Jingtai (era)

Jingtai (14 January 1450 – 14 February 1457) was the era name (nianhao) of the Jingtai Emperor, the seventh emperor of the Ming dynasty, lasting for seven years. On 11 February 1457 (Jingtai 8, 17th day of the 1st month), Emperor Yingzong took advantage of the Jingtai Emperor's serious illness and inability to attend court, launching the "Duomen Coup" (, 'Storming of the Gates Incident') and reclaiming his imperial throne. On 15 February of the same year (21st day of the 1st month), Emperor Yingzong changed the era to Tianshun.
