The School of Mind was developed by Lu Jiuyuan, Zhu Xi's main rival, but was soon forgotten.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a penniless peasant and Buddhist monk who joined the Red Turbans in 1352, but soon gained a reputation after marrying the foster daughter of a rebel commander.

The most powerful of Hongwu's sons, Zhu Di, then the militarily mighty disagreed with this, and soon a political showdown erupted between him and his nephew Jianwen.

Zhu Di was soon surrounded by Jianwen's generals, and cautiously reacted to the political gridlock in which he found himself.

In the third month of 184, soon after the rebellion had broken out, the rebel leader Zhang Mancheng defeated and killed the Grand Administrator of Nanyang, and in the fourth month, at the beginning of summer, the imperial army under Zhu Jun was defeated by Bo Cai in Yingchuan, while the Grand Administrator of Runan was defeated by another force of rebels.

The death of Mao, Zhou and Zhu in 1976, and soon afterwards the coup that resulted in the arrest of the Gang of Four, ushered in the era now identified as the " second generation " of leaders.

Zhu Gaoxu surrendered soon afterward.

However, as soon as Qi Xing arrived in Zangke ( 牂柯 ), he was killed by the Administrator Zhu Bao, who had also rebelled.

In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang, soon after declaring himself the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, sent an army toward Dadu, still held by the Yuan.

It soon became apparent to the Burmese that Zhu Youlang intended to carve himself a kingdom in Burma, and war broke out between the exiled prince and his hosts.

Wang was liked by everyone in the gang and soon supplanted the gang's leader, Zhu Kongyang ( 朱孔陽 ).

In fact, the first known source to describe stories of its legendary use during the Zhou period was the Gu Jin Zhu book of Cui Bao ( c. 300 CE ), written soon after the Three Kingdoms era.

When Wang arrived at the circuit, Zhu Xicai paid him great respect but did not allow him to take actual rein of the circuit, and Wang returned to Chang ' an soon thereafter.

Mi Fang's brother Mi Zhu was deeply ashamed of his brother's betrayal and soon died of sickness.

Indeed, soon thereafter, after the campaign ended ( when the imperial government capitulated to Zhu and Wang by making them military governors ), Yuan was made a chancellor with the title Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi ( 同中書門下平章事 ).

One day, Zhu receives a letter from her father, asking her to return home as soon as possible.

Zhu Ci soon declared himself emperor of a new state of Qin.

Wang and Li Baozhen soon arrived and defeated Zhu Tao, forcing him to flee back to Lulong.

Zhu Quanzhong soon had the opportunity to test the mettle of his new army.

Zhu Zhen and Li Tangbin soon began to quarrel and in August 889, while the army was encamped at Xiao County for further campaigns against Shi Pu, Zhu Zhen found an excuse to have Li Tangbin killed.

The emperor's role became more autocratic, although Zhu Yuanzhang necessarily continued to use what he called the " Grand Secretaries " ( 内阁 ) to assist with the immense paperwork of the bureaucracy, including memorials ( petitions and recommendations to the throne ), imperial edicts in reply, reports of various kinds, and tax records.

The School of Principle gained supremacy during the Song Dynasty with the philosophical system elaborated by Zhu Xi, which became mainstream and officially adopted by the government for the Imperial examinations under the Yuan Dynasty.

In his life, Zhu Xi was largely ignored, but not long after his death his ideas became the new orthodox view of what Confucian texts actually meant.

Since Jiang Zemin became the national party chief in June 1989, all but one former Shanghai party chief was elevated to the Politburo Standing Committee, the de facto highest decision-making body in China, including Jiang Zemin ( General secretary and President ), Zhu Rongji ( Premier ), Wu Bangguo ( Chairman of the National People's Congress ), Huang Ju ( Vice Premier ), and Xi Jinping ( Vice President ).

Once Zhu Di deposed Jianwen and became crowned as Yongle Emperor ( r. 1403-1424 ), Zheng He continued serving in his court as a Eunuch Grand Director ( 太監, tàijiàn ).

Nevertheless, Hu later became a collective term for non-Chinese ethnic groups, often preceded by Chinese numerals and characters such as Wu ( five ) or Zhu ( numerous ).

By the year 1241, under the sponsorship of Emperor Lizong, Zhu Xi's Four Books and his commentary on them became standard requirements of study for students attempting to pass the civil service examinations.

When his son Zhu Di became the Yongle Emperor, he moved the capital back to Beijing, and construction began in 1406 of what would become the Forbidden City.

Its Founding Dean, Professor Zhu Rongji, later became the fifth Premier of the People ’ s Republic of China.

Zhu Di quickly became the biggest threat to the imperial court.

Jiang did not specialize in economics, and in 1997 handed a most of the economic governance of the country to Zhu Rongji, who became Premier, and remained in office through the Asian financial crisis.

After having served in the 8th Route Army during 12 years under General Zhu De's command, he became propaganda chief for the county Party committee in 1947.

In 1991, Zhu became the vice-premier of the State Council, transferring to Beijing from Shanghai.

With these achievements, Zhu, acknowledged as an able economic administrator, became premier of the State Council.

In the middle of the 14th century, with famine, plagues and peasant revolts sweeping across China, Zhu became a leader of an army that conquered China, ending the Yuan Dynasty and forcing the Mongols to retreat to the Mongolian steppes.

Destitute, Zhu Yuanzhang accepted a suggestion to take up a pledge made by his late father, and became a novice monk at the Huangjue Temple, a local Buddhist monastery.

Zhu rose rapidly through the ranks and became a commander.

In 1356, Zhu Yuanzhang's army conquered Nanjing, which became his base of operations and the official capital of the Ming Dynasty during his reign.

Zhu became the leader of a smaller faction ( called " Ming " around 1360 ) while the larger faction, under Chen Youliang, controlled the center of the Yangtze River valley.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in 1955 Zhu became one of the Ten Marshals of the People's Liberation Army, of which he is regarded as the founder.

When Cai became governor of Sichuan after Yuan's death in June 1916, Zhu was made a brigade commander.

During this time Mao and Zhu became so closely connected that to the local peasant farmers they were known collectively as " Zhu Mao " ( homophonic to 猪毛, or pig's pelage ).

When Zhu became Premier after his transfer to the Central Government in Beijing, Huang became mayor of Shanghai in 1991 and then city's Party chief in 1994, which he served until October 2002.
