Jianzhou Jurchens
Nurhaci, the chief of the Jianzhou Jurchens, was Wan's son-in-law, and, in Pamela Crossley's view, viewed Wan and his Hūlun as role models for himself and his Later Jin dynasty in northeastern China. Many years later, long after Hong Taiji had renamed Jurchens to Manchus, and both Wan and Nurhaci were dead, Qing historians referred to Wan as one of the first great leaders of the "Manchu nations".
