The Yongle Emperor was a Chinese traditionalist. He promoted Confucianism, retained traditional ritual ceremonies, and respected the classical culture. Although he did not personally favour Taoism and Buddhism, his policy of tolerance was popular and helped maintain unity. The Yongle Emperor sought to eradicate Mongol culture from China; the use of popular Mongol names, habits, language, and clothing were forbidden.
