Abstract

During the period of the Min Dynasty, more than 1,300 walled cities other than the capital cities of Nanjing and Beijing were spread all over China. The City of the Prince, which was the epitome of the political aspect of the Min Dynasty, is a very significant subject to be studied closely. The City of the Prince was the emperors' territory. The emperors had divided their territories and given them to their own sons. Their sons built the walled capitals there.<br>The Cities of the Prince had been governed by two systems; one was a centralized bureaucracy which was controlled by local bureaucrats sent by the central government, and the other was a feudalistic political system controlled by the princes, whom the emperors had given titles to.<br>This study compares a close examination over each internal structure of the 39 Cities of the Prince is to be attempted by using diagrams of restored buildings with an analytical viewpoint of the relationship between the former urban shape and military function of the Cities of the Prince.
