Abdari

Abdari denotes a Jurchen clan polity of the lower Tumen River valley, with its seat at Kahari in present-day Yanbian. In 1337 these Tungusic villagers and hunters acknowledged the Yuan as overlords. From 1405 the Ming enrolled Tumen-basin chieftains in guards such as the Maolian Guard, and the local clans were later drawn into the Jianzhou Jurchen consolidation.
