In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang championed education and emphasized the importance of teaching, which laid the foundation for the educational system and institutional framework of the Ming Dynasty. Each emperor during the late Ming Dynasty established distinct school regulations tailored to the specific educational circumstances of the time. The imperial educational plan was inscribed on a stone tablet known as the Imperial Regulations Tablet. This tablet served a unique dual purpose of promoting educational standards and enforcing prohibitions. The dissemination of the Imperial Regulations Tablet across all levels of schools throughout the country established the framework for school governance during the Ming Dynasty.
