The Ming dynasty was the last unified dynasty founded by the Han ethnicity in Chinese history, which lasted for 276 years.[1] The Ming dynasty continued to use the emperor's era name since Emperor Wu of Han to record the year, using a total of 17 era names. Among them, the first era name used was the Hongwu era name, which was inaugurated by Zhu Yuanzhang in 1368, and the last era name was the Chongzhen era name, which was suspended after Zhu Youjian, the Chongzhen Emperor, hanged himself in Meishan during the Jiashen Incident; the longest in use was the Wanli era name, which lasted about 47 years and 7 months, and the shortest was the Taichang era name, which succeeded Wanli for only about 5 months.[2]
After the Jiashen Incident, the Ming imperial clan successively established the Southern Ming regimes in the Jiangnan area. The Ming imperial clan's last regime was eradicated after Zhu Youlang, the Yongli Emperor, was captured and killed. The Kingdom of Tungning, which regarded the Ming dynasty as zhengshuo (正朔, lit. "calendar promulgated by the first emperor of a dynasty"), eventually surrendered to the Qing dynasty.[3] The Southetn Ming used a total of 3 era names,[4] and each of the Southern Ming era names is also listed here.
Most emperors before the Ming dynasty used more than two era names during their reigns, until the yī shì yī yuán zhì (一世一元制; lit. "one-era-name-for-a-lifetime system") was established during the Hongwu Emperor's reign. Later emperors generally used only one era name, so among the people, the era name was used to refer to the emperor himself,[5] but Emperor Yingzong once used two era names.[2] The Ming dynasty era name did not change much, and the use time of the era name was relatively long on average.[6] The change of era began roughly the year after the new emperor ascended the throne, but there were a few special circumstances: for example, after Zhu Di's "Jingnan campaign" succeeded in 1402, the Jianwen era name was abolished in that year and was changed to the year of the Hongwu era name;[7][8] in 1457, after the "Duomen Coup" (奪門之變, "Storming of the Gates Incident"), the emperor emeritus Zhu Qizhen was restored, and the era was changed to "Tianshun" in that year.[9] It also happened that two edicts to change the era were promulgated in one year. For example, when the Wanli Emperor died in 1620, the Taichang Emperor ascended to the throne, and it was planned to use the Taichang era name next year (1621), but the Taichang Emperor died in the same year. The newly enthroned Tianqi Emperor adopted the opinions of the ministers, used the Taichang era name that year, and changed it to the Tianqi era name next year.[10] Because many of the era names of the Ming dynasty repeated the names of the previous dynasty, some also repeated the era name used by the peasant rebellion armies,[a] so that until the end of the Ming dynasty, some people still joked about this matter.[11]
During the Ming dynasty, outer vassals such as Joseon and the Ryukyu Kingdom also used the Ming dynasty era name. After the Joseon was forced to submit to the Qing dynasty in 1637, it used the Qing zhengshuo on the surface but secretly followed the Chongzhen era name to express the Joseon's ambition to respect the Ming and oppose the Qing.[12]
Because the interpretations of the Ming emperor's era names were mostly unrecorded in official announcements, the interpretation given by Feng Tianyu (馮天瑜) in Ming Qing nian hao tan wei (明清年號探微) is listed here for reference. The period of use of each era name comes from History of Ming, compiled by Zhang Tingyu, and Nan jiang yi shi (南疆繹史) written by Wen Ruilin (溫睿臨).

Notes
- ^ For example, the Yongle era name and the Yongle era name of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms' Zhang Yuxian and Fang La in the late Northern Song have the same name; the Tianshun era name and the Tianshun era name of the Red Coat Army (紅襖軍) in the late Jin (金) and the Tianshun Emperor of the Yuan dynasty have the same name; the Zhengde era name and the Zhengde era name of the Western Xia have the same name, etc.

- ^ The Prince of Lu (魯) regime continued to use the "Hongguang" era name until 15 February 1646 (Hongguang 1, 30th day of the 12th month; 弘光元年十二月三十日).[37]
- ^ a b c The Kingdom of Tungning adopted the "Yongli" era name until 15 September 1683 (Kangxi 22/Yongli 37, 25th day of the 7th month; 康熙二十二年/永曆三十七年七月二十五日), when it surrendered to Shi Lang because of its defeat at the Battle of Penghu. Therefore, the "Yongli" era name had been in total use for 36 years, 7 months, and 25 days.[40]

景泰七年秋,妖賊李珍者,浙之錢塘人也,為火居道士,聞苗賊作亂,往投之。遇武當山道士魏元衝於途,與言:「我有異相,汝隨我當富貴。」因同往苗賊執銀寨中,謂曰:「我唐太宗之後,生時有紫氣三晝夜。今聞空中人言,命我率兵征討天下,遂與元衝同至此。」苗賊俱順之。築臺偽稱皇帝,書 「天順」年號,封苗首等為侯及都司等官,率兵二萬至天柱,為都指揮湛清擒獲,解京磔之。不數月而上皇復辟,正用此紀年。萑符小寇,乃與聖主同號,蓋機兆亦非偶然。但「天順」二字,在遼穆宗已自稱為徽號。金宣宗時,蓋都楊安兒者,亦僭號天順。至故元泰定帝崩,其太子阿速吉人,即位於上都,亦以天順為年號。俱著之史冊。時武人石亨輩不足責,徐武功亦不學之甚矣!
