The Mongol dynasty, established in China and known as the Yuen, founded by Kubilāy Khān 1 cir. 1260, began to decline very soon after his death (1294); and in 1353a native of humble birth, named Chu Yūan Chang, succeeded in overthrowing the alien line, and, in 1368, originated the famous dynasty of Ming. The nomads’ rule was again confined to the steppes of Mongolia.
