In fact, these two names come from Yuwen Tai, who are considered to be descendants of the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people first established the Northern Wei Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen, considering the development of the country and the integration of multiple

Recently, I saw a more special discussion on the Internet. Some people say that The founder of in the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong was once named " Puliuruzhong ", so Yang Jian's name should be " Puliurujian ", and Li Shimin's grandfather Li Hu was once named "Dayehu", so Li Shimin's name should be "Dayeshimin".

According to the custom of this name, netizens concluded that , Sui and Tang , the two dynasties should belong to the dynasties established by the Xianbei people. So is the real historical situation as netizens said? Are the names of Yang Jian and Li Shimin as netizens said?


The real names of Yang Jian and Li Shimin

The reason why netizens raised this more interesting question is actually not without any basis. Netizens who can raise this question must have a certain understanding of history. After all, Yang Jian’s father Yang Zhong did use the name "Pu Liu Ru Zhong", and Li Shimin’s grandfather Li Hu did use the name "Da Yehu". So where did these two names come from? Could it be that the Yang Jian family and the Li Shimin family are indeed Xianbei people, so they use such a name?

In fact, these two names are derived from Yuwentai . Yuwentai is considered a descendant of the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people originally established Northern Wei . During the Emperor Xiaowen period, considering the development of the country and the integration of multiple ethnicities, Emperor Xiaowen proposed the "Sinicization Project" to gradually integrate the Xianbei people with Han people , and both bloodlines and culture were in a certain degree of Chineseization.

Under the influence of Emperor Xiaowen's action, the originally pure Xianbei people of the Northern Wei Dynasty had a certain degree of sinicization. In the later period, Yuwen Tai divided the Northern Wei Dynasty and established the Western Wei regime, he was very dissatisfied with the previous sinicization of Emperor Xiaowen, so he proposed to " Xianbei to ".

The easiest way to "turn the Han people into Xianbei" is to take the name of the Xianbei people. It is in this historical context that Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong and Li Shimin's grandfather Li Hu have the names of "Pu Liuru Zhong" and "Da Yehu".

Then the question comes again. After Yang Zhong and Li Hu both had Xianbei names, did they say that they were Xianbei people? It is obvious that this is not the case. Based on the family background of the Yang Zhong family, we will find that it originated from before of the Western Han Dynasty. When Xiang Yu committed suicide by slashing his throat in the Wujiang River, Yang Zhong's ancestor Yang Xi and the other four people divided Xiang Yu's bodies and went home to receive a reward, and began to make a fortune from then on.

During the Eastern Han period, the Yang family experienced a prosperous scene of "four generations and three dukes". Hongnong Yang family is famous for this. Judging from such a family background, the Yang Zhong family can definitely be regarded as a pure Han family. Their history is much longer than the Xianbei people, and their influence in history is far greater than that of the Xianbei people. However, under the tremendous pressure of Yuwen Tai, Yang Zhong had to obey the arrangements and change the name "Pu Liuruzhong".

The same is true. If the Li Hu family traces its origin, it can also be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty. Li Guang is also a predecessor of the Li Hu family. The Li family is also a Han family with a long history, so Li Hu naturally has a pure Han bloodline. As for whether Yang Jian and Li Shimin are purely Han ancestry, and what about their names? We need to continue to analyze and study based on historical background.

First talk about the names of the two. After Yang Zhong changed his name to "Puliuruzhong", he gave birth to his son Yang Jian with his wife Lu Kutao in 541 AD. He was fashionable and in the Western Wei era, so Yang Zhong had to abide by the rules set by Yuwen Tai and gave Yang Jian a Xianbei name "Puliurujian". Judging from this actual situation, Yang Jian's name is "Puliurujian", which is also traceable.

Later, after Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he abandoned this name and continued to sinicize the rest of the Sui Dynasty. It happened that Li Shimin was born in 599 AD, which was already the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Li Shimin was called Li Shimin as soon as he was born, and there was no Xianbei name. It was purely nonsense to say that he was called "Daye Shimin".


Did the Sui and Tang Dynasties belong to the Xianbei regime?

After talking about the real names of Yang Jian and Li Shimin, we continue to analyze the bloodlines of the two. Are they considered Xianbei people? To figure out this issue, we only need to start researching from the blood of the two of them. Before Yang Zhong, the Yang family all belonged to the pure Han blood, so Yang Jian must be of Han blood and does not have Xianbei blood. After all, Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong and his mother Lu Kutao were both authentic Han blood. People with two Han blood naturally could not have Xianbei blood.

Let’s talk about Li Shimin. His grandfather Li Hu is also of pure Han blood. However, after Dugu Xin married his fourth daughter to Li Yuan father Li Bing , the bloodline of the Li family has changed to a certain extent. Li Bing gave birth to a son Li Yuan with his wife of the Xianbei tribe. Therefore, Li Yuan has 50% Xianbei tribe blood. Li Yuan gave birth to Li Shimin with Yuwen Tai's daughter, Dou, the daughter of Princess Xiangyang. So what about Li Shimin's bloodline? Li Yuan has 50% Xianbei bloodline. Yuwen Tai's daughter is the daughter born to Yuwen Tai and her Han wife, so she also has 50% Xianbei bloodline. The Xiangyang princess married Han Dou Yi and gave birth to a daughter Dou family. Therefore, Li Yuan's wife Dou family has 25% Xianbei bloodline.

Dou and Li Yuan gave birth to Li Shimin again, so Li Shimin had even fewer Xianbei bloodlines, basically less than 20% of Xianbei bloodlines. From the principle of bloodline judgment, Li Shimin had more than 80% of Han bloodlines, which obviously he should be considered a Han Chinese.

After understanding the bloodlines of Yang Jian and Li Shimin, we will study whether the Sui and Tang dynasties were established by the Xianbei people. In fact, it is very simple. Yang Jian, the founder of the Sui Dynasty, had a pure Han bloodline. The Sui Dynasty was naturally a pure Han dynasty. In addition, some of the Chineseization measures after Yang Jian became emperor made the entire degree of Chineseization of the Sui Dynasty more obvious.

Although Li Yuan has 50% of Xianbei blood, Tang Dynasty inherited the political legacy of the Sui Dynasty and continued to develop on this basis. Therefore, in a strict sense, the Tang Dynasty is naturally a pure Han Dynasty. Even if the descendants of Li Yuan have Xianbei blood, this does not affect the orthodox nature of the Tang Dynasty being the Han people.

After the multi-ethnic integration of the Tang Dynasty, there was actually no Xianbei people in the true sense. After all, the Xianbei people in the later period had more or less Han blood. Everyone developed together, which promoted the prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty and made the Tang Dynasty the most prosperous dynasty in ancient history.


Conclusion

Based on the real historical situation, we can already conclude that Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian did use the Xianbei name "Puliurujian", but this did not affect Yang Jian's Han bloodline and the nature of the Han dynasty of the Sui Dynasty; Li Shimin was born in the Sui Dynasty and did not have any Xianbei name. Although he had a certain Xianbei bloodline, it did not affect the positioning of the Tang Dynasty as a Han dynasty!
