Before beijing..the capital of china was peiking.
Though they are the two names of the same city, Peiking is outdated and beijing is new in use.
Prior to 1958, the Chinese government used the Wade-Giles system to transliterate Chinese characters into the Roman alphabet. After 1958 the government switched, and the rest of the world followed, to the pinyin system of transliteration so now we call the capital city Beijing (pinyin) instead of Peking (Wade-Giles).
