Hijan

Hijan was a small Hūrga Jurchen polity centred on Boli, near the junction of the Amur and Ussuri. Under the Liao, Boli was called Puwali and served as a Five Nations station governing the lower Amur.

In the fifteenth century the Ming established the Bahulu Guard under the Nurgan commission, appointing local Tungusic chiefs as hereditary tributary officers. In 1643 a Bohori settlement was founded at Boli, which later came under the Qing Sanxing deputy lieutenant-general.
