 Temple names should not be confused with era names and posthumous names.Among modern historians, referencing Chinese monarchs from the Tang to the Yuan dynasties, Korean rulers of the Goryeo (until 1274) and Joseon dynasties, and Vietnamese sovereigns from the Lý to Later Lê dynasties (excluding the Hồ and Later Trần dynasties) by their temple names is a common practice.Numerous individuals who did not rule as monarch during their lifetime were posthumously promoted to emperor or king by their descendants and honored with temple names; for example, Cao Cao was posthumously honored as an emperor and given the temple name "Taizu" by Cao Pi of the Cao Wei dynasty.
