Zhu Yuanzhang fought in the north, the Northern Expedition Army leveled Shandong, and the Southern Expedition Army surrendered to Fang Guozhen. At this time, China's vast land is in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, and it's time to proclaim himself emperor. After the preparatory work, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Ji (Liu Bowen) to choose a date, that is, Daming, the name of the four countries in the first month of A.D. 1368, and officially proclaimed himself emperor. Historically, the titles of dynasties have their special meanings, and there are generally four categories. The first category is the place names in the early days of the uprising, such as Qin and Han dynasties; The second category is native products, such as gold; The third category is knighthood, such as Sui and Tang Dynasties; Finally, words with special meanings, such as Yuan and Daming, belong to the fourth category.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, with the slogan "A one-eyed stone man stirred the Yellow River against the world", there were uprisings all over the country. The man who shouted this slogan was a believer Han, who claimed to be the Ming king. When Zhu Yuanzhang's strength was still weak, he claimed to be under Wang Xiaoming and Han Liner. With the protection of the "big tree" Han Liner, Zhu Yuanzhang has made great progress. Wang Xiaoming Han Liner sank and drowned in Guazhou, and Liu Ji (Liu Bowen) suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang inherit the country name. Although Zhu Yuanzhang is the head of the family, he should also listen to the opinions of the following people.

Zhu Yuanzhang's men are divided into two types. One is the peasant class, most of whom are from Huaixi, educated by Zoroastrianism Peng Yingyu, and the rest are old subordinates of Guo Zixing or some capitulationists, all of whom are influenced by Zoroastrianism. Zhu Yuanzhang inherited Wang Xiaoming's legacy. Everyone is an Amin, and the whole family should be harmonious. Zhu Yuanzhang's unification of the whole country also symbolizes the end of the dark rule and the beginning of a new life. Ming Chengzu is alive, namely Zhu Yuanzhang. Everyone should trust him, so that the people can live with peace of mind and honesty. The other is the landlord class represented by Confucian scholars. According to Confucianism, Ming characters represent light and the sun and the moon are separated, which is a proper sacrifice in Confucian sacrifices, so these Confucian scholars also agree to call it the Great Ming Dynasty.
