The Yongle emperor (Zhu Di, 1360–1424; r. 1402–24) was the third emperor of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). He is most well-known for his sponsorship of treasure voyages to India, Arabia, and East Africa and for moving the capital from Nanjing to Beijing following his coup against the second Ming ruler, the Jianwen emperor (Zhu Yunwen, 1377– 1402; r. 1398–1402), whowas also Yongle’s nephew. Scholars are familiar with the image of Yongle from the painting Portrait of Emperor Yongle
