Yongle was a usurper took the throne from his nephew, who ruled as emperor. He was the Prince of Yan. Yan was the ancient name of the Beijing area. It had been the Yan State from the 11th century BC to 222 BC and it capital. Its capital was Ji, which then became Yanjing (modern Beijing). Therefore, Yongle moved the capital to his power base. Another reason for moving the capital was fear of a resurgent Mongol threat who wanted to reconquer the rich lands south of the Great Wall. He was one of the Chinese rulers who was most active in building the Great Wall.
