题目材料：
During the Early and Middle Ming periods in China (1368-1522), most private maritime enterprise was outlawed as piracy by the imperial government. The result was armed conflict between private traders and government forces as well as a gap in the supply of Chinese export wares into the overseas market during the Early Ming period. It is tempting to envision the tension between the private traders and the imperial government during the Early and Middle Ming periods as a conflict between two ideologies: an entrepreneurial spirit versus an agrarian society's conservative Confucian cosmology that despised commerce and material indulgence. A careful examination of the historical events within the empires, however, reveals that this binary view would be an oversimplification, since the tension likely created factions within the Ming bureaucracy. For instance, Governor Zhu Wan's heavy-handed crackdown on Shuangyu Island (the hub of middle Ming- period international piracy)seems to have damaged the commercial interests of so many powerful players in the Ming bureaucracy that they were able to impeach him(after which he committed suicide). Archaeological evidence indicates that there was a flood of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain to the overseas market after 1488. In contrast, an account written by Cui Bo, a Korean scholar official who was shipwrecked on the coast of Ningbo, reveals no signs of a relaxation of the maritime ban at the level of coastal defense. One can conjecture that those responsible for enforcing the maritime ban probably benefited from turning a blind eye to illicit trade under their jurisdiction.
