No biography or definitive works dealing with the Hongwu emperor exist in English. However, The Cambridge History of China, vol. 7, The Ming Dynasty, 1368–1644, part I, ed. by Frederick W. Mote and Denis Twitchett (eds.), gives detailed accounts of his life and times, notably chapter 1, “The Rise of the Ming Dynasty,” and chapter 3, “The Hung-wu Reign (1368–1398).” In addition, Charles O. Hucker (ed.), Chinese Government in Ming Times: Seven Studies (1969), contains articles based on research covering the political, military, and educational aspects of the Ming.
