Giocangga

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giocangga ( Manchurian Giocangga.png ; Chinese  觉 昌 安 , Pinyin Juéchāng'ān ; † 1571 ) Temple name: Jingzu ( 景 祖 , Jǐngzǔ ) was a tribal prince of the Jurchen on the upper Suksuhu River, a subgroup of the Jianzhou Jurchen. He was the father of the Jurchen tribal chief Taksi , and the grandfather of Nurhaci , the founder of the Qing Dynasty

Life

Giocangga lived near the city of Hetu Ala, now part of Xinbin . He was known together with his brothers as the "six princes" ( ningguta belle ).

Although Giocangga himself was a chief, he was subordinate to Prince Wang Kao (王 杲, † 1575).

In 1574 Giocangga and his son Taksi formed a secret alliance against the Ming general Li Ch'êng-liang, first attacking Wang Kao and eight years later his son Atai, who was married to Giocangga's granddaughter. Giocangga and Taksi died in Atai's fortress after it was captured by Li's men, since Li thought Giocangga and Taksi had joined Atai.

progeny

Giocangga is considered to be one of the men with the most direct descendants. In Manchuria and Mongolia about 1.5 million are living direct male descendants. The reason for this is said to have been a large number of wives and concubines .
