Religion

     The Ming Dynasty believes in Christianity, the belief based on the teachings and miracles of Jesus. One of the practices in the Ming Dynasty of Christianity is when they created the Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven was built in 1420 A.D. during the Ming Dynasty to offer sacrifice to Heaven.This belief was important to the Ming Dynasty because it gave people in the Ming Dynasty something to look forward to, and have to behave to get into Heaven when they are deceased. The Ming Dynasty also believes in Confucianism. Confucianism is the belief based on respect particularly people must respect their elders, or people above them.. Confucianism is demonstrated in the Ming Dynasty by the five basic relationships: ruler and subject, husband and wife, father and son, older sibling and younger sibling, and friend and friend. The Ming Dynasty believes in Christianity and Confucianism which has kept their people in line.
