The Ming Dynasty built the Forbidden City and made Beijing the capital of Ming China. It maintained a balance of power between the bureaucrats who had taken the civil servant exam and the court eunuchs.
The emperor who moved the capital to Beijing was Yongle, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He relocated the capital from Nanjing to Beijing in 1421, establishing it as the political and cultural center of China. This move was part of his broader efforts to consolidate power and strengthen the dynasty's authority. Beijing has since remained the capital of China for most of the subsequent dynasties.

The capital of the Ming dynasty was moved from Nanjing to Beijing by the Yongle Emperor, who reigned from 1402 to 1424. He initiated this change as part of his efforts to consolidate power and establish a more strategically located capital. The move also reflected the desire to strengthen the northern defenses against invasions from Mongolian tribes. Beijing was subsequently developed into a major political and cultural center.
The Chinese leader who moved the royal court to Beijing was Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty. He reigned from 1402 to 1424 and shifted the capital from Nanjing to Beijing in 1421. This decision was part of his broader efforts to strengthen the central authority of the Ming Dynasty and enhance the city's status as a political and cultural center. The move ultimately established Beijing as the capital of China for centuries to come.
Beijing was not the capital during the majority of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Instead, the Song Dynasty is divided into the Northern Song (960-1127) and Southern Song (1127-1279) periods, with its capital initially in Kaifeng. After the Jurchen invasions in the early 12th century, the Song court retreated south, establishing a new capital in Hangzhou. However, Beijing, known as Dadu during the Yuan Dynasty, became significant later as the capital of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.
Beijing became the capital of China during the Ming dynasty in 1406. The Beijing airport is the second most busiest airport in the world.
