Are one of the statements about the Ming dynasty is false?

Yes, one common misconception about the Ming dynasty is that it was solely focused on isolationism. While the Ming did implement some isolationist policies, particularly in the later years, the dynasty initially engaged in significant maritime exploration, most notably during the voyages of Admiral Zheng He. Furthermore, the Ming period was marked by vibrant trade, cultural exchanges, and advancements in various fields. Therefore, the idea that the Ming dynasty was entirely isolationist is misleading.


Why was the ming dynasty called ming?

Ming means brilliant in Chinese. Hongwu named this dynasty "brilliant" because he wanted to show case Chinese society after the Mongol expulsion and erase all memory that the occupation had ever occured. So the Ming Dynasty = the Brilliant Dynasty. (Add on: it's not just because Ming means bright, but because it comes from the Ming religion. In the last years of Yuan Dynasty, there were floods from Yellow River and earthquake and the government was corrupted. The natural disasters were thought as a 'message from sky'. The religion of Ming was basically about the world made up of good and evil (bright and dark), when dark time comes, a 'ming' king will appear. Hongwu Emperor believed he was the ming king, so the dynasty was called 'Ming'. ) P.S. Most of the other dynasties were named after a place, or a title the emperor was given when they were a warlord.
