This new issue of MingQing yanjiu, published with the support of the Department of Asian Studies of the University of Naples "L'Orientale", covers the year 2005. It contains six articles and some reviews. I wish to express my gratitude to the Department of Asian Studies for its support, and my appreciation for the serious and committed work by Dr. Donatella Guida as well as to Ms. Heddi Goodrich for her English revision. Ma Li's essay, "Mechanisms of obedience in the reign of Ming Taizu: norms and their reinforcement by state power", deals with the consensus and obedience of population as the necessary condition for political power. The article analyses obedience through normative mechanisms under the rule of Ming Taizu, founder of the Chinese Ming dynasty. He established an authoritarian regime, no less rigid than that of his precedents, the Yuan Mongol emperors, and founded his new dynasty using a complex political system and solid institutions, with the aim of total control of the population. The means the new emperor used to reach his ultimate goal -collective punishments, rites and moral rectification- show Ming Taizu's attempts to internalise obedience by integrating it into the personal norms of each individual.
