The Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty established by Mongols. It has existed for 97 years and is one of the more powerful dynasties in Chinese history. However, due to the discrimination against the Han people in the Yuan Dynasty, he died prematurely, which became a lesson for the rulers of the Qing Dynasty in the future.
In addition, the rule of Yuan Dynasty set a general scope for China's painting in the future. From the end of Yuan Dynasty to the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the territory of China did not change much, and the Mongols became a member of the China family.
1206 (in the sixth year of Jintaihe), Mongolian aristocrats worshipped Temujin as a great Khan at the source of Wannan River, honoring him as Genghis Khan, and the Mongolian khanate (Great Mongolia) was established.
After the death of the Mongolian Khan in 1259, the Mongolian khanate was divided into khanate (late Yuan Dynasty) and four khanates (Qincha khanate, Wokuotai khanate, Yili khanate and Chahetai khanate). The four khanates were nominally subordinate to the suzerainty of the Mongolian khanate (the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty), but in fact they were independent.

Yanjing, the capital of 1272, was called the metropolis (now Beijing), and the ruling center of the Yuan Dynasty was completely transferred to the Central Plains.
