It is notable that the Jin dynasty (jin means gold in Chinese) of the Jurchens, ancestors of the Manchus, was known as aisin gurun, and that the Qing dynasty was initially named amaga aisin gurun, or Later Jin dynasty. It has been suggested that Nurhaci, the founder of the Later Jin dynasty, added aisin to his original family name of gioro, perhaps at the same time he proclaimed his new dynasty in 1616, but there is no definitive evidence to support this proposition. Since the fall of the Empire, a number of members of the family have changed their surnames to Jin (金) after the former dynasty. For example, Puyi's younger brother changed his name from Aixinjueluo Puren (愛新覺羅溥任) to Jin Youzhi (金友之) and his children in turn are surnamed Jin.

1 Foundation myth

The Veritable Records and other documents contain the foundation myth of the Aisin Gioro clan:

There was a lake called Bulhuri at the foot of Bukuri Mountain, located to the east of the Changbai Mountains. When three angels bathed in that lake, a magpiePica Urocissa Cyanopica Cissa The magpies are medium to large, often colorful and noisy passerine birds in the crow family, Corvidae. They are closely allied to the jays and treepies. The names 'jay', 'treepie' and 'magpie' are to a certain extent interch left a fruit on the youngest angel Fekulen's clothes. She ate the fuit and became pregnant. She mothered Bukuri Yongšon, the founder of Aisin gioro. He was later welcomed by the people as the Beile . He settled at Odoli CastleThis article describes the fortified buildings. Castle" is also an alternative name for the Rook and the move of castling in chess. The Castle (from the Latin castellum diminutive of castra a military camp, in turn the plural of castrum or watchpost), is on the Omohoi Plain and became the founder of the Manchu State.

This myth has interested many historians. Similar stories can be found in other northern people's mythology.

It is the sourcebook of Manwen Laodang and a primary source of early Manchu history. It is often called yuandang ( original archives). It covers official (old Manchu archives), which was omitted from later documents, says that a man from the Hurha tribe on the Upper Amur River told the exactly same myth. In fact, Kangxi period maps shows Bukuri Mountain and Bulhuri Lake near Heilongjiang. It is considered that the Manchu imperial family incorporated Hurha's legend into their own foundation myth.

Although the Changbai Mountains (golmin šanggiyan alin in Manchu) are regarded as the birthplace of the Aisin Gioro clan, their relationship with this legend is questionable. As explained above, the mythical arena was near Heilongjiang, not the Changbai Mountains. In addition, a careful analysis on early Manchu records proved that the description of the Changbai Mountains at the beginning of this legend had been inserted for the first time in the Shunzhi-era version of the Veritable Records for Nurhaci.
