The most prominent example of 靖 in Chinese literature is [靖康之难](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9D%96%E5%BA%B7%E4%B9%8B%E5%8F%98) (The Disaster of Jingkang years) when two Chinese emperors were captured by the enemy.

You can just remember 靖康 /Jing kang/ (1125-1127)

Otherwise, you can search for [靖](https://pedia.cloud.edu.tw/Entry/Detail/?title=%E9%9D%96&search=%E9%9D%96):

> 靖: 平定、使安定 (put down, make stable)

* 靖乱 (put down upheaval)
* 靖难 (relieve disaster)
