During the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368), Kublai Khan moved his capital to present day Beijing; however, at the time it was not known as Beijing. Kublai Khan wanted to establish his capital at the location of the former Jin Dynasty (1115-1234) capital, Zhongdu ("central capital"), but the Mongols had burned down Zhongdu in 1215. So, Kublai Khan organized the reconstruction of the old city-which he named Dadu ("great capital")-in 1264. The construction of the some of the buildings was not complete until 1293, but Dadu was established as the capital of the Yuan Dynasty in 1267. Dadu remained the capital of the Yuan Dynasty for its duration. In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang, a Chinese rebel leader, declared himself emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and invaded Dadu, razing it to the ground and driving the Mongols out of China. The city was not known as Beijing until 1421 when the emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty rebuilt the ruined city of Dadu and established his capital there.
