Why did Zhu Yuanzhang use "Ming" as the title when he proclaimed himself emperor?

In a.d. 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself the capital, with the title Daming. Many people have some doubts about this title. According to past practice, the country name is generally named after the place where the emperor made his fortune.

For example, when the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, it was named "Shang". After Pan Geng moved to Yin, it was also called Yin or Yin Shang. Of course, there are also some local specialties, or the surname and title of the founder.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's "Ming" seems to have some "unknown origin".

Some people say it has something to do with religion, because Zhu Yuanzhang has many Zoroastrianism believers; Some people say that Zhu Yuanzhang inherited the title of "Ming Xiao Wang" from Han He. Others say that, according to Wu De's initial learning theory, the Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty was replaced by fire. Zhu Yuanzhang said that the reason why he used "Ming" as the country name was actually "forced".

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: "Ming Taizu initially named the country, meaning' Dazhong', and prayed for the Ming Dynasty, so there was Dazhong Bao Tong in Qian Wenzhong at that time", which means that before the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang named the country, meaning' Dazhong', meaning China, China and China.

In A.D. 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, which happened to be clear in Wan Li. It is said that it had rained for several days before this. Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this auspicious day selected by Liu Bowen. Coupled with the prediction of "Wang Ming was born" in Zoroastrianism, Zhu Yuanzhang simply positioned the title as "Ming".

Although the title of "Dazhong" was not adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang, Sun Yat-sen, his super fan, named it the title of the Republic of China after overthrowing the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and was considered to have inherited his great unification thought.
