Beijing has been a capital city in China for over 850 years, starting from the Jin Dynasty. It became the capital due to its strategic location and ability to unite the diverse ethnic groups in the country. Throughout history, Beijing has served as the capital for the Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, showing its importance in keeping the nation stable and united. Other cities like Nanjing and Shenyang were not suitable for this role, but Beijing stood out as the best choice for the capital of China.
