Hongwu Emperor
The Ming Dynasty strongly believed in isolationism. In the 1430s, the Hongwu Emperor made Zheng He return from his voyages and entered a long period of isolationism. The Hongwu Emperor scuttled the ships and burnt the voyage's records. He banned all foreign trade. Since the Ming Dynasty was already thriving and was very self-sufficient, the emperor stopped all trade in China saying it needed nothing from the outside "barbarian" world. The main reason why Emperor Hongwu sent China into this long period, known as the dark ages of China, was since it was very expensive to manage the navy fleets when China's main threats were from the Mongols in the north.
