Original
In the 3rd century BCE, the Yellow River followed a more northerly course than the present day. It emptied into the Bohai Sea at a point south of Tianjin in what is now Hebei as opposed to its modern end in Shandong. Some time during the 7th century BCE in the late Western Zhou or early Eastern Zhou, Yan absorbed the State of Ji, a smaller kingdom to the north and moved its capital to that of Ji in modern-day Xicheng District, Beijing.

Revised
In the 3rd century BCE, the Yellow River followed a more northerly course than the present day. It emptied into the Bohai Sea at a point south of Tianjin in what is now Hebei as opposed to its modern end in Shandong. Some time during the 7th century BCE, the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Shao separated the Zhou land. Duke of Zhou regulated the eastern territories while the Duke of Shao regulated the western territories. During this time, the capitals of Yan were Ji (modern day Beijing), which was reigned by Marquis Haun (r. 698-691), and Linyi (modern day Xiongxian).
