The poem's full title,\"Kubla Khan: Or, a Vision in a Dream. A Fragment,\" refers to the fact that Coleridge wrote the poem after waking from a dream he had under the influence of opiates.  \nd In Context  \nKubla Khan and Xanadu  \nKubla Khan (1215–94; spelled Kublai in modern usage) was a powerful Mongolian king who became emperor of China in 1260. He was part of the Yuan dynasty, which was established in 1206 in what is now Mongolia in north-central Asia. After conquering northern and southern China, the Yuan dynasty controlled both Mongolia and China from 1271 to 1368.  \nKubla Khan was the grandson of Genghis Khan (c. 1162–1227), a famed Mongolian warrior and ruler who conquered much of Asia during the 13th century. He was the fifth emperor of the Yuan dynasty and arguably his grandfather's greatest successor—he was the first to rule all of China. The capital of Kubla Khan's kingdom was called Dadu, located in present-day Beijing, but he also established a northern capital in Shangdu, or Xanadu, in Mongolia. The Venetian explorer Marco Polo (c. 1254–1324) visited Kubla Khan's palace there in 1265.  \nBecause of Polo's descriptions of the palace's opulence, the name Xanadu became synonymous with abundant displays of wealth. Polo described a palace built of fine marble, covered in gilt, and \"painted with figures of men and beasts and birds ... all executed with such exquisite art that you regard them with  \ndelight and astonishment.\" The English writer Samuel Purchas (c. 1577–1626) also wrote about Xanadu in a 17th-century travel encyclopedia Coleridge had read, inspiring him to write the poem. Purchas describes Xanadu as a palace with \"a stately garden ... ten miles of fertile ground were [e]nclosed with awall.\" Coleridge makes a reference in the poem to Kubla Khan hearing \"ancestral voices prophesying war.\" This may allude to the opposition Kubla Khan faced from his younger brother, Arigböge, who claimed the kingship while his brother was fighting a battle. A civil war followed, and Kubla Khan eventually defeated his brother with a military victory.  \nMythology  \nAlthough Xanadu was a real palace from which Kubla Khan ruled, there are also mythical references throughout the poem that lend it a dreamlike, imaginary quality.
