Shilimian

Shilimian lay near present Hulin on the Ussuri, in a region long inhabited by Tungusic fishing and hunting peoples ancestral to the Hezhen.

In the early fifteenth century the Ming established Shilimian Guard under the Nurgan commission, alongside the Yima River Guard. Its Hūrga chiefs inherited their posts and traded furs while governing river villages. During Nurhaci's campaigns against the Wild Jurchens in 1596–1625, Shilimian was absorbed by Later Jin; its people were later enrolled in the Manchu banners.
