In fact, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the actor to play the emperor's empresses was because Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to control the people morally and implement an autocratic rule system. Apart from the Daming Law and Da Gao, which were promulgated during the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang tried to do it himself in politics, ethics, culture and entertainment.

Zhu Yuanzhang is really meticulous about his people, such as where people from all walks of life should live and work in peace and contentment, whether people from all walks of life should use bowls or plates when eating, and how to address the younger generation and elders. These Zhu Yuanzhang helped his people think it over and recorded it in Dabaoli. In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, this "gown" is the belief of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Without this book, life and the rule of law in the Ming Dynasty would be chaotic. Therefore, his request to the people of the Ming Dynasty is that all subjects and households should have at least one copy of Dabao, which is a guide for the people to behave and do things at ordinary times, and they are also required to recite it.

It is said that when the Ming Dynasty was first established, ordinary people did not feel the change of political power, and every day when they were full, they would go to a nearby teahouse to occupy a good position to watch the play. However, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the palace opera loved by the people disappeared, because the Daming Law promulgated by Zhu Yuanzhang clearly stipulated: "All musicians are not allowed to dress up as emperors and queens, loyal ministers and martyrs, sages and sages, and offenders are punished with a hundred sticks; The home of the government and the people allows the dresser to be guilty. "

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is understandable to do so, because as a monarch of a feudal dynasty, his first task is to ensure that his rule is autocratic enough, otherwise it is impossible to make these people listen to themselves. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was so "concerned" about all aspects of people's lives and used strict standards to regulate people's lives. In the final analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang's "entertainment restriction" is to set a moral standard for the people. Because Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the Ming Dynasty and was a feudal country, he was so autocratic in people's governance.
