The picture is of a man and a giraffe. what achievement by the ming dynasty does this picture represent? the giraffe towering over the man represented the emperor’s authoritarian rule. the man leading the giraffe represents the emperor leading the huge territory of china. the giraffe, brought back from africa, represents the emperor’s trade with the outside world. the man pulling on the leash represents the emperor’s demand that foreigners kowtow to him.

The right answer is the third one: The giraffe, brought back from Africa, represents the emperor’s trade with the outside world. During the reign of Yongle (1402-1424), the third Ming emperor, China briefly but intensely explored other parts of the world, such as South Africa and India. His emissaries brought back with them all sorts of treasures, such as a giraffe, which he kept, together with other exotic animals, in his palace. Yongle had a special interest in the giraffe, and he asked a court artist to paint it.
