Yes, the historical Jurchens were the precursors of the core elements of the Manchus. Manchu is an abbreviation for Manchu. As a genealogy of a nation, she is like this - Su Shen (Western Zhou to the first half of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty) - Ru Lou (such a name appeared in the Warring States period) - Beji, Jing (Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang Dynasty) - Jurchen (Five Dynasties, Ming)
After Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty succeeded to the throne, in order to form a broad united front, strengthen the unity of all ethnic groups, and create a Manchurian community, on October 13, 1635, in the ninth year of Tiancong (1635), he issued an order to change the name of the clan "Jurchen" to "Manchuria", and from then on, the name of the Manchu (referred to as Manchu) officially appeared in the annals of Chinese and world history.
This major policy became famous for bringing together the Jianzhou Jurchens, Haixi Jurchens, Donghai Jurchens, Han, Mongolians, Koreans, Hurkhas, Sorens and other ethnic groups living in northeast China under the same ethnic name, and the Manchus were formed. At the same time, there are also some descendants of the Liao Dynasty Jurchens who were not incorporated into the Eight Banners and became the current Hezhe, Evenk, Orunchun, etc., but they are close relatives of today's Manchus. At the beginning, a considerable number of Liaodong Han and Mongols, a small number of Koreans, and even some Russians were incorporated into the Eight Banners, and in the process of long-term integration within the Eight Banners, they had completely integrated into the Manchus. For example, the Cao Xueqin family, originally from the Han Dynasty, but later incorporated into Manchuria, so, looking at their family's resume, they are all to indicate "Manchuria", and their entire family tree is compiled into the "Eight Flags Manchurian Clan Genealogy" This is a kind of broad mind, although. There are the most "pure" components of the community of blood, namely the Jurchens of Jianzhou known as "Buddha Manchuria" (Old Manchuria), and others as "Icher Manchuria" (New Manchuria), but the status is basically equal. "Revolution" is in no particular order, and everyone is a brother. Huang Taiji's move reflects a broad mind and lofty ideals. The manchurians' final success was due to this great historic revolution. People everywhere who were desperate for the Ming Dynasty, including a large number of Han compatriots in Guannei, also threw themselves into the banner of the Qing Dynasty. A "General Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners" contains a total of 1114 surnames, and each surname must be preceded by the words "So-and-so year returned", which shows the grand situation of the world returning to the heart at that time.
As a famous surname of Jurchen, she has always been there, in the Jin Dynasty she was a royal family, and in the Qing Dynasty this family still has a brilliant performance. In the "Clan Chronicle" of the Eight Banners Tongzhi compiled by Qianlong in 51 years, the Yan clan ranked first. The annotation next to it reads: "Complete Yan is the surname of the Great Golden Kingdom, I was born with the Mandate of Heaven, the Jinyuan Ethnic Group, and the Old Genealogy of the Eight Banners of Jiuli, originally listed in the twenty-eighth volume." Nowadays, it follows the sacred precepts and imitates the compilation of the Tongjian, which is still compiled at the head of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. This was the book that Qianlong was ordered to compile, and he also specially ordered that the Completed Yan Clan in the twenty-eight volumes of the Eight Banners of Manchurian Clan Genealogy compiled by Yongzheng thirteen years be taken out and rearranged and included in the beginning of the volume. This book records that at this time, there were 38 branches of the Guanyan clan. Among them, Ye Chen, Bor jin and others who set up red flags were also made barons. In addition, there are ministers who have completed Yan Hong'a, Shengjing general Chongshi, and Chonghou who are celebrities of the family. In the Qing Dynasty, there should be nearly 200 people who became senior officials of the Yan clan. The main reason why the famous people do not fade is that they love to learn their genes.
After the Xinhai Revolution, the Yan clan was generally changed to the Wang clan with the Han surname. I have several Manchu royal friends from the famous Wanyan clan.
