Zhu ZhenZhu Youzhen – The name "Zhu Youzhen" and its Wade-Giles equivalent "Chu Yu-chen" are more commonly encountered in literature for this particular person than the names "Zhu Zhen" and its equivalent "Chu Chen". See e.g. The Cambridge History of China Volume 5 (2009), or The Structure of Power in North China During the Five Dynasties (1963). Typically, Chinese emperors change their given names once they become emperors for naming taboo reasons; it is also due to naming taboo that this new name cannot be used to call him during his time, or for several generations after his death. This is why historians typically prefer using original names for emperors: why use a name that nobody else in his time could use? Another point, it can be very confusing to use "Zhu Zhen" for the emperor as "Zhu Zhen" is also the name of a notable general (朱珍) who served this emperor's father Zhu Wen. --Relisted.
