Question

3. Where?

Where did Kublai Khan build palaces?
Where did Kublai Khan move the
capital of his empire?

Answer 1

Kublai Khan built palaces in Beijing, which he made the capital of his empire, and established the area known as the Forbidden Palace.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kublai Khan, the Mongol ruler and founder of the Yuan dynasty which lasted from 1271 to 1368, moved his capital to Beijing. There, he built palaces and a designated area known as the Forbidden Palace, which was reserved for the emperor and his court. This move to Beijing represented the Mongol adaptation to a settled lifestyle, even as they maintained many of their traditional practices. Kublai Khan's reign was marked by significant challenges such as keeping the vast Mongol Empire unified and managing the unrest from his Chinese subjects.

Answer 2

Actually, in 1271 Kublai Khan named his dynasty Yuan which means "origin of the universe." The Yuan dynasty in China lasted from 1279 to 1368. Kublai Khan followed a tentative policy of Sinicization, that is, he adapted to the Chinese way of governing and when you look at his portrait, he looks very much like other Chinese rulers. On the other hand, although he used some Chinese in low positions in the government, he abolished the civil service exams, preferred to use Chinese in his bureaucracy and established separate rules for the Mongols and for the Chinese. His capital, present-day Beijing, became a cosmopolitan and wealthy city.
