content: Jing Bao, or The Peking Gazette, was an official bulletin published during the Qing dynasty in late imperial China. From around 1730, the publication was in Chinese called Jing Bao, literally "the Capital Report." It contained information on court appointments, edicts, and the official memorials submitted to the emperor, and the decisions made or deferred.
