Beijing (play /beɪˈdʒɪŋ/; Chinese: 北京; pinyin: Běijīng, [peɪ˨˩ t͡ɕiŋ˥]), formerly romanized as Peking (play /piːˈkɪŋ/ or /peɪˈkɪŋ/), is the capital of China and one of the most populous cities in the world, with a population of 19,612,368 as of 2010. Beijing is China second largest city by urban population after Shanghai and is the country political, cultural, and educational center, and home to the headquarters for most of China largest state-owned companies as its shown in the Capital of China map.
Beijing, from the Chinese characters 北 for north and 京 for capital, means literally the "Northern Capital". Beijing is one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, and it has been the political centre of China for centuries. The city is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, and huge stone walls and gates as its mentioned in the Capital of China map, and its art treasures and universities have made it a centre of culture and art in China.
In 1421 when the Yongle Emperor moved the capital of the Ming Dynasty north from Nanjing in Jiangsu Province, he renamed the city Beijing. In 1928, when the capital of the Republic of China was moved to Nanjing, the city was renamed Beiping, meaning "Northern Peace". Prior to the advent of the pinyin spelling, Beiping was romanized as Pei-p'ing using the Wade-Giles method. In 1949, when the Communist Party of China made the city the capital of the newly founded People Republic of China, the city name again reverted to Beijing (see Capital of China map).
