[edit] Shuntian

"After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty in 1368, the city was later rebuilt by the Ming Dynasty and renamed Shuntian (順天)." At this time, Beijing was called Beiping and the Shuntian Fu was the name of the city's administration. And even when Beiping was changed back to Beijing again, it was still under the administration of Shuntian Fu. A not so good anolog is the relationship between DC and washington.

[edit] Mongol raid of 1550?

The Discovery Channel had a program about a Mongol raid which devastated Beijing in 1550 -- but I can find no mention of this serious event. So is this simply another hole in Wikipedia's coverage -- or did this never happen? -- llywrch (talk) 05:29, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
