About Chapter 27 Story Introduction: As early as the Western Jin Dynasty when the civil strife broke out, the Xianbei Murong tribe living in the Liao River valley began to become strong under the leadership of the leaders of the past dynasties, and when Murong Hao inherited the leader's position, Murong Hao took the initiative to accept the Han ancestors who fled north to the Liao River valley to avoid the war, surrendered to the Later Zhao Empire, which occupied the Central Plains, and connected and annexed the surrounding Xianbei tribes, when the Xianbei Murong Department began to become strong, Murong Hao defeated the Hou Zhao army and got rid of the control of Hou Zhao. At the same time, he attacked and plundered the Goguryeo regime and the Buyeo regime in the northeast, obtained land and population, and the Xianbei Murong Department shocked the northeast, Murong Hao referred to the Central Plains code system, established the former Yan regime, after Murong Hao died of illness, his son Murong Jun succeeded to the throne, taking advantage of the chaos of the Later Zhao Empire, Murong Jun took the opportunity to go south to conquer the city and conquer the land, trying to enter the Central Plains.

Through this story, we can see that as early as the outbreak of the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Xianbei tribes in the Northeast have begun to become strong, because of the frequent wars in the Central Plains, a large number of Han ancestors fled to the Liao River Valley, attached to the local Xianbei tribes, these Han ancestors are not only increasing the population of the Northeast region, but also bringing advanced culture and technology to the nomadic tribes in the Northeast region, so that the Xianbei tribes occupying the Liao River Basin have developed rapidly. In particular, the Xianbei tribe and the Murong tribe that occupy Liaodong and Liaoxi developed the most rapidly, when the Youzhou assassin Wang Jun colluded with the Duan cavalry to attack the Central Plains, the Xianbei tribes in the northeast must have seen the fragility of the Central Plains Dynasty army, and they naturally wanted to get a piece of the pie in the Central Plains chaos, but unfortunately, there were many nomadic tribes in the northeast at that time, and it was difficult to have a unified leadership, and the small tribe of the nomadic people appeared great leader Shile, extinguishing the wolf smoke everywhere in the Central Plains, The establishment of the Later Zhao Empire, its successor Shi Hu did not have Shi Le's eloquence, and was finally defeated by the Xianbei Murong Department who had just conquered the Duan Division, and after Shi Hu's death, Ran Min usurped the throne, and the Central Plains region was divided again, and the wolf smoke was everywhere, and at this time, the Xianbei Murong Department under the leadership of the leader Murong Hao, has unified the Xianbei tribes in the Liao River Basin together, after his death, his son Murong Jun succeeded to the throne, and the former Yan regime established by the Xianbei Murong Department has the strength to chase the Central Plains.

It is precisely because the Xianbei tribes in the northeast region accepted the ancestors of the Han nationality that their degree of sinicization is naturally higher than that of the Xianbei tribes in the nomadic Mongolian steppe and the northwest region, so they can be called kings and founding the country as soon as possible, and the Xianbei Murong tribe is only an outstanding representative of the Xianbei tribe with a relatively high degree of sinicization, and it is reasonable for the Murong tribe to annex other tribes with the leader Murong Hao.

And at this time. The Later Zhao Empire, which occupied the Central Plains, was replaced by Ran Wei, and the main ethnic group of the Later Zhao Empire was persecuted by the Han Emperor Ran Min's order to kill Hu, and the ethnic group began to decline, but at the same time, the Ran Wei regime also faced the crusade of the remnants of the Later Zhao Empire, and the social turmoil caused by the killing of Hu continued to ferment, and the Ran Wei regime occupying the Central Plains was in danger.

Moreover, the economic conditions of the icy Northeast region are far less rich than those in the Central Plains, and the natural environment is not as good as the Central Plains. Through the story of the establishment of the Qianyan regime by the Xianbei Murong Ministry, we might as well talk about some of the Xianbei people's situation.

The Xianbei tribe is different from other nomadic peoples, it is closer to the current ethnic minorities, more like a single race, and its ethnic name is far better than the ethnic name of his suzerain, the Xiongnu, not the contemptuous name of our Han ancestors, but according to the name of the mountains and rivers that its ethnic group arose in the Great Xianbei Mountain, which is somewhat similar to the naming of the Di nationality, which also shows that our Han ancestors began to pay attention to the influence of the northern nomads on the Central Plains.

In the modern society, in the Gaxian Cave in the northern section of the Great Xing'an Mountains of the Oroqen Autonomous Banner of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the stone tablet of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was found to worship the ancestors, and at the same time, through the current archaeology, it has been proved that the Menggehan Mountain in the territory of the Xing'an League in the Inner Mongolia region is the Great Xianbei Mountain recorded in the ancient historical books. Moreover, through the comparison of the bones unearthed from the tombs of the Northern Wei Dynasty with the DNA of the ethnic minorities in our northeast region, the Xibe people in our northeast region are the descendants of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe that established the Northern Wei Dynasty back then.

As early as the Western Han Dynasty, when the Xianbei people were still in a relatively weak tribal state, they were subordinated to the Xiongnu who dominated the grassland, and were enslaved by the Xiongnu, but with the continuous attack on the Xiongnu by the Han Dynasty, the main tribes of the Xiongnu either moved west or descended to the Han, and the various tribes of the nomads on the Mongolian steppe in the north began to wither, and the Xianbei people did not receive a direct blow from the Han Dynasty because they lived in the relatively remote northeast region, so when the Xiongnu began to decline, the Xianbei people got a stable stage of development, and its tribe gradually began to flourish. From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, the continuous wars in the Central Plains and the large-scale internal migration of the Xiongnu made the population of the Xianbei people grow greatly, and gradually controlled the Mongolian steppe in the north, and the Xiongnu people who stayed in the Mongolian steppe in the north also integrated into the Xianbei tribe in large numbers, and the huge Xianbei people separated many powerful tribes in the continuous nomadic migration.

In the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the various tribes of the Xianbei tribe were widely distributed, including the Xianbei Duanbu, Yuwen and Murong tribes in the northeast region, the Xianbei Tuoba tribe and Helan tribe in the northern grassland region, the bald tribe in the northwest region, and the Shuchu tribe of the Murong tribe, among which the Shuchu tribe of the Murong tribe established a country similar to a tribal alliance that existed for three hundred and fifty years in the northwest region, called Tuyuhun.

However, Tuyuhun is located in a remote area, and the sinicization is not deep, even if the country has been established for a long time, it is not a strong and prosperous state.

At the time of the establishment of the Tuyuhun state, among the various tribes of Xianbei, the strongest should be the tribes living in the northeast region, because of the chaos in the Central Plains, a large number of Han ancestors poured into the Liaohe River Valley, so that the Xianbei tribes located in this area The process of sinicization is very fast, and these tribes gradually began to settle down, and the process of feudalization is also carried out simultaneously. Therefore, at the time of the establishment of the Later Zhao Kingdom, these tribes established the Liaodong Kingdom and the Liaoxi Kingdom.

The tribes of the Xianbei tribes and other nomadic tribes living in the northwest region are relatively weak, but fortunately, at that time, the northwest region was under the rule of the Zhang Qianliang regime, and was in a relatively stable stage of life.

The Xianbei tribes living in the northern Mongolian steppe, the overall strength should not be underestimated, but because of the constant jealousy and suppression of the Central Plains Dynasty, the wars between the various tribes continued, even if the Xianbei Tuoba Department took advantage of the opportunity of the collapse of the Later Zhao Empire to establish the Dai State, but the Mongolian steppe in the north is really the most worried area of the Central Plains Dynasty, so the existence of the Dai State is not long, but because of the frequent wars in the Central Plains, the Xianbei tribes in the northern Mongolian steppe also have their own development space, although the degree of sinicization is relatively slow, but he saw the rise and fall of the country built by the various tribes of the nomadic tribes who entered the Central Plains, summed up the lessons and lessons, attached importance to the role of the scholar landlord class in the feudal state, and accelerated the process of sinicization of his own tribes.

The Tuyuhun country established by the Shuchu tribe of the Murong tribe of the Xianbei tribe who migrated to the northwest region is far away from the Central Plains and the degree of sinicization is very low, so it should still maintain the living conditions of the nomads. The country itself should also belong to the state of the nature of a tribal alliance, and the Han Dynasty. The situation of the Xiongnu's domination of the northern grasslands is relatively similar, so Tuyuhun is no longer the same as the Xianbei tribes who have entered the Central Plains. On the contrary, because of the difference in living regions and the different cultural influences, they are all tribes of the Xianbei tribe, but in the end, they gradually drifted away from the Xianbei tribes who later entered the Central Plains in terms of living habits and customs. Because Tuyuhun is far away from the Central Plains, the degree of sinicization is low. Therefore, it was not included in the list of the Sixteen Kingdoms by later historians, and because of this, Tuyuhun did not enter the big dye vat of ethnic integration in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and existed until the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and finally under the continuous blows of the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun tended to disintegrate, and the various tribes under its rule either surrendered to Tibet or attached to the Khitan, and the various countries established by the various tribes of the Xianbei tribe completely disappeared, and the Xianbei people gradually faded out of the records of the historical books.

Eventually, most of the Xianbei tribes in the northeast and the Mongolian steppe in the north were sinicized. With the disintegration of Tuyuhun, the Xianbei people in the northwest region merged into various ethnic groups in the northwest region. It is very likely that the Xibe tribe today is only the descendants of the small Xianbei tribe who stayed in the birthplace when the Xianbei tribe arose, or it may also be the descendants of the Xianbei nobles who fled back to the Daxinganling area when the Northern Wei Dynasty fell.

Nowadays, it is basically difficult for ethnic minorities to find the corresponding nomadic tribes, and it can only be said that they can find relevant preservation in terms of blood and customs, but due to the continuous migration of ancient nomads, they continue to integrate with the migratory ethnic groups, and the nomads do not attach importance to the use and description of words, and even say that the ancient nomads still belong to a relatively backward living state after all, and it is difficult to retain more written materials for today's people, and the funeral customs of the nomads are also relatively simple. After thousands of years of tomb robbing, our current archaeological activities cannot provide much evidence to prove the relationship between ancient nomads and today's ethnic minorities. Therefore, most of the information about the ancient nomads can only be speculated and reverie based on the words and phrases in the official historical materials preserved in ancient times, and most of the words and names recorded in the ancient texts are also transliterations of the ancients, and the pronunciation of the ancients is very different from our pronunciation today.
