Nurhaci (8 April 1559 – 30 September 1626) was a Jurchen chieftain who rose to prominence in the late 16th century in Manchuria.
Nurhaci was part of the Aisin Gioro clan, and reigned as the founding Khan of Later Jin from 1616 to 1626. Nurhaci reorganised and united various Jurchen tribes (the later "Manchu"), consolidated the Eight Banners military system, and eventually launched attacks on Ming dynasty of China and Joseon dynasty of Korea.
His conquest of Ming dynasty's northeastern Liaodong province laid the groundwork for the conquest of the rest of China by his descendants, who founded the Qing dynasty in 1636.
He is also generally credited with ordering the creation of a new written script for the Manchu language based on the Mongolian vertical script.
