明升1366年繼其父明玉珍為大夏皇帝,改元開熙,時明升年僅10歲,其母彭皇后攝政。明太祖朱元璋北伐成功後,遣使命明升歸降,遭到明升拒絶,洪武四年(1371年),明軍由湯和、傅友德率領攻破重慶,明升出降,大夏國滅亡。
洪武五年(1372年),明升全家被流放朝鮮,被朝鮮國王李成桂封為華蜀君,享受“忠勳世祿”,定居開城興國寺。彭皇后去世後,安葬在鬆都萬壽山的肅陵,並建有祠宇。
明升在朝鮮育有四子,皆為朝鮮高官,後世為朝鮮望族。 現今有4萬多明氏後裔在韓國,兩萬多在朝鮮,而在中國境內的後人多改為甘姓。
Ming Sheng Yu with four sons in North Korea are all North Korean officials, the Korean family in later generations. Today there are more than 40,000 descendants of the Ming's in South Korea, more than 20,000 in Korea, and the descendants in China more than willing to name.
