The origin of the Manchu

The Manchus, originating from the northeastern region of China, trace their roots back to the Jurchen tribes of the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234). Over centuries, they evolved, adopting the name "Manchu" in the early 17th century. Under the leadership of Nurhaci and his successors, the Manchus unified the Jurchen tribes, formed the Eight Banners military system, and eventually founded the Qing Dynasty in 1644, which ruled China until 1912. This remarkable transformation from tribal confederation to imperial rulers marks the Manchus as a pivotal force in Chinese history.#manch#manchu cultrue #manchurian #满族
