in 75, emperor ming died. his will ordered that no temple be built for him, and that he only be worshipped as part of the worship of his mother empress dowager yin. (this became a systematic reform that the rest of the eastern han dynasty emperors largely followed; they did not have separate temples built for themselves, but instead were worshipped along with emperor guangwu. this was a major saving compared to the western han system of building a separate temple for each emperor.) his son crown prince da succeeded to the throne as emperor zhang.
