The author offers a thematically organized political, social, and economic exploration of China from 1368 to 1644. He examines how the Ming dynasty was able to endure for 276 years, illuminating Ming foreign relations and border control, the lives and careers of its sixteen emperors, its system of governance and the kinds of people who served it, its great class of literati, and finally the mass outlawry that, in unhappy conjunction with the Manchu invasions from outside, ended the once-mighty dynasty in the mid-seventeenth century. The Ming dynasty witnessed the beginning of China's contact with the West,. 000471062 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000471062 651_0 $$aChina$$xHistory$$yMing dynasty, 1368-1644. 000471062 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000471062 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDardess, John W., 1937-$$tMing China, 1368-1644.$$dLanham, Md. : Rowman & Littlefield, c2012$$z9781442204904$$z9781442204911$$w(DLC) 2011014079$$w(OCoLC)711959934 000471062 830_0 $$aCritical issues in world and international history. 000471062 8520_ $$bacq 000471062 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000471062 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=787365$$zOnline Access 000471062 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:471062$$pGLOBAL_SET 000471062 980__ $$aEBOOK 000471062 980__ $$aBIB 000471062 982__ $$aEbook 000471062 983__ $$aOnline
