Abstract The capital planning cloud be a political diagram in the pre-industrial countries of North-east Asia. In order to take a role as the capital, a planning was required to represent a higher level of symbolism than the other cities. Because of all that, Zhouli·Kaogongji could embodied. And this is the general assessment of the Zhouli·Kaogongji. But in reality, North-east Asian capital planning has not appeared as same urban planning as the Zhouli·Kaogongji's. Thus a historical fact, the simple formula, can not fully describe neither the City planing of East-Asia, nor Zhouli·Kaogongji. We need to understand the Zhouli·Kaogongji as the text not the image, because the contexts of the urban planning in Zhouli·Kaogongji have been described simply. City planning has changed, depending on how the interpretation the Zhouli·Kaogongji. It can be described , and depending on the interpretation, the city could be classified a kind of regular form and irregular form. All Capitals from the history of East-asia, should be understood in a way of similarity to Zhouli·Kaogongji, not the differences. The important thing is the cultural backgrounds of the planners were effected very importantly. The Capital planning could consider as the result, that is complexed with the site analysis, the ideal images of the city and Zhouli·Kaogongji.
