The Ming Dynasty was 1368-1644, which was the first dynasty established by the Han nationality in the history of China. Zhu Yuanzhang was the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He proclaimed himself emperor in 1368, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that he became the capital of Beijing. The Ming Dynasty experienced 12 emperors, which lasted for 276 years. Because the Ming emperor surnamed Zhu, it was also called Zhu.

In the Ming Dynasty 500 years ago, the main title was Hongzhi, which was the title of Zhu Shitang, the ninth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. During Zhu Shitang's administration, he vigorously reversed the political corruption in North Korea, made great efforts to govern politically, was generous and peaceful, practiced frugality, trusted officials, and did not go to prison, thus realizing "great governance and great rejuvenation" in history.
