History. 1  The Ming dynasty, which succeeded the Yuan (Mongol) dynasty (1206â1368), was founded by Zhu Yuanzhang. 2  The basic governmental structure established by the Ming was continued by the subsequent Qing (Manchu) dynasty and lasted until the imperial institution was abolished in 1911/12.
The Ming emperors probably exercised more far-reaching influence in East Asia than any other native rulers of China, and their attitude toward the representatives of Portugal, Spain, Russia, Britain, and Holland who appeared in China before the end of their dynasty was a condescending one. Reign names - nian hao. During the Ming dynasty all rulers adopted a reign name (nianhao) for their reign period. The exception was the sixth emperor, who ruled during two period separated by an interval of eight years, that got one reign name each.
