In the year 1111 before Christ, _Ou ouang_, founder of the dynasty
_Tcheou_, nominated his brother _Tchao kong_ prince of _Yen_. _Yen_ is
the ancient name of a pretty extensive country, in which Peking stands.
This prince of _Yen_ built a city there, a league and half south-west
of the city _King tching_. This city was called _Yen king_, or the
court of _Yen_. It became afterwards considerable; and the prince of
_Yen_ very powerful in the country of _Petcheli_ and _Leao tong_. In
the year 222 before Christ the emperor _Tsin chi hoang_ destroyed the
power of the princes of _Yen_, the defendants of _Tchao kong_, and
seized their dominions. The founder of the dynasty _Han_ destroyed the
power of the family of _Tsin chi hoang_. In the time of the dynasty
_Tsin_, before the Christian æra, and of the dynasty _Han_, the city
of _Yen_ was an important government, on account of the neighbourhood
of the Tartars. Some time after the dynasty _Han_ several Tartar
princes _Sien pi_ made themselves masters of the country of _Yen_.
During the dynasty of _Tang_ the city of _Yen_ was still a considerable
one. After the destruction of that dynasty the Tartars _Ki tan_[151]
made themselves masters of Tartary, and the provinces of _Chansy_,
_Petcheli_, and _Leao tong_. Their power was formidable to the Chinese.
Their court was in the city of _Yen_, which they adorned and inlarged.
These Tartars had, like the Chinese emperors, tribunals; one for the
mathematics, and another for history[152]. They had likewise some
illustrious princes, and kept some correspondence with the Caliphs.

The Tartars _Nuntche_ destroyed the power of _Leao_. Their court was
also at _Yen_; and they made it as magnificent and large a city as
Peking is now. The Mogol Tartars destroyed the empire of the _Nuntche_
or _Kin_. Their court was at first at _Yen_; but the Tartar Mogol
emperor _Koublay_ demolished that city, and built what is now called
_King tching_: at least _King tching_ is a good part of the city built
by _Koublay_, which was some _ly_ larger. The emperor’s palace was
likewise larger.
