    The city of Beijing has a long and rich his-
    tory that dates back over 3,000 years. Prior to
    the uniFcation o China by the lirst Lmperor
    in 221 BC, Beijing was or centuries the capital
    of the ancient states of Ji and Yan. During the
    Frst millennia o imperial rule, Beijing was a
    proincial city in northern China.
    Its stature grew in the 10th to the 13th cen-
    turies when the nomadic Khitan and Jurchen
    peoples rom the steppes expanded southward
    and made the city a capital o their dynasties,
    the Liao and Jin. When Kublai Khan made
    Dadu the capital o the Mongol-led \uan
    Dynasty (12791368), all of China was ruled
    rom Beijing or the Frst time. lrom 129
    onward, with the exception o two interludes
    from 1368 to 1421 and 1928 to 1949, Bei-
    jing would remain as China's capital, sering
    as the seat o power or the Ming Dynasty
    ,1421-1644,, the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty
    ,1644-1912,, the early Republic o China
    ,1912-1928, and now the People's Republic
    o China ,1949-present,.
    Peking opera is a traditional orm o Chinese
    theater well known throughout the nation.
    Commonly lauded as one of the highest
    achievements of Chinese culture, Beijing
    opera is perormed through a combination
    o song, spoken dialogue, and codiFed action
    sequences involving gestures, movement,
    Fghting and acrobatics. Much o Beijing opera
    is carried out in an archaic stage dialect quite
    dierent rom Modern Standard Chinese and
    from the modern Beijing dialect.
    The cloisonn (or Jingtailan, literally Blue
    of Jingtai) metalworking technique and
    tradition is a Beijing art specialty, and is one
    of the most revered traditional crafts in
    China. Cloisonn making requires elaborate
    and complicated processes which include
    base-hammering, copper-strip inlay, soldering,
    enamel-Flling, enamel-Fring, surace polishing
    and gilding. Beijings lacquerware is also well
    known or its sophisticated and intrinsic pat-
    terns and images carved into its surface, and
    the various decoration techniques of lacquer
    include carved lacquer and engraved gold.
    History Culture Cuisine
    Nightlife
    Huaiyang cuisine has been praised since
    ancient times in China, and it was a general
    practice or an oFcial traelling to Beijing to
    take up a new post to bring along with him
    a che specialising in luaiyang cuisine. 1he
    element of traditional Beijing culinary and
    gastronomical cultures o enjoying artistic per-
    ormances such as Beijing opera while dining
    directly deeloped rom the similar practice in
    the culture of Jiangsu and Huaiyang cuisines.
    Chinese Islamic cuisine is another important
    component o Beijing cuisine, and was Frst
    prominently introduced when Beijing became
    the capital o the \uan Dynasty.
    loweer, the most signiFcant contribution
    to the formation of Beijing cuisine came
    from Shandong cuisine, as most chefs from
    Shandong came to Beijing en masse during the
    Qing Dynasty. Unlike the earlier two cuisines,
    which were brought by the ruling class such as
    nobles, aristocrats and bureaucrats, and then
    spread to the general populace, the introduc-
    tion of Shandong cuisine begun with serving
    the general populace, with much wider market
    segment, from wealthy merchants to the
    working class.
    One place that cannot be omitted when
    considering the nightlie options or the old
    Beijinger is the Tianqiao (Overbridge) Area.
    In actual fact it is not a bridge but a location
    popular or gathering to eat, drink and to enjoy
    the entertainments and amusements on offer
    there. Tianqiao has been a favorite venue for
    ordinary folk since the Yuan Dynasty (1271-
    1368). This area was also the cradle of Chinese
    folk culture and art where many original folk
    perormances such as acrobatics and music
    were devised. The area has changed some-
    what over the centuries but the quality of the
    entertainment here continues to be of a high
    standard.
    Two of the most famous venues are the Tian-
    qiao Theater and Tianqiaole Tea House and it
    can be found at No.113 in Beiwei Lu, Xuanwu
    District. 1he theatre specializes in modern
    song and dance perormances while by con-
    trast the teahouse offers the more traditional
    arts o Beijing Opera, Acrobatics, Martial Arts
    as well as folk songs. Visitors to China may be
    a little apprehensie about going to the opera
    but it is an experience not to be missed as
    the perormances are really quite spectacular,
    including as they do music, dance, acrobatics
    and spectacular costumes.
