Later Jin (Manchu: ᠠᡳᠰᡳᠨ
ᡤᡠᡵᡠᠨ; Möllendorff: Aisin Gurun; Abkai: Aisin Gurun; or Manchu: ᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠ
ᡤᡠᡵᡠᠨ; Möllendorff: Manju Gurun; Abkai: Manju Gurun; 1616--1636) was a dynasty established by the khan of Jurchen, Nurhaci, in Manchuria, and was the predecessor of the Qing dynasty. In 1616, Nurhaci claimed himself the khan and used the state name of the former Jin dynasty, which is named by historians as the "Later Jin" (Chinese:後金). The son of Nurhaci, Hong Taiji, changed the state name into the Great Qing (Manchu:ᡩᠠᡳᠴᡳᠩ
ᡤᡠᡵᡠᠨ, tr. Daicing Gurun; Chinese:大清). The Later Jin lasted 21 years and was ruled by two monarchs.
