What is Temple Name of Emperors(帝王廟號)?

A temple name, or "miao hao”(廟號),is like the VIP nickname an ancient Chinese emperor gets after kicking the bucket. It’s the fancy title slapped on their ancestral tablet in the temple, kinda like a hall-of-fame badge. Usually, the next gen picks it based on the emperor’s big wins or vibes, like giving a historical legend a slick alias. Pretty badass way to keep their memory alive, huh? 

Giving a fun fact: All Tang's Emperors have a temple name after they are died, even they didn't do well when they are alive
