Jiangxi has a long history, since ancient times, it has the reputation of "Wuhua Tianbao, Brilliant Spirit", which has bred a long history and culture and brilliant humanistic treasures, and has an important position and profound influence in the history of the development of Chinese civilization. Especially during the Song and Ming dynasties, Jiangxi culture developed to its heyday and became the crystallization and representative of Chinese national culture.
In 1368, The Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, imitating the ancestors to implement the feudal system, and divided the princes into various places as kings, that is, the king of the domain. The Ming Dynasty had three major lineages of feudal kings in present-day Jiangxi Province, namely the Ningwang clan in the Nanchang region, the Huai wang clan in the Poyang region, and the Yiwang clan in the Nancheng region, with a total of 19th and 23 kings.
