Card 77 and John Wycliff

Write the history card below and read Lesson 78.  Do you think it would be easy to pray for a very long time if you were wearing shoes like this?  See what this has to do with this lesson on John Wycliffe!

                                                   The Ming Dynasty of China          77
                                                      and the Forbidden City
                                                              (1368-1644)

The Forbidden City in Beijing is the former palace home to 24 Chinese emperors and their families over a period of 500 years.  It was built during the Ming Dynasty which began when Emperor Hungwu drove the Mongols out of Beijing and gave the Chinese back their own government.  The third Ming emperor later built the ornate city within a city which includes the world's largest square,Tiananmen Square.
