Why did the "Jurchen Nationality" change its name to "Manchu"?

I am the B side of @ History, and I will answer it.

Jurchen nationality had several different names in the history of our country.

Jurchen is also known as Zhu Lizhen, Ligustrum lucidum and Nvzhi. If we explore the original origin of Jurchen, most historians now think it is caution more than three thousand years ago. From the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, it was called Lou; From the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was called Buji; From Sui Dynasty to Tang Dynasty, it was called Blackwater. From the Liao Dynasty, it was called Jurchen. In the Liao Dynasty, in order to avoid the anonymity of Yelvzong, the official history books called it "Female Records".

It is recorded in "The Record of the North Wind Raising Sand": "The real name of Jin State is Zhu Lizhen, which belongs to a dialect. It is mistaken for Jurchen, or it is true, avoiding the real name of Qidan Xingzong and being straight." There are similar records in Daikin Guozhi and Qing Yi Mou Xia Lu. So the name Jurchen should be called by others in history. According to their mother tongue, it should be called Zhu Lizhen. Translated into Chinese, it becomes Jurchen.

Under the rule of Liao Dynasty, Nuzhen was divided into raw Nuzhen and mature Nuzhen. 1 1 15, Akuta, Jin Taizu, unified the ministries of Jurchen and established the Jin Dynasty in Huining County (Acheng, Harbin). The Jin Dynasty destroyed Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed Song, which created the "shame of Jingkang". Jin confronted the Southern Song Dynasty. After Jin occupied the Central Plains, in the first year of Zhenyuan (1 153), the capital was moved to Yanjing, and the policy of "moving south and moving north" was implemented. Jurchen first moved to Yanshan area. Later, they settled in North China, and the Han nationality gradually moved northward. Under the influence of the Han nationality and the surrounding environment, the Nuzhen who settled in the Central Plains gradually merged with the Han nationality.

After Xu Jin was destroyed by Mongols, the Jurchen nationality only temporarily withdrew from the Central Plains, but did not completely die out.

Jurchen in Ming Dynasty is divided into three parts: Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen and Donghai Jurchen. The Qing emperor Nurhachi unified the ministries of Jurchen. 16 16 years, Nurhachi was founded, with the country name "Dajin" and the history name "Houjin". 1635, Qing Taizong was renamed Manchu in Shengjing (Shenyang). 1636, Huang taiji changed the country name Daikin to Daqing. 1644, the Qing Dynasty established by Manchu entered the Central Plains, becoming the second dynasty with unified ethnic minorities in China history.

And why did Huang Taiji change his surname to Manchuria?

For this reason, historians are not unified.

Fan Wenlan, a famous historian in China, said, "Man is the first word, State is the second word, and State is the second word. Manchu language is clear with water, which means that the name of the Ming Dynasty is Zhu, but it means fire. In line with the five elements theory. "

However, Japanese scholar Yasuke Mitamura believes that Manchu is the name of Nurhachi. It is recorded in Old Archives of Manchu Dynasty.

In the sixth year of Destiny (162 1), on the ninth day of August, Nurhachi and Mongolian Taji Zaisai recorded in their vows:' I am Manchukuo, and Erzaisai is Mongolia.'

Therefore, Tammy and other Japanese scholars believe that the word "Manchuria" comes from the country name.

The third statement comes from the legend of Jurchen.

The Archives of Old Manchuria records the ancient legend that there are three heavenly daughters-Ngulun, Zhenggulun and Fogulun bathing in Lake Par. Buddha Cullen, the last goddess, got the red fruit sent by God Magpie, which fell into her mouth and throat. She was seriously pregnant and gave birth to Bukuri. Its relatives are Manchuria. "

In addition, some people think that Huang Taiji changed Nuzhen to Manchuria in order to dilute the resistance of the Central Plains people to the cruel Jin Guo and Nuzhen nationality.
