朱元璋，即明太祖，是中国历史上明朝的开国皇帝。他的崛起充满了传奇色彩，从贫苦农民到开国君主，朱元璋的一生充满了波折与奋斗。然而，在他登基称帝之后，追封自己已故亲人以光宗耀祖，也成为他巩固皇权、彰显正统的重要手段之一。其中，他父亲朱五四（后改名为朱世珍）的追封问题，成为后人研究朱元璋家族背景与明初礼制的重要切入点。

朱元璋的父亲朱五四，原为濠州钟离（今安徽凤阳）的一位普通农民，家境贫寒。在元朝末年的动荡中，朱家生活艰难，朱五四在贫困交加中去世，并未能亲眼见到儿子朱元璋日后的辉煌成就。然而，随着朱元璋在1368年建立明朝，成为开国皇帝，他开始着手提升自己家族的社会地位和历史地位，以显示“天命所归”的正统性。

首先，朱元璋在洪武元年（1368年）登基后，，便追封自己的父亲朱五四为“仁祖”，这是一个超越普通皇族追封的尊号。按照中国古代的宗法制度和追封传统，开国皇帝通常会追封自己的父亲为“皇帝”，以确立皇位的正统性，但朱元璋的追封超出了常规。他不仅追封父亲为皇帝，还进一步将朱五四尊为“仁祖母、 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \
