Abstract：In the early Ming Dynasty, ZHU Yuan-zhang took measures of reforming the old customs to educate people: changing the apparel system of Yuan Dynasty and restoring the apparel system of Tang Dynasty, starting with living materials to control arrogation abuse and breach of rules; regulating appellations to put an end to breach of manners and arrogation behaviors; regulating marriage customs to do away with the marriage customs of Yuan Dynasty; publicizing ritual systems to ensure social stability; establishing grass-root civilizing system to ensure the observation of the rituals and customs; civilizing people with rituals and customs as a precaution, guiding people to be good and creating a social atmosphere of encouragement and self-control; making efforts to educate people to change the outdated customs; setting up schools to educate people and cultivate talents; advocating Confucianism to educate the public. ZHU Yuan-zhang took the social control strategy with the combination of rites and rules, and the stick and carrot policy, creating the cultural atmosphere of doing good and eradicating evils to shun evil and praise what is good, encourage people to know their place and behave properly, and safeguard the sound operation of grassroots society. He also built “the cultural network of power” with regulations and education to make connection between “big tradition” and “small tradition”, and make sure the imperial power could infiltrate and extend to grassroots society. ZHU Yuan-zhang’s strategy of implementing the practice of ritual system with regulations enabled rituals and customs permeate to civil society in the early Ming Dynasty.
