A system in which one era name is used for each reign. In China, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty (→Emperor Hongwu) established the era name Hongwu, and successive emperors followed suit after this system, including the Qing Dynasty. Japan adopted this system from the Meiji period onwards. This led to the custom of referring to the reigning emperor with the era name added, such as Emperor Hongwu in Japan and Emperor Meiji in Japan.

君主1代ごとに1つの元号を用いる制度。中国では明の太祖 (→洪武帝 ) が洪武の年号を立て,この制度を始めてから歴代の皇帝がこれにならい,清朝もこれを踏襲した。日本では明治からこれを採用した。これにより君主の呼称を洪武帝,日本では明治天皇のごとく,元号を付して呼ぶならわしとなった。
