	Jingtai Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zhu Qiyu (September 21, 1428 – March 14, 1457) was Emperor of China of the Ming Dynasty from 1449 to 1457 as the Jingtai Emperor.
		His brother was eventually released in 1450 after the Mongols learned that the Ming government had already installed Jingtai as the new emperor.
		After Jingtai's death, the Emperor Tianshun denied Jingtai's rightful honour to be buried in the 13 Ming tombs (along with the rest of his predecessors) located north of Beijing but was instead buried away from that locale west of Beijing and was buried as a prince rather than an emperor.

	Zhengtong Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He ruled as the Zhengtong Emperor from 1435 to 1449, and as the Tianshun Emperor from 1457 to 1464.
		The Zhengtong Emperor was released one year later in 1450 but when he returned to China, he was immediately put under house arrest by his brother for almost seven years.
		Overcome with grief, the Jingtai Emperor fell ill and Zhengtong decided to depose Jingtai by a palace coup which eventually reinstalled Zhu Qizhen as emperor, who renamed his second reign Tianshun ("heavenly obedience") and went on to rule for another seven years.

		Zheng He, a eunuch, served as a close confidant of the Yongle Emperor of China (reigned 1403 - 1424), the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

	Water sprites and ancestor spirits: reading the architecture of Jinci. - The Art Bulletin - HighBeam Research
		The stela inscriptions from the second emperors of both the Tang and Song dynasties reveal a tension between the worship of Shu Yu of Tang and the Spirit of the Jin Springs.
		These emperors were interested not in the spring but in creating a record (or having one created) of themselves supporting the historical founder of the territory in order to bolster their own sovereignty.
		As the eleventh-century emperors of the Northern Song moved to recognize local spirits in addition to those with national political significance, the Spirit of the Jin Springs was given official status.

	Emperor Xuanzong, Zhu Zhanji
		He was the son of Zhu Gaozhi, and grandson of Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu (Yongle Emperor), the first year of his reign.
		Like his grandfather, he was a big, beefy man with big jowls and a bigger bottom to his head than a top (at least judging from his portrait in the palace collection), but was mild in manner and humane.
		He instead seems to have been a throwback in temperament to his great-uncle, the late Jianwen Emperor, except that he was a bit of a womanizer.

		The technique came to China from the West in the fourteenth century (or earlier) and reached its height in the early Ming dynasty (1368–1644) under the rule of the Jingtai emperor (1428–1457).

		This was especially true during the reign of the Qianlong emperor (1711–1799), when the wires were gilded, designs were complex and busy, and frequent firings dulled the finish.
