Description

Explore the complex administrative structure of Ming dynasty China through this detailed academic study. This book examines the dual capital system, focusing specifically on the functions of the Southern Capital, Nanjing, between 1368 and 1644. While some scholars have viewed the Southern Capital as redundant or insignificant, this work presents a different perspective. It argues that the vast size of the Chinese empire and the limitations of pre-modern communication required an additional administrative center to maintain effective control. By studying the role of Nanjing, readers gain a better understanding of how the Ming realm was managed across its massive geographical expanse. This volume provides a necessary look at how the Southern Capital supported the primary northern administration to ensure stable governance during this era.
