Why is jurchen called jurchen?
Jurchen is an ancient ethnic group living in Northeast Asia in ancient China (originally living in Songhua River and Heilongjiang Valley, Siberia and the Far East). Its language belongs to Altai language family, Manchu-Tungusic language family and ancient Manchu branch, namely Nanzhi.

Many traditional historians in China believe that Nuzhen originated from "Caution" in the history books of China more than 3,000 years ago. In the 2nd and 4th centuries, it was called "Kulou", in the 5th century it was called "Buji", and in the 6th and 7th centuries it was called "Blackwater". In the 9th century, it was renamed as Jurchen.

Jurchen is the name of Qidan people in the Five Dynasties. It was once called the black water cymbal, but later a jurchen replaced the cymbal, and the Liao Dynasty rewritten it as a straight woman because it was taboo. In the initial stage of Jurchen history, it is in the stage of single or small-scale combination. With the development of production and intermarriage between clans, they have formed common values and cultural exchanges have become increasingly active.

While the closed state was gradually broken, new tribal alliance organizations gradually replaced clan organizations. In this way, within the alliance, people's production, life, customs and mentality are gradually consistent, thus forming a tribal alliance culture.

In the jurchen society where production technology is very backward, young adults have a special position. Because only with good physical quality can they cope with such a life as hunting war, which made them form the custom of "being strong and having a good old age" a long time ago, showing the martial characteristics of Jurchen's ancestral culture.

Liao Dynasty is also called "female straight" (to avoid the taboo of Emperor Yeluzong of Liao Dynasty), and it also distinguishes that people in southern Liaoning are mature women according to the degree of civilization, while those who don't belong to the family in northern Liaoning are born women. During the Jin Dynasty, it was called "Jurchen". Because the word Jurchen comes from the ancient Jurchen language (jusen or julcen), it is also a transliteration of Chinese characters in Ming Dynasty: Zhu Shen, Zhu Lizhen, etc.

By the beginning of the17th century, the Nuzhen Manchuria Department of Jianzhou had gradually become stronger (more powerful than this), and its leader Nurhachi established the post-Jin regime. By the time of his son Huang Taiji, all the Nuzhen Departments had been basically unified. 1635 lunar calendar 10 year 10 month 13 Qing Taizong issued a decree to change the name of the Jurchen nationality to Manchuria, and the word Jurchen ceased to be used. Later, Manchu absorbed Mongolia, Han nationality, Korea and other nationalities, and gradually formed today's Manchu.
