming king with peace of mind and lived a good life.
