The Manchus began construction of a walled city next to the former Dzungar city of Ürümqi in 1763 which was completed in 1767. The Qianlong Emperor named the new settlement Dihua (Tihwa), meaning 'to enlighten [the uncivilized people].' In 1884, the Guangxu Emperor established Xinjiang as a province, with Dihua as its capital, although the pre-Qing dynasty name of Ürümqi continued to be used by the Turkic population. In 1954, following the founding of the People's Republic of China, the city's name was officially changed back to Ürümqi, meaning 'beautiful pasture' in the Oirat language of the Dzungar people.
