In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang recognized many semes. Later, after he proclaimed himself emperor, he was given the surname Zhu, so there is no need to avoid the surname.
For example: Mu Ying (1344- 1392), a native of Dingyuan (now Dingyuan County, Anhui Province), a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, a military general, and an adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Give the title of Zhu Ying, and make him a king.

Avoid:
Taboo, in order to maintain the dignity of the hierarchy in feudal times, that is, when speaking and writing articles, not directly saying or writing the names of monarchs or relatives to show respect. Avoid personal attacks with names, which will offend the detached status of the monarch or relatives.
There are four types of taboo objects:
1, Emperor, avoiding the names of contemporary emperors and emperors of past dynasties, was a "national taboo" or "public taboo" at that time.
For example, during the Liu Xiu period, the scholar was changed to Cai Mao; Ganlong once wrote a letter to the door, saying that Five Blessingg was not allowed in the couplet, in order to avoid the name of the emperor shunzhi Fu Lin. Sometimes they even avoid using the queen's name, such as Lv Hou's name, and courtiers have to change their names to pheasants when they meet pheasants.
2. Mr., that is, subordinates should keep the names of Mr. himself, his father and ancestors secret. Even some arrogant officials strictly ordered their men and people to avoid their names.
There is a story in Lu You's Notes on the Old Learning Temple: a state official named Tian Deng, his subordinates and people in the state are not allowed to call his name or write his name. On the fifteenth day of the first month, turn on the lights for three days as usual. The little official who wrote the notice did not dare to write the word lamp, but changed it to "the state government set fire to it for three days according to law." This led to the joke that "only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps".
3. Sages mainly refer to avoiding the name of Confucius and Mencius. Some dynasties also avoided the name of Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, and some also avoided the name of Duke Zhou and even the name of Laozi.
4. Elders, that is, avoiding the names of parents and grandparents, are "family taboos" or "private taboos" of the whole family. When dealing with people, it is very impolite to avoid the taboos of the other elders.
Method:
The ancients often need to avoid taboo, and they summarized various methods of taboo in "Shenxing", including three methods, namely, changing words, missing pens and empty words. There are two main types: avoiding names and renaming names.
