On this week lecture we read about the ming dynasty which began in 1368 and lasted until 1644 during this time Hongwu the emperador made many changes to China, for example he moved the capital which was originally located in Nanjing to be Beijing. Another change that Hongwu made in China were the currency, at first china used paper currency then because of the lack of knowledge about inflation Hongwu change the paper currency to copper currency. There were also great achievements during Ming Dynasty, for example the novels which are known as the best novels read it today, as well as the written of encyclopedias with a variety of fields as a example Geography, Music and Medicine. Most importantly the building of the great wall even though the walls have been build before, the most part of the walls have been constructed by The Ming Dynasty which is one of the greatest sight in the world.
