The Yuan Dynasty was the first unified dynasty established by ethnic minorities in Chinese history, with its capital being Dadu (today's Beijing). Genghis Khan unified Mobei and established the Mongolian Empire, and successively attacked and destroyed Western Liao, Western Xia, Khwarezm, Eastern Xia, Jin and other countries; his descendants fought everywhere to expand their territories, but they inevitably fought for power and profit. After Kublai Khan ascended the throne, he changed the country's name to "Dayuan", eliminated the Southern Song Dynasty, and completed the unification of China. Different cultures collided in the Yuan Dynasty, leaving countless precious treasures to future generations. Yuan opera and Yuan blue and white flowers also bloomed with their own colors.
