In 1368, the Ming Dynasty was established after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, which had been ruled by the Mongols. Zhu Yuanzhang, a former monk and leader of the Red Turban Rebellion, became the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, adopting the reign name Hongwu. This marked a significant shift in Chinese history, as it restored Han Chinese rule and initiated a period of consolidation, agricultural reform, and cultural revival. The Ming Dynasty would go on to last until 1644, significantly influencing China's development.
