  notes      = {This is the official history of Ming Dynasty China, written by Qing Dynasty court officials. It includes valuable information about Zheng He's travels made during the 15th century. There are apparently several commented editions available, and they are continuously reprinted. The Ming Shi documents, along with the official histories of the other dynasties, are even available on the web, but it helps if one can read Chinese Characters.},
