Supported by the Geiss Hsu Foundation, the conference examined the personality and career of Zhu Yuanzhang, founder of the Ming Dynasty. It features 31 thematically-related articles, eleven of which were later published by the Chinese University Press as Ming Taizu’s Ideas on Statecraft and Their Implementation.
