| The
chart below lists Ming emperors through the Southern Ming
period. Included are the Given Names (in pinying
and Wade Giles), reign dates, reign names and temple names
(both in pinyin only).
On
the next page, under Illustrated
Ming Emperors, we show the very beginnings
of a separate Geiss Foundation project of the Illustrated
History of the Ming Dynasty, which we hope with
adequate resources and funding can be completed for publication
in a few years. Students of Ming history interested
in participating in this research project may contribute
illustrations, comments or contact us about collaboration. |
