Dingwu (era)

Dingwu (1646–1664) was the era name of the Dingwu Emperor of the Southern Ming. It was used for a total of 18 years.

This era name comes from Han zhu ji (韓主紀) in the Zui wei lu (罪惟錄) of Cha Jizuo (查繼佐), and the beginning and ending years of Meng Sen's (孟森) research are from 1646 to 1663. It was generally considered unreliable.
