In this new part of the ming we explore the next generations of rulers, how the Hongwu founding emperor was followed up by his family members. At first there is a coup en then a recoup, a displacment of the capital, a rturn, then back to the new capital and before you know it there have 3 generations passed.
One of the main topics here is the similarities between wudang Daoist gongfu culture and the Ming as its inspiration, but becasue we also discuss some of the generational exploits, such as the travels of Zheng Ho, and the influence of Song dynasty starters of Neo-Confucianism, we also discuss these thinkers of the Song and how they shaped the Ming and modern Taiji gongfu culture at Wudang mountian, as well as modern Chinese politics, following the Ming playbook.
