Jurchen people 女真
(重定向自Jurchens)




The Jurchens or Jurcheds (Jurchen language: jušen) were a Tungusic people who inhabited the region of Manchuria until the 17th century, at which point they began referring to themselves as the Manchu people.
The Jurchen established the Jin dynasty (1115–1234) (Ancun gurun in the older Jurchen language and Aisin gurun in standard Manchu), a state that conquered the Song dynasty in 1127 during the Jin–Song Wars, gaining control of most of North China.
