北京是中国的首都，也被称作"京"。它的英文名为Beijing。
Peking, not Beijing.
Pe comes from the ancient Latin pronunciation of "北", which was used in the Old Han Chinese (or later modern Mandarin) script. In Ming and Qing Dynasty foreign传教士们所编写的汉字字典和汉语书中, the pronunciation of "北" generally uses Latin letters and is pronounced as "pe" and includes an acute accent symbol like "pɛ". For example, the system "利金" is pě. The pronunciation of this system is similar to current Mandarin pronunciation bei and sounds short, like the current pronunciation of be.In the Old Han Chinese script, Peking reads [kìng]. This is because P在北京, as in modern Mandarin, this character has been省略了 the acute accent symbol.京在 Ming and Qing dynasty Han Chinese script read [kīng]. This is because this character's acute accent symbol has also been omitted.
