 Chenghua Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chenghua Emperor (December 9, 1447 – September 9, 1487) was Emperor of the Ming dynasty in China, between 1464 and 1487.
Chenghua was only reinstated as crown prince on the eve of death of Emperor Jingtai in 1457.
Chenghua's reign was also more autocratic than his predecessors' and freedom was sharply curtailed when Chenghua established institutes such as the Xi Chang (to compliment the existing Dong Chang), monitoring all civilians' actions and words.

Zhu Qizhen (November 29, 1427–February 23, 1464) was an emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
The Zhengtong Emperor was released one year later but when he returned to China, he was put under house arrest by his brother for six years.
After the death of his heir apparent, the Jingtai Emperor fell ill and he was deposed by a palace coup which eventually reinstalled Zhu Qizhen as emperor, who called his second reign Tianshun ("heavenly obedience").

China is one of the countries where colored pottery first appeared.
During the reigns of emperors Yongle and Xuande, thin-body and bright-colored blue and white porcelains were all over the world for their varied patterns and shapes.

 Imperial Elegance - Chinese Ceramics from Asia Society's Rockefeller Collection
In this piece colors such as the white-pink and pale green of the peaches and the bright yellow of the loquats were only possible because of the expanded palette made available by the development of opaque enamels during the early eighteenth century at the imperial kilns and factories at Jingdezhen.
However, under the Xuande emperor the use of these marks was well established, as was the elevated status of porcelains as symbols of imperial taste.
Porcelains made during and for the reign of the Chenghua emperor are considered to be some of the finest Chinese porcelains ever made.

Considering and comparing the damage and harm all the Ming Emperors have caused during their reign, i'd rank Shenzong as the worst Ming emperor, 2nd would be Yingzong, 3rd is Wuzong and the last would be Xizong, also know as the carpenter emperor-LOL.
Liu Song has many deposed emperors for such a short time in power, it and the southern dynasties that followed are a good place to look for palace intrigues, conspiracies, plots and counter plots, and all that juicy stuff, making North-South Dynasties one of my favorite era.
Although the emperor degenerated as his reign wore on and he fought battle after battle with his intransigent and corrupt bureaucracy, in his early years he responded vigorously to two rebellions and the Japanese invasion of Korea.

It is possible that the patronage of the emperor's favorite, Wan Gufei, was responsible for the promotion of several decorative techniques at the Jingdezhen kilns.
Premier among these is the fabled Chenghua doucai ("contrasting colors" or "contending colors"), which is a combination of two ornamental processes.
Doucai-style enameling was usually reserved for intimate objects of exquisite refinement, and the rare examples of Chenghua date are some of the most highly treasured of all Ming-dynasty porcelains.

Some of the thinnest porcelain bodies made during the Ming period were produced during the reign of the Chenghua emperor (reigned 1465 - 1487), and with their refined bodies, they are considered some of the finest Chinese porcelains ever made.
Bowls such as this one painted with stylized lotuses belong to a category known as "palace bowls." The decoration on this bowl is exquisitely rendered, and it is covered with a thinner and smoother glaze than was used on earlier porcelains.
Such bowls, which have subtly rounded sides and small, high foot rims, appear to have been produced exclusively during the reign of the Chenghua emperor.
