Features: It is said that the last feudal dynasty of China, the Qing Empire, originated from the Aisin Gioro, a Manchu ethnic group also known as the Jurchen people, who resided in the Ilan area along the Songhua River in Northeast China. During the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty, Aisin Gioro Hong Taiji proclaimed himself emperor in Shenyang in 1627 and established the state name as the Great Qing. Seventeen years later, his six-year-old son, Fu Linyu (Shunzhi), ascended the throne and moved the capital to Beijing.
