(1069-1123) Mongolian chieftain. He is the founder of the Jin dynasty. He is from the nomadic Juchen tribe. There is no information about his youth. After the collapse of the T'ang dynasty in 907, the Kitans took control of Manchuria, and in 947 they captured all of Manchuria, parts of North Korea and North China, and the Mongolian Plateau. The ruler of the Khitan, Te-Kuang, named the dynasty Liao. The Juchens were vassals of the Chitan. In a traditional ceremony in 1112, the Liao emperor T'ientsu asked Akuta, head of the Juchens, to dance before him. Akuta disobeyed this command and thus rebelled against Liao's rule.
Emperor Taizu of Jin (August 1, 1068 – September 19, 1123), personal name Aguda, sinicised name Min was the founder and first emperor of the Jurchen-led Jin dynasty of China. The name [Wanyan] Aguda is transcribed [Wan-yen] A-ku-ta in Wade-Giles; the alternative spelling Akutta (possibly from reconstruction of Jurchen language) appears in a very small number of books as well.
Who is Akuta?
In 1115, he established the Chin dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. Seeking to take advantage of this event, the Shung united with Akuta in hopes of reclaiming their lands captured by the Khitan. With the help of the Sungs, Akuta captured the lands of the Liao Empire within a few years. After the fall of Liao, disagreement broke out between the Sungs and the Chins, and Akuta marched on the Sungs and took their capital. The Sungs were exiled to the south and continued their existence after 1127 as the Southern Sung State.
After Akutta's death in 1123, internal turmoil arose in the Chin dynasty, and the state he founded was destroyed by the Mongols in 1280.
