	Ming Dynasty - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Ming Dynasty (Chinese: 明朝; Pinyin: míng cháo) was the ruling dynasty of China from 1368 to 1644, though claims to the Ming throne (now collectively called the Southern Ming) survived until 1662.
		Under Ming rule, a vast navy and army was built, with four masted ships displacing 1,500 tons and a standing army of one million troops.
		This question is particularly poignant, considering the parallels between the commercialization of the Ming economy, the so-called age of "incipient capitalism" in China, and the rise of commercial capitalism in the West.

		During a struggle for power in Annam (northern Vietnam) a Ming army of 215,000 invaded in 1406, and it was declared a Chinese province; but a liberation movement began in 1408, accelerated in 1418, and was a problem Yongle left to his successors.
		Preparations for moving the Ming capital from Nanjing to Beijing went on for years but little was accomplished until completion of the Grand Canal in 1415 allowed large shipments of grain and building supplies.
		In the early Ming period Confucians served the administration, and they were still strongly influenced by the great Song Neo-Confucians Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi.

	Traditional History: The Ming Voyages
		The Ming dynasty (1368-1644) was a Chinese dynasty, a Chinese imperial family, as distinct from the dynasty that came before it (the Mongol, or Yuan, dynasty of Chinggis and Kubilai Khan--see the Marco Polo unit) or the one that followed it (the Manchu, or Qing, dynasty--see the Macartney unit).
		The third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di or the Yongle Emperor, was particularly aggressive and personally led major campaigns against Mongolian tribes to the north and west.
		The Ming court was divided into many factions, most sharply into the pro-expansionist voices led by the powerful eunuch factions that had been responsible for the policies supporting Zheng Ho's voyages, and more traditional conservative Confucian court advisers who argued for frugality.

		The Ming Cult had a short revival during the Yuan dynasty when many people joined their ranks to fight the Mongolian government, but after the founding of the Ming dynasty in 1368, the cult slowly disappeared and eventually ceased to exist.
		The historical Ming Cult never had this sort of practice, so there was no reason to wear the symbol of fire on their clothing.

		Having its capital first at Nanjing, and later at Beijing, the Ming reached the zenith of power during the first quarter of the fifteenth century.
		The stability of the Ming Dynasty, which was without major disruptions of the population (then about 100 million), economy, arts, society, or politics, promoted a belief among the Chinese that they had achieved the most satisfactory civilization on earth and that nothing foreign was needed or welcome.
		Long wars with the Mongols, incursions by the Japanese into Korea, and harassment of Chinese coastal cities by the Japanese in the sixteenth century weakened Ming rule, which became, as earlier Chinese dynasties had, ripe for alien takeover.

		Ming Tsai, acclaimed chef and public television cooking show host, has made his sophisticated, highly flavorful style accessible to the home cook by organizing the cookbook around about 30 "master" recipes - flavor bases that are made ahead, stored in the refrigerator or freezer, and then later used in a complete recipe.

		The Mongols were driven out of China in 1367 and native rule under the Ming dynasty officially began in early 1368, under the Hongwu emperor, who made his capital at Nanjing.
		Following a familiar pattern, the later Ming emperors were increasingly ineffective or inattentive, and the government became virtually paralyzed by factionalism and corruption.
		Carefully chosen names embodying literary allusions and poems on scenic spots were essential to the prestige of the garden, following the model of the Wangchuan Villa of Wang Wei in the Tang dynasty (see Study Sheet #7).
