Long explanation on name

I kind of did feel it necessary to explain to readers the confusing background behind emperor names and why he is referred to specifically by his era name and not any other names, but it might be a bit bloated for the article though I'm a bit reluctant to cut anything out. I think maybe if we had an article on [Emperor of China], perhaps the explanation could be moved there, or if not an article on that matter, just the [Empire of China], and then we would just state in this article that Jiajing is his era name. I'm guessing there will definitely be those among you that think it's fine to just say "Jiajing is his era name" and no explanation needed on why or how though :P.

Fun fact by the way, his posthumous name is... Qīntiān Lǚdào Yīngyì Shèng​shén Xuānwén Guǎngwǔ Hóngrén Dàxiào​sù huáng​dì (欽天履道英毅聖神宣文廣武洪仁大孝肅皇帝) which literally translates to... "Heaven-venerating, Way-treading, Saintly God, Culture-declaring, Military-spreading, Humane flooding, Great Filial Reverent Emperor" (hence why it's unconventional refer to Ming dynasty emperors by posthumous names xD).
