Ming Dynasty
About Ming Dynasty
The Ming dynasty, officially the Great Ming, was an imperial dynasty of China that ruled from 1368 to 1644, following the collapse of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty. The Ming was the last imperial dynasty of China ruled by the Han people, the majority ethnic group in China. Although the primary capital of Beijing fell in 1644 to a rebellion led by Li Zicheng, numerous rump regimes ruled by remnants of the Ming imperial family, collectively called the Southern Ming, survived until 1662.

Other times Ming Dynasty came up
X Factor spend a night sleeping next to Simon Carroll, but I know how they whittled it down. Go on. It was in that brilliant piece. Yeah. In the Ming Dynasty. Which was the one just before. Yes. We've got records of how they whittled it down. They picked 5,000 young women, and then they eliminated 1,000 on the first day for being too short or tall or fat or thin.
