At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people were in poverty, and many people rebelled. As the leader of the rebel army, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, led a great army to pacify the Central Plains, destroy the Yuan Dynasty and establish the Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he did not mistreat the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty, nor did he allow anyone to belittle the Yuan Dynasty. Then Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty. Why should he respect the Yuan Dynasty when he was emperor? Personally, I think Zhu Yuanzhang respected the Yuan Dynasty to show that he did not oppose thieves, but also for the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty. In order to appease the Mongols and former ministers in China, respecting the Yuan Dynasty can reassure these people.

1. Zhu Yuanzhang respected Yuan to show the orthodoxy of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty. In order to convince the world, he must show the legitimacy of his regime. He respected the Yuan Dynasty to show that he inherited the world of the Yuan Dynasty and had a good inheritance. I founded the Ming Dynasty by myself to conform to the general trend of the world and the people's hearts, not to rebel for the sake of rebellion. I inherited the world by providence, and the Ming Dynasty was a very orthodox dynasty.

Second, Zhu Yuanzhang's respect for the Yuan Dynasty can reassure Mongolians and former ministers at home. At that time, many Mongols lived in the Central Plains, and many officials of the Yuan Dynasty surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang respected the Yuan Dynasty, which can calm their hearts, let them see their kindness, see the courtesy of the former royal family in the Ming Dynasty, and believe that Zhu Yuanzhang can govern the world well and they can live a good life in the Ming Dynasty without liquidating them. In doing so, Zhu Yuanzhang maintained his rule and made his rule more stable.

Third, in order to warn future generations not to rebel, Zhu Yuanzhang showed that he was not an anti-thief by respecting Yuan. Zhu Yuanzhang respected the Yuan Dynasty in order to show that the Yuan Dynasty lost the world because the emperor was blinded by treacherous court officials. Many people took the opportunity to rebel and lost the world. He took the world away from thieves. He admired the Yuan Dynasty in order to make people understand that those who turned against thieves would come to no good end, and that people should behave themselves, a myth of live high. He rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty in order to crack down on the bad guys, not against the Yuan Dynasty, nor against thieves.
