Description

Explore the vast history of one of the world's most significant cities with Beijing - A Concise History. Part of the Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia series, this book provides a clear timeline of the city's evolution. Author Stephen Haw traces the development of Beijing from its earliest roots before 2000 BC through to its current role as the capital of the People's Republic of China. Readers will learn about the establishment of the first cities before 1000 BC and how the area functioned as a regional capital during the long Zhou dynasty. The text also covers the major shift when the city became the capital of all China following the Mongol conquest under Genghis Khan and his successors. This volume offers a comprehensive look at how the city transitioned through different eras and eventually assumed its modern name, Beijing. It is an essential resource for anyone studying the historical development of Chinese urban centers and Asian history.
