Ming Dynasty (jan 1, 1368 – jan 1, 1644)
Description:
Political - Ruled by Emperor Hongwu, the Ming dynasty was the recovery period of China after the Bubonic plague. Because it came after the Yuan dynasty, ruled by the Mongols, Hongwu set to terminate all traces of Mongol rule and established a government using the traditional Chinese dynasties as its model. The new rulers also rebuilt irrigation systems, promoted the manufacture of porcelain lacquerware, and fine silk, and cotton textiles.
