Culture

The Ming dynasty was filled with culture over the years. Music, dance, poetry and an advanced economy  surpassed other dynasties. With the large emphasis on arts, the Ming Dynasty was the most culturally advanced of all the dynasties. 
 
With the advanced economy they were able to build roads, canals and buildings with highly sophisticated architecture.  Improvements were made to the Great Wall during this time.

The emperor's life was rich with culture. There were royal ceremonies, parties and dances with music and food. Porcelain was used extensively in the palaces for decoration as it was a huge part of their economy. The famous dragon  and nature designs found on the porcelain were also used in paintings, clothing and architecture. Those designs are still recognized around the world as unique Ming Dynasty pieces.
