Hejiang settled at this moment by Northern Mohe tribes were submitted to Balhae Kingdom under King Mun and reign King Seon's reign (818-830) :
- Funie Mohe (拂涅靺鞨) were located on the south between Hejiang Province and Songjiang Province
- Tieli Mohe (鐵利靺鞨) on the west of Hejiang Province
- Heishui Mohe (黑水靺鞨) roughly between the north of Hejiang Province (Shuangyashan, Jiamusi, Hegang and Yichun) and the south of actual Khabarovsk Krai (Bikin, Vyazemsky, Lazo and Khabarovsk neighbourhood).
King Seon administrated their territories by creating three prefectures :
- Dongping (Dongpyeong) Prefecture (東平府)
- Dingli (Cheolli) Prefecture (定理府)
- Huaiyuan (Hoewon) Prefecture (懷遠府)
Balhae was an early feudal medieval state of Eastern Asia, which developed its industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, and had its own cultural traditions and art. People of Balhae maintained political, economic and cultural contacts with the Tang dynasty, as well as Korea and Japan.
