The Manchu clan [[Aisin Gioro]], which founded the [[Qing dynasty]] of China, claimed their progenitor [[Bukūri Yongšon]] was conceived near Paektu Mountain. In 1682, 1698, 1733, 1754 and 1805, Qing emperors visited Jilin and paid homage to the mountain. The rites at Mount Changbai were heavily influenced by the ancient [[Feng Shan]] ceremonies, in which Chinese emperors offered sacrifices to heaven and earth at [[Mount Tai]]. The [[Kangxi Emperor]] claimed that Mount Tai and Changbai belong to the same mountain range, which runs from northeast to southwest but is partially submerged under the sea before reaching [[Shandong]]. The geography and [[feng shui]] of Mount Changbai thus provided legitimacy to the Aisin Gioro clan's rule over China.<ref name="jlsda">{{cite web |title=清朝祭拜长白山的故事 |url=http://www.jlsda.cn/G_NR_W.jsp?urltype=news.NewsContentUrl&wbtreeid=1029&wbnewsid=1861 |publisher=Jilin Archives Information Network |access-date=20 May 2022}}</ref>

''Baishan Heishui'', "white mountain and black river", referring to Mount Changbai and the [[Heilongjiang River|Heilongjiang]], has been a traditional name for [[Northeast China]] since the [[Jin dynasty (1115–1234)|Jin dynasty]].<ref>{{cite web |script-title=zh:白山黑水 |title=Báishānhēishuǐ |trans-title=White mountains and black waters |language=zh |url=https://www.moedict.tw/%E7%99%BD%E5%B1%B1%E9%BB%91%E6%B0%B4 |website=moedict.tw |access-date=20 May 2022}}</ref>
