Description
The Ming Dynasty, ruling China from 1368 to 1644, was marked by a resurgence in Chinese culture, arts, and economy. Founded by Zhu Yuanzhang (Hongwu Emperor) after overthrowing the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty, it restored Han Chinese rule. The dynasty is known for its strong centralized government, expansion of the Great Wall, and significant naval explorations led by Admiral Zheng He. The Ming period saw a flourishing of literature, painting, and ceramics, with blue and white porcelain becoming highly prized. Despite its cultural achievements, the Ming Dynasty faced internal strife, corruption, and external pressures, eventually falling to the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty.
