The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost five centuries, it served as the home of the Emperor and his household, as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_CityThe Ming Dynasty (Chinese: 明朝; pinyin: Míng Cháo), or Empire of the Great Ming (traditional Chinese: 大明國; simplified Chinese: 大明国; pinyin: Dà Míng Guó), was the ruling dynasty of China from 1368 to 1644, following the collapse of the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty.Ming rule saw the construction of a vast navy and a standing army of one million troops. Although private maritime trade and official tribute missions from China had taken place in previous dynasties, the tributary fleet under the Muslim eunuch admiral Zheng He in the 15th century surpassed all others in sheer size. There were enormous projects of construction, including the restoration of the Grand Canal and the Great Wall and the establishment of the Forbidden City in Beijing during the first quarter of the 15th century. Estimates for the population in the late Ming era vary from 160 to 200 million. The University of Calgary states that "the Ming created one of the greatest eras of orderly government and social stability in human history."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_DynastyThe Jianwen Emperor (December 5, 1377July 13, 1402), with the personal name Zhu Yunwen, reigned as the second Emperor of the Ming dynasty.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jianwen_EmperorThe Yongle Emperor (Wade-Giles: Yung-lo; May 2, 1360 August 12, 1424), born Zhu Di (Chu Ti) , was the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty of China from 1402 to 1424. His era name "Yongle" means "Perpetual Happiness". He is generally considered arguably the greatest emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and to be among the greatest Chinese emperors.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yongle_EmperorA Brief Chinese ChronologyI,Xia Dynasty夏朝(c2070-1600 B.C)II,Shang Dynasty商朝(c1600-1046 B.C.)III,Zhou Dynasty周朝1,Western zhou 西周(c11th-771 B.C.),2,Eastern Zhou东周(770-256 B.C.)1),Spring and Autumn Period春秋(770-476 B.C)2),Warring States战国(475-211 B.C)IV,Qin Dynasty秦朝(221-207 B.C.)V,Han Dynasty汉朝(206 B.C.-220)1,Western han西汉(206 B.C.-24)2,Eastern Han东汉(25-220)VI,Three Kingdoms三国(220-280)1,Wei魏(220-265)2,Shu Han蜀汉(221-263)3,Wu吴(222-280)VII,Western Jin Dynasty西晋(265-316)VIII,Eastern Jin Dynasty东晋(3170420)IX,Northern and Southern Dynasties南北朝1,Southern Dynasty南朝1),Song宋(420-479)2),Qi齐(479-502)3),Liang梁(502-557)4),Chen陈(557-589)2,Northern Dynasties北朝1),Northern Wei北魏(386-534)2),Eastern Wei东魏(534-550)3),Northern Qi北齐(550-556)4),Western Wei西魏(535-556)5),Northern Zhou北周(557-581)X,Sui Dynasty隋朝(581-618)XI,Tang Dynasty唐朝(618-907)XII,Five Dynasties五代1,Later Liang后梁(907-923)2,Later Tang后唐(923-936)3,Later Jin后晋(936-946)4,Later Han后汉(947-950)5,Later Zhou后周(951-960)XIII,Song Dynasty宋朝1,Northern Song Dynasty北宋(960-1127)2,Southern Song Dynasty南宋(1127-1279)XIV,Liao Dynasty辽朝(916-1125)XV,Jin Dynasty金朝(1115-1234)XVI,Yuan Dynasty元朝(1271-1368)XVII,Ming Dynasty明朝(1368-1644)XVIII,Qing Dynasty清朝(1644-1911)
