0 "Shangshu·Yi Yin Chaoxian" records. King Cheng Tang asked the ministers to formulate orders from all directions to pay tribute to the King of Shang. Prime Minister Yi Yin 's suggestions mentioned the following countries: Zhengdong: Fulou, Qiuzhou, Yilu, Fushen, Shiman, Yuefu; Zhengnan: Ou Deng, Guiguo, Xuanzi, Chanli, Baipu, Jiujian; Zhengxi: Kunlun , Dog Kingdom, Guiqi, Zhisi, Yu'er, Guanxi, Diaote, Liqing, Qitou; Zhengbei: Kongtong, Daxia , Shache, Guta, Danluo, Baohu, Daizhai, Xiongnu, Floor 3 Floor 3 , Yuezhi , Weili, Qilong, Donghu .
" Mountains and Seas Jing ", the place where Tang destroyed Xia Jie is in Turpan, which means that the place recorded in "Yi Yin Chaoxian" is Turpan (see the author "Turpan Empire" for details). Most of the place names in "Yi Yin Chaoxian" cannot be found in "Shan Hai Jing". The ones that appear in "Shan Hai Jing" include: Kunlun, the platform and northwest of Jiaohe City today; Guanxi, Guanxiong Kingdom, , Aiding Lake, to the south; Kongtong, that is, Kongtong, near Gaochang City; Daxia, Daxia, , , to the north of the Fire Mountain; Yuezhi, yuezhi, north of the Fire Mountain; Xiongnu, southwest of Aiding Lake; Donghu, in "Dazedong", that is, the east of Aiding Lake.
"Shangshu" is part of " Shangshu " and was written about 500 BC. Yi Yin was from the late Xia and early Shang Dynasty. He was around 1600 BC and was more than a thousand years away from the Shang Shu. Many square countries do not have it in "Shan Hai Jing", which means it was fabricated by the author, or it was described according to the place name of during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period , so it does not have it in "Shan Hai Jing" and cannot be connected.
Muwang Three places passed by on the way to the east: Jiuquan Zhibang→Bibang→Xigu Donghu. There are two place names between Jiuquan and Xigu missing: Zhangye and and Wuwei . Minle County, Zhangye is the Qiang people in Yuezhi , Shandanju is the Huns. The Wuwei in the middle is the Mingqian Fortress, the Qilong in "Yi Yin Chaoxian", and the Xiongnu Xiu Tu Wang Wang City during the Western Expedition.
According to the records of "Records of the Grand Historian", the Xiongnu were descendants of the Xia Dynasty. After the demise of Xia, in addition to staying in the Central Plains, two remaining forces moved to the north and south directions respectively. Jie and many Xia people moved from Lishan south to Nanchao (now Chaohu City, Anhui), which is the southern branch. Another type of migration westward, "retreat Kitano ". "Kuo Map" explains in detail: "The wife of (Jie) son, Xun Zhuo (xūn zhōu, the Xiongnu pronunciation), and Jie's wife and concubines were fled to the northern wilderness and moved to the enemy with the animals. It was called the Xiongnu in China."
"Records of the Grand Historian Suoyin": Zhang Yan said, "Chunwei ran to the north during the Yin (Shang) period." It means that the 黑花 (the same person as Chunwei) led the royal family of the Northern Branch to live in the north and migrated with the plants and trees. It was the Huns called by later generations. The "Keiye" here is actually the Hexi Corridor, Hami and Turpan areas.
Judging from the distribution, the northern branch led by Chunwei is a huge team with no less than 100,000 people. They fled west from the Central Plains to the Hexi Corridor, driving away the Qiang Fang (Qianrong), a native inhabitant living in the Hexi Corridor for generations, and the Sai people from Hami and Turpan, and the power gradually became stronger. It was not until Huo Qubing's Western Expedition that the Huns gradually withdrew from the historical stage of the Hexi Corridor. But they didn't go far. Later, during the Three Kingdoms period, the Huns such as Liangzhou Xiutu Hu Liang Yuanbi, Ganzhou Lushui Hu Zhiwu Dai, and the Huns of Beiliang Hu Juqu Mengxun and other Huns still lived in the Hexi Corridor and Yongdeng.
"Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of the Huns": "Maodun arrived with his troops and attacked, and destroyed the Donghu King, and captured the people and the livestock. After returning, he attacked the Yuezhi in the west." This means that Maodun destroyed the Donghu in eastern Inner Mongolia and northeastern Hebei, and returned to his hometown Hexi Corridor and drove away the Yuezhi people. " Shuowen Jiezi ": "Go back, the girl is married. Go back to her hometown, go home." "After returning", it means returning to your hometown. It is very clear that the Hexi Corridor is the hometown of the Huns.
Since the end of the Shang Dynasty, the Xiongnu have settled in the Hexi Corridor for a long time. They are not the Northern Barbarians who wander in the Gobi Desert, nor are they the vagrants who migrate by water and grass.They lived in the vast oasis of Turpan and Hexi Corridor for a relatively stable period, and were adjacent to the Zili Qiang, Yuezhi Hu, Yin Shang people, Zong Zhou people, Sanmiao , as well as the white race Loulan and Xihe people.
About 500 BC, the Xiongnu took the Hexi Corridor as the base and its power rose rapidly, driving away and annexing Mongolian Plateau , and expanding to the northeast. Only then did they begin to live in the water and grass, subduing, annexing, and integrating other tribes such as Rongdi, Donghu, Loulan, and Dayuan in the north, drove away the Yuezhi people in Zhangye, and became a powerful nomadic people north of the Central Plains at the end of the Qin and early Han Dynasties. In the confrontation with the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Xiongnu royal court moved north to the Ordos area. During the Maodun Shanyu period, the power was the most powerful, which made the northern barbarians completely surrender and became enemy countries with the southern China. From then on, the endless wars of ethnic groups in the north and northwest for more than two thousand years have kicked off, and opened a situation where the regime changes frequently and the nations have been constantly changing. This is the history of the changes in the Huns.
