The [[Jurchens]] (Nüzhen, a Tungus people) inhabited northeast [[China]], including the [[Changbai Mountains]] and the drainage areas of the Songhua and Heilong rivers. In 1115, led by [[Wanyan Aguda]], they established the '''Jin (Kin) Dynasty''' and based their capital in Huining (now [[Acheng]] in [[Heilongjiang]]). In the decade that followed, the Jin Dynasty continued to expand its territory, moving its political center south to the [[Liao Dynasty]]'s Nanjing (South Capital, now [[Beijing]]), renaming it Zhongdu ("Middle Capital"). In 1126, Jin forces launched a southern expedition to annihilate the [[Northern Song Dynasty]]. By then, Jin territory bordered Western Xia to the west and was separated from the Southern Song by the [[Qinling Mountains]] and the [[Huaihe River]]. In 1234, the Jin Dynasty, which lasted 120 years, collapsed due to attacks from both Mongols and the Southern Song.
