*''Reign: [[1465]]-[[1488]]''
*''Chinese'': 成化帝 ''(Chénghuàdì)''
The Chenghua Emperor was the ninth emperor of China's [[Ming Dynasty]]. His reign saw a revival of Ming military strength, following the [[Mongol]] capture of the Ming emperor [[Zhengtong Emperor|Zhengtong]] a few decades earlier; the [[Great Wall]] was strengthened and extended by an additional six hundred miles during the Chenghua reign, and much of what survives of the Wall today dates back to this construction effort.
