The encyclopedia, one of the major inventions of the Ming Dynasty, was an influential aspect of daily life and education. The encyclopedia is a book or set of books giving information on many subjects or on many aspects of one subject and typically arranged alphabetically. One way the encyclopedia changed life in China during the Ming Dynasty was by spreading cultural and political influences while giving out these books to increase the knowledge of China and where everything was located. During previous times, the encyclopedia was written to teach others about China's location, it's use, it's trade and it's religion. The civil service system was improved during the Ming Dynasty and then became classified; almost all the top Ming officials entered the bureaucracy. They had to pass a government examination.

The encyclopedia had also changed the way people traveled in China and what they believed was happening throughout China. People could use the encyclopedia to direct themselves to certain landmarks or palaces. Also reading the encyclopedia improved learning on Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity and a few other religions.
