At the other end, the Chinese drove out their Mongol overlords, inaugurated a new native dynasty called Ming (1368-1644), and reasserted the mastery of their national destiny. It was a dramatic era of change, the full significance of which can only be perceived retrospectively.With the establishment of the Ming dynasty, a major historical tension rose into prominence between more absolutist and less absolutist modes of rulership. This produced a distinctive style of rule that modern students have come to call Ming despotism. It proved a capriciously absolutist pattern for Chinese government into our own time. 410 $aMichigan Monographs In Chinese Studies 606 $aSocial Science / Cultural & Ethnic Studies / General$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aSocial Science / Cultural & Ethnic Studies / General 615 7$aSocial Science 615 0$aSocial sciences. 686 $aHIS000000$aSOC000000$aSOC008000$2bisacsh 700 $aHucker$b Charles O$0651329 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910976778603321 996 $aThe Ming dynasty$92041485 997 $aUNINA
