Jelv Chucai was a great politician in the Mongolian yuan period. He won the trust and reliance of the great khan of Mongolia by his extraordinary abilities. As an outstanding representative of the scholars of the central plains,he entered the center stage of world power in the 13 th century. He thought of himself as a "master of the world"and drew up a blueprint with a view to the overall situation. He put forward ten aspects of governing the country,including people’s livelihood,economy,politics and law,and tried to carry them out. It reflected the practical exploration of governing the world empire by using Chinese culture. Due to the limitation of historical conditions,the governance of chu CAI suffered a great setback,but he took the governance effect,not only at that time,especially in later generations,for the Mongolian yuan dynasty finally recognized the legitimacy of the Chinese played a fundamental role.
