Balhae() or Parhae, also rendered as Bohai, was a multiethnic kingdom established in 698 by Dae Joyeong (대조영). It was called by Tang dynasty as the Kingdom of Jin (震, 진) until 713 when its name was officially declared as Parhae. At its greatest extent it corresponded to what is today Northeast China, the northern half of the Korean Peninsula and the southeastern Russian Far East.

Parhae's early history was marked by a rocky relationship with the Tang dynasty, characterized by military and political conflict, but by the end of the 8th century the relationship had become cordial and friendly. The Tang dynasty would eventually recognize Parhae as the "Prosperous Country of the East Ocean(해동성국)". Numerous cultural and political exchanges were made. Parhae was conquered by the Khitan-led Liao dynasty in 926. Parhae survived as a distinct population group for another three centuries in the Liao and Jin dynasties before disappearing under Mongol rule.
