History

Early medieval history

From 698 to 936, the kingdom of Balhae occupied northern Korea and parts of Manchuria and Primorsky Krai, consisting of the Nanai, the Udege, and descendants of the Tungus-speaking people and the people of the recently fallen Goguryeo kingdom of Korea. It bordered the Khitan people, the Shiwei people, the Silla people, and the citizens of Heisui Mohe, most of which is located in modern-day China and Mongolia. The vicinity of Tongjiang was settled at this moment by Funie Mohe tribes (Hanja/Hanzi: 拂涅靺鞨; ; ). These tribes were submitted to Balhae Kingdom under King Mun's reign (737-793). Later, King Seon (r.818-830), administered their territories by creating a prefecture in the neighbourhood: The Dongpyong Prefecture with Yiju, present-day Dangbi as its administrative centre.
