His temple name was Shenzong and his era name was Wanli. This entry records his birth in 1563 and his death on 18 August 1620.[^wikidata] Juan 20 of the Ming History gives his personal name as Yijun. The cited Wikidata aliases give the full name Zhu Yijun.[^zhengshi][^wikidata]\n\n## Heir apparent\n\nThe Ming History says he was the third son of the Longqing Emperor, and his mother was Consort Li. He was named heir apparent in the second year of Longqing, at the age of six. The annals say his bearing was uncommon. When the emperor told him to gallop a horse in the palace, he replied that the lord of the realm should not ride wildly, for fear of a fall. The emperor was pleased and dismounted to praise him. While Empress Chen was ill in a separate palace, he went each morning with the consort to ask after her. The empress rose when she heard their steps. He asked her about the classics, she answered, and the consort was glad. The two palaces grew more harmonious.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Accession\n\nThe Longqing Emperor died in the fifth month of his sixth year. On the jiazi day of the sixth month Zhu Yijun took the throne, named the next year the first of Wanli, and proclaimed an amnesty. Ministers who had died loyal to the Jianwen court were commemorated in their districts, and their descendants were recorded for honor. Gao Gong was dismissed that month. Gao Yi died. Minister of Rites Lü Tiaoyang entered the grand secretariat. In the seventh month grain transport was opened to Miyun, and the court was warned to drop old habits. The empress was honored as Empress Dowager Rensheng, and Consort Li as Empress Dowager Cisheng. In the ninth month the Longqing Emperor was buried at the Zhaoling. In the twelfth month, because the mourning period was not over, the lanterns of the next New Year and the palace banquet were cancelled.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Scope of this juan\n\nJuan 20 is the first half of the Shenzong annals. Its sections run from the sixth year of Longqing through the twenty-fourth year of Wanli. The passage read here is the opening and the sixth year of Longqing. It does not reach a death scene in the forty-eighth year of Wanli, so none is added. The death date remains the 18 August 1620 already stored on this entry.[^zhengshi][^wikidata]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Zhu Yijun[^wikidata]\n- Temple name: Shenzong[^zhengshi]\n- Era name: Wanli[^zhengshi]\n- Place in the dynasty: thirteenth Ming emperor[^wikidata]\n- Realm: Ming[^wikidata]\n- Birthplace: [[place_beijing|Beijing]][^wikidata]\n- Occupation recorded on this entry: poet[^wikidata]", "url": "/people/wanli.html", "lang": "en", "availableLangs": [ "zh", "en" ], "birth": { "year": 1563, "display": "1563" }, "death": { "year": 1620, "month": 8, "day": 18, "display": "18 August 1620" }, "personCategory": "historical figure" }, "entities": null, "tags": [ { "id": "tag-ancient-china", "slug": "ancient-china", "name": "Ancient China", "description": "History, people and administrative divisions from the pre-Qin era to the Qing dynasty.", "names": { "ar": "الصين القديمة", "de": "Das alte China", "en": "Ancient China", "es": "China antigua", "fr": "Chine ancienne", "hi": "प्राचीन चीन", "id": "Tiongkok kuno", "it": "Cina antica", "ja": "中国古代", "ko": "중국 고대", "ms": "China purba", "nl": "Het oude China", "pt": "China antiga", "ru": "Древний Китай", "th": "จีนโบราณ", "tr": "Antik Çin", "vi": "Trung Quốc cổ đại", "zh": "中国古代", "zh-hant": "中國古代" }, "descriptions": { "ar": "التاريخ والشخصيات والتقسيمات الإدارية من عصر ما قبل تشين إلى أسرة تشينغ.", "de": "Geschichte, Personen und Verwaltungsgliederung von der Zeit vor Qin bis zur Qing-Dynastie.", "en": "History, people and administrative divisions from the pre-Qin era to the Qing dynasty.", "es": "Historia, personajes y divisiones administrativas desde la era pre-Qin hasta la dinastía Qing.", "fr": "Histoire, personnages et divisions administratives de l'époque pré-Qin à la dynastie Qing.", "hi": "चिन-पूर्व काल से चिंग राजवंश तक का इतिहास, व्यक्ति और प्रशासनिक विभाजन।", "id": "Sejarah, tokoh, dan pembagian administratif dari era pra-Qin hingga Dinasti Qing.", "it": "Storia, personaggi e divisioni amministrative dall'epoca pre-Qin alla dinastia Qing.", "ja": "先秦から清代までの歴史・人物・行政区画。", "ko": "先秦부터 청대까지의 역사·인물·행정 구역.", "ms": "Sejarah, tokoh dan bahagian pentadbiran dari zaman pra-Qin hingga Dinasti Qing.", "nl": "Geschiedenis, personen en bestuurlijke indeling van de pre-Qin-periode tot de Qing-dynastie.", "pt": "História, personagens e divisões administrativas da era pré-Qin até à dinastia Qing.", "ru": "История, персоналии и административное деление от доциньской эпохи до династии Цин.", "th": "ประวัติศาสตร์ บุคคล และเขตการปกครองตั้งแต่ยุคก่อนฉินจนถึงราชวงศ์ชิง", "tr": "Qin öncesi dönemden Qing hanedanına kadar tarih, kişiler ve idari bölümler.", "vi": "Lịch sử, nhân vật và đơn vị hành chính từ thời Tiền Tần đến nhà Thanh.", "zh": "先秦至清代的历史、人物与政区。", "zh-hant": "先秦至清代的歷史、人物與政區。" }, "count": 1085 } ], "relations": [ { "id": "relation_cnpeople_born_q10061", "fromId": "person_cn_q10061", "relationType": "born_in", "toId": "place_beijing", "sourceRefs": [ { "entityId": "person_cn_q10061", "sourceId": "wikidata" } ], "label": "Born in", "targetId": "place_beijing", "targetTitle": "Beijing", "targetUrl": "/en/places/beijing.html", "incoming": false } ], "versions": [ { "revision": 7, "updatedAt": "2026-10-29T17:17:56+08:00", "message": "当前版本", "hasSnapshot": true, "url": "/en/people/wanli/at/7.html" } ], "lang": "en", "availableLangs": [ "zh", "en" ], "infoFields": [ { "key": "birth_date", "label": "Birth", "value": "1563" }, { "key": "death_date", "label": "Death", "value": "18 August 1620" }, { "key": "person_category", "label": "Person category", "value": "historical figure" } ], "relationsTotal": 1, "relationCounts": [ { "relationType": "born_in", "incoming": false, "label": "Born in", "total": 1 } ] }
