Prince of Dai (Ming dynasty)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prince of Dai (Chinese: 代王) was a Ming dynasty princely peerage created by the Hongwu Emperor for his 13th son, Zhu Gui, in 1378. The peerage was initially named the Prince of Yu (Chinese: 豫王) with its fief in Nanchang. In 1392, the peerage gained its present name and its fief was relocated to Datong,[1] one of the nine strategically important cities of the Ming dynasty since 1487.[2]

The holders of Prince of Dai peerage used the following generation poem:

逊仕成聪俊,充廷鼐鼎彝,傅贻连秀郁,炳耀壮洪基.

Xun Shi Cheng Cong Jun, Chong Ting Nai Ding Yi, Fu Yi Lian Xiu Yu, Bing Yao Zhuang Hong Ji

The generation poem was used until Fu generation which was the same generation as that of Zhu Cilang, a crown prince of Chongzhen Emperor.
