> Along with Tibetan Buddhist theme, I borrowed many ideas of art styles from many other places.
 * =Technology/Achievements or Accomplishments= ||
 * * I moved the capital to northern Beijing from southern Nanjing.
 * 1) To be closer to China's mainland
 * 2) For more protection and defense army for any type of mongol invasion.
 * I shaped the city in boxes to differ itself from other countries. By doing so, the Ming dynasty influenced others through boxes within boxes of the city walls.
 * I was the founder of the Forbidden city
 * I ran several sea expeditions to parts of western Asia and beyond, along with to the east. This also helped me to expand my empire farther. ||
 * =Culture= ||
 * * Because I moved the capital to Beijing, I live in the Forbidden city in which I have created for myself and my other trusted court officials to stay. This city is surrounded by gardens and detailed architecture to its finest arts.
 * I am greatly influenced by Islamic metal material and glass to produce porcelain, which is evolving in the kinds of arts being used in my reign period.
 * I also wrote an encyclopedia that took a few years to produce with the help of scholars which includes several hundreds of chapters and volumes. ||
 * =Religion= ||
 * I have been opened to many different religions for not every religion is one man's favorite to practice and follow. By inviting many far away monks and philosophers to China, they have brought many new ideas of religion such as Tibetan Buddhism and Karmapa. For accepting these religions into China titles such as "Precious Religious King" or "Mighty Buddha of Peace" I was respected from listening to Deshin Shekpa sayings on religion ideas. ||

 * //1421- Today I have been able to successfully move the capital into Beijing and build the Forbidden City. After many years of building about 9,000 rooms to make up this wonderful city, I can live in it and have my officials be allowed to live here too. The palace has been built in a complicated way to conceal its secrets and later discoveries. It has been surrounded by court yards for ceremonies and// //hall ways for certain people to go into. A couple of shrines are being set up for the people, and many of the people have been accustomed to their new home. I, myself, has been brilliant in moving the capital for the people.

1408- I am working on a cyclopedia that I have a few scholars creating for me, in which I hope it brings the message of everything involving the Ming Dynasty to its modern day. The scholars are estimating that about 11,000 volumes will be needed to explain the entire empire and life surrounding it.

1402- Recently, my strong well, well armed and trained army has once again won another war invasion. This time we fought Vietnam and had gain more territory as for controlling Vietnam under China's authority. Many people still praise me as one of the few military leaders to be the best in position. The war that took place was simple and non competitive though, but China is still considered to be the mightiest.// ||
