A Tale of Two Melons: Emperor and Subject in Ming China
Sarah Schneewind
A commoner's presentation to the emperor of a lucky omen from his garden, the repercussions for his family, and several retellings of the incident provide the background for this introduction to Ming society, culture, and politics. This work includes discussions of the founding of the Ming dynasty; the character of the first emperor; and more.
