Jurchen people
Manchuria is the homeland of the Manchu people, known as the "land of dragon rising" by the Aisin Gioro, the term introduced in 1636 for the Jurchen people, a Tungusic people who took power in 17th-century China, establishing the Qing dynasty that lasted until 1912. The population grew from about 1 million in 1750 to 5 million in 1850 and to 14 million in 1900, largely because of the immigration of Chinese farmers.
