Chenghua (era)
Chenghua (Chinese: 成化; pinyin: Chénghuà; Wade–Giles: Ch'eng-hua; lit. 'accomplished change'; 27 January 1465 – 13 January 1488) was the era name (nianhao) of the Chenghua Emperor (reigned 1464–1487), the ninth emperor of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). It was used for a total of 23 years.
