Location of the First Mokhe Tribes According to Historical Chronicles

Forming of mokhe tribes refers to the second half of the V century. From the very beginning they started to play a big role in the history of the Far East people. One of the most relevant questions when studying mokhe tribes is the territory they lived on. Analyzing chronicle sources provides opportunity to clarify the places of locations of each one of the seven mokhe tribes. “Bei-shi” has information about the way from Holun to mokhe and the time it took. Calculations show that heishui tribes lived in the region of the mouth of the Mudanjiang river. The Limo tribe, which, according to sources, lived on the northern border of Koguryo, could not be on the Fuyui territory. It should have lived in the basin of the upper flow of the Mudanjiang river. To the north, in the middle part of the Mudanjiang river, the Boduo tribe was located. To the east of Boduo , in the basin of the Suifun river, was the location of the Fonye tribe. To the east from it and to the beginning of the Sea of Japan (on the territories of Partizansky and Lazovsky districts of the Primorsky region) lived the Haoshi tribe. To the south-east of Funie , on the western bank of Lake Hanka, the Anchegu tribe was located. To the south-west from it, lived the Heishui tribe. On the geographical map there is a river mouth of the Mudanjiang river, where, according to calculations, the Heishui tribe should have been located. To the south-east of Limo , along the lower flow of the Tumenjiang river and in the valley of the Hunchun river, on the territory of the former Northern Wozui state, the Baishan tribe was located. Funie , Anchegu and Haoshi tribes, which used arrows with stone tips, were located on the territory of Krounovskaya archaeological culture. They primarily consisted of Sushen people.
