(Forty-three) In the twelfth month, the Jurchen Aguda declared himself emperor and named his state the Great Jin. (The original chieftain of the Jurchen was originally a man from Silla, surnamed Wanyan. 'Wanyan' is like the Han word for 'king'. The Jurchen gave him a woman as wife, and she bore two sons, the eldest of whom was Hulai. From then on, it was transmitted through three persons down to Yangge Dashi, and down to Aguda. He was eight feet tall, of heroic, imposing, calm, and resolute appearance. He seldom spoke or laughed, had an uncommon gaze, and possessed great ambition. There was a certain Yang Pu, a native of Liaodong, who advised Aguda to declare himself emperor. Because his country produced gold, he named it the Great Jin. He sent an emissary to Tianzu to request an investiture. Tianzu dispatched an envoy with imperial carriages and crowns to enfeoff him as the Emperor of Donghuai).
