Nurhaci (ᠨᡠᡵᡤᠠᠴᡳ) is a name from the now critically endangered Tangusic language of Manchuria which possibly means “skin of the great boar” or “person brave like a wild boar”. History knowns him as Khan of the Great Jin (努爾哈赤), the precursor to the Qing Dynasty of China. Nurhaci’s story and those of the Jin and Qing Dynasties forever change China’s history and with it the lives of Zheng Zhilong, his son Zheng Chenggong and Taiwan.
