Founded by ethnic Mongolia, the Yuan Dynasty was the first unified empire in Chinese history to be established by ethnic minorities. In 1206 Temujin established the Mongolia Khanate. In 1260, Kublai Khan ascended the throne of the Great Khan and established the Yuan "Zhongtong", in 1271, Kublai Khan took the meaning of "I Ching" "Dazai Qianyuan" and changed the name of the country to Yuan, and in 1279, he destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and unified the whole of China. The territory of the Yuan Dynasty was unprecedentedly vast, stretching from the North Sea in the north to the Sea of Japan in the east, and Tibet and Taiwan were included in the Chinese territory for the first time. The Yuan Dynasty set up Zhongshu Province in the central government, and the left and right prime ministers and peace chapters handled government affairs. The local government implements the provincial system. Its overall productivity was not as good as that of the Song Dynasty, and in the later period, due to corruption and national oppression, leading to peasant uprisings, in 1368 the Ming army captured Dadu, the Yuan Dynasty's rule in the country ended, and the remnants of the Mongolia Plateau were known as the Northern Yuan.
