What happened to Bohai people in the post-Bohai era?
The Bohai Kingdom was destroyed by the Khitans and then lived in groups. The adherents of Bohai Sea were ruled by Khitan and Jurchen successively. Due to the long-term alien rule and the subtle influence of Confucianism, their own national characteristics are becoming less and less. By the end of the Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, their unique national traces could be said to be gone, and the Bohai people had completely integrated into the big collective of the Chinese nation.

The unique costumes of Bohai people have changed in the Tang Dynasty, and they began to adopt Hanfu. During the reign of Jurchen, they wore the costumes of Qidan people. Later, under the rule of Jurchen, in order to carry out the policy of enslavement, Jurchen asked all subjects to shave and change clothes and wear Jurchen costumes, and Haibo adherents under other people's eaves had to do the same. It was not until the Jin Dynasty was under the rule of Hailing King that the restrictions on national costumes were relaxed, and more and more people wore the Hanfu of Bohai adherents.

During the Liao and Jin Dynasties, Bohai people had the highest cultural level among many ethnic minorities in Northeast China. Their national customs have many similarities with those of the Han nationality, but there are still great differences in marriage and love. In traditional China society, men are superior to women, and men can have several concubines. Among the Bohai people, they strictly practice monogamy, and the wife can restrain her husband's behavior to a great extent. Moreover, Bohai people advocate young people's free love. With the implementation of the high-pressure rule of Jurchen, they forcibly abolished the free marriage and love system of Bohai adherents, and took many Bohai women as the wing rooms of Qidan and Jurchen nobles, destroying their monogamy.

By the late Jin Dynasty, Bohai people had abandoned the original marriage and love system, just like Han people. Because the adherents of Bohai Sea lived in a multi-ethnic mixed environment such as Khitan, Jurchen and Han nationality for a long time, coupled with the sinicization policy of the ruling ethnic group, the personality of the Bohai Sea ethnic group was gradually removed. By the Yuan Dynasty, the Bohai Sea ethnic group was basically invisible, and they had integrated into the blood of the Chinese nation.
