びょうごう
廟号
1. temple name (a two-character posthumous name given to Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese royalty)
2. name given to a mausoleum (or shrine, etc.)
3. Temple nameTemple names are commonly used when naming most Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese royalty. They should not be confused with era names. Compared to posthumous names, the use of temple names is more exclusive. Both titles were given after death to an emperor or king, but unlike the often elaborate posthumous name, a temple name always consists of only two characters: an adjective: chosen to reflect the circumstances of the emperor's reign (such as "Martial" or "Lamentable").
