		Zhu Di was greatly interested in establishing commercial ties with foreign lands, to increase the overall prosperity of China through trade.

		The Yongle (永樂)Emperor, Zhu Di, will forever be known as the man who initiated the great fleets and sent them out under the command of the Admiral Zheng He.
		Although Zhu Di’s edicts were infallible on a nominal basis, the costliness of his exploits often provoked criticism among the advisors, made up of Confusian scholars and court eunichs, even if this criticism was not voiced before the Emperor.
		Zhu Di’s son reversed much of his father’s policies in his brief tenure as Emperor, in 1425, but his grandson, Zhu Zhanji, was a great admirer of his grandfather, and turned much of it back.

		Zhu Xi has continually been regarded by most Asianists as the peerless systematic rationalist who so enhanced coherence and unity within Confucian high culture that it was readily accepted as intellectual and state orthodoxy soon after his death in 1200.
		Zhu’s conception of tien incorporated traditionalistic notions of consciousness and authority, so it was not as purely rationalistic as modern champions of his philosophy have claimed.
		In the process of such activities and pronouncements, Zhu was promoting his own status as the sole person of his day who was qualified to be the successor to the sages, the authoritative reader of the classics, and the spokesman for the dao tradition and fellowship.
