Speaking of the history of Beijing as the capital, many people may first think of the Ming emperor Judy, who seized power through a mutiny in the battle of Jingnan and then moved the capital of the Ming Dynasty from Nanjing to Peiping.

But in fact, before Judy, Beijing had already begun to take shape, and Judy's original Yanwangfu was actually transformed from the inner palace of the Yuan Dynasty.

Before Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing had become the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and an international metropolis. Kyle polo came to China, once praised yuan magnanimous:

There are not only tycoons from the north and south of China, but also businessmen from distant Central Asia and South Asia who do business in the metropolis. All the rarest and most precious things in the world can be found in this city, especially Indian goods, such as gems, pearls, herbs and spices ... According to the registration, more than 1000 trucks and saddles transport raw silk to Beijing every day. "

The whole city is planned in a straight line. Generally speaking, all the streets go straight to the root of the city. If a person stands on the gate and looks straight ahead, he can see the gate of the opposite city wall. On both sides of the city's public streets, there are all kinds of shops and stalls ... the whole city is arranged in a square, like a chessboard. "
