Encyclopedia > Xueyantuo

Xueyantuo (薛延陀) were an ancient Tiele people and khanate in central/northern Asia who were at one point vassals of Tujue, who later aligned with China's Tang Dynasty against Eastern Tujue. After Eastern Tujue's Jiali Khan Ashina Duobi was defeated by Tang in 630, Xueyantuo effectively took over control of Eastern Tujue's former territory, at times submissive to Tang and at times warring with Tang and the subsequent khan of Eastern Tujue that Tang supported, the Qilibi Khan Ashina Simo (阿史那思摩). Eventually, in 646, the Jialijiulishixueshaduomi Khan, Bazhuo, was killed by the Huihe and a Tang army led by the general Li Daozong the Prince of Jiangxia crushed Xueyantuo forces. The last khan, the Yitewushi Khan Duomozhi, surrendered. The Huihe took over former Xueyantuo territory.[1] The Dingling/Gaoche/Chile/Tiele (丁零/高車/æ••å‹’/铁勒) peoples were an ancient Siberian people. ...

Surname of Khans

The surname of Xueyantuo's khans are uncertain, although modern Chinese historian Bo Yang listed their surname as "Yishi" in his edition (also known as the Bo Yang Edition) of the Zizhi Tongjian, but Bo cited no source for his use of Yishi as a surname.[2] It is possible that Bo was influenced by the Tongdian which asserted the Xueyantuo surname as Yilitu (壹利吐, Yiliduo 一利咄 as in Cefu Yuangui and Yilidie 壹利咥 as in New Book of Tang) or certain studies that was made. According to Cen Zhongmian the forementioned name are related to the variant of elteris.[3] Duan Lianqin asserted that the name Yishibo (Yiedie Khan) can also be read interchangeable as Yedie (也咥).[4] The Zizhi Tongjian, in the original, refer to one Xueyantuo general named Duomo, possibly the Yitewushi Khan (after he became a Tang general) by the family name of Xue.[5] The Tanghuiyao (唐會要) asserted that the rulers of Xueyantuo claimed to be originally named Xue, and that the name of the tribe was changed to Xueyantuo after the Xue defeated and merged the Yantuo into their tribe.[6] Bo Yang (柏楊, born 1920) is a Mainlander-born writer based in Taiwan. ... Zizhi Tongjian (traditional Chinese character: 資治通鑑; simplified Chinese character: 资治通鉴; pinyin Zīzhì Tōngjìan, Wade-Giles Tzu-chih tung-chien) is known to be a important Chinese history text of annual chronology. ...
