Wanggiya

Wanggiya was one of the five Jianzhou Jurchen tribes north of the Yalu River in northeastern China. By the mid-sixteenth century the Jianzhou formed a confederation distinct from the Haixi Jurchens.

In 1588 Nurhaci brought Wanggiya and the Donggo tribe together as he consolidated the Jianzhou. His subsequent unification of Jurchen groups laid the foundations of the Later Jin and Qing dynasties.
