What is the name of the mountain next to the Forbidden City? The mountain next to the Forbidden City is Jingshan, which is located in the north of the Forbidden City in Beijing. It has experienced four dynasties of Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing, and has a history of more than 800 years. In the 19th year of Dading (1 179), Emperor Jin Zhangzong of Jin Dynasty built Daning Palace in Haizi, the northeast suburb of Jinzhongdu (the place name of Huichengmen, located in the south of Beijing Military Museum) for leisure and entertainment. When the Xihua Beach of Qionghua Island (now Beihai Park) was excavated, the earth mountain piled up by the excavated soil was the original Jingshan today.

Jingshan Park has a history of more than 800 years. Founded in the 19th year of Jin Dading (1 179). In the 18th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (1420), according to the theory that "black dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu and Tiansi Spirit are square", the northern part of the Forbidden City is a place of Xuanwu, and there should be mountains. As a result, the dregs of the old imperial city and the mud of the Tongzi River in the new Forbidden City piled up on the site of Yingchun Pavilion in the Yuan Dynasty, forming an earthen mountain, which was named "Long live the Mountain" at that time. In the 12th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1655), this mountain was renamed Jingshan, which was expanded on a large scale during Qianlong period. All buildings are built in accordance with the regulations of the palace, with high grade and become an important part of the palace.

After Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Beijing, Jingshan Mountain was severely damaged, and the Buddha statues and treasures in the temple were looted. After the restoration, it is for tourists to watch. Now there are Qiwanglou, Fengting, Shouhuang Hall, Xingqing Pavilion and Jixiang Pavilion in the park.

There is an ancient pagoda tree under Jingshan Guanmiao Pavilion. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1644), Li Zicheng captured Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen went out of Shenwumen to climb Jingshan, where he hanged himself, calling it "the place where Chongzhen hanged himself". The tree was later enclosed and hung with a piece of iron rope called Xin Huai. There is a monument beside the tree to record it. When Eight-Nation Alliance went to Beijing, he stole the chain. Later, this ancient tree was cut down. Now a new tree has been planted in the original site, and a signboard has been set up next to it.
