Social Culture Review and Inheritance of Jinzhongdu District in Beijing

Abstract

Beijing used to be called “Ji, Nanjing, Yanjing” and so on. The first time it became capital was when Wanyanliang moved the capital of Jin Dynasty from Acheng, Heilongjiang to Yanjing in 1153. The purpose of this paper is to promote the excavation and inheritance of Beijing's ancient capital resources and prosper the capital culture. Firstly, the paper verified the Jinzhongdu’s location, compared it with the location of Liaoning Nanjing, Yuandadu, and Beijing City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and explored the location principles of Jinzhongdu. Secondly, starting from the period of Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty, the paper reviewed the cultural and economic development of the area where Jinzhongdu is located, and explored the background of the formation of Jinzhongdu culture. Again, the paper illustrated the important social thoughts of Jinzhongdu and their influences on later generations.
