In his early years, the translated name of Huang Taiji was uncertain, or he wrote "Huang Taiji", "Huang Taiji", "Hong Taizu" and "Hong". During the Qianlong period, it was changed to modern translation, which is still in use today. He is the eighth son of Nurhachi, the founding hero of the late Jin Dynasty.
1626 After Nurhachi's death, he inherited Khan's position, and the year number was Tiancong. At that time, the actual ruling area of Houjin was now the northeast of China and parts of the Russian Far East. During his reign, he vigorously developed production and continuously expanded the army, which laid a solid foundation for the rapid expansion of the Qing Dynasty to the Central Plains.
In the first year of Chongde (1636), he proclaimed himself emperor in Shengjing (present-day Shenyang), with the founding name of Qing Dynasty, forcing Li Han to submit to Qing Dynasty. Hong Chengchou was captured in Jin Song War in the sixth year of Chongde (1642). Since then, the elite of the Ming dynasty has been lost, and the Ningjin defense line has completely collapsed. It has become an inevitable trend for the Qing army to enter the customs. In the eighth year of Chongde (1643), Huang Taiji died suddenly on the eve of the Qing army's entry into Shanhaiguan, failing to realize his long-cherished wish to seize the national political power.
Because there was no heir before his death, his younger brother Rui Dourgen and his eldest son Haug fought for a position and demonstrated with each other. In the end, Dourgen adopted Zhuang Fei's six-year-old son, Fu Lin, by himself for the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty and the change of Yuan Shunzhi.
