Southern and Northern Dynasties: Where did the Xianbei come from? Where did Tuoba Bu and Murong Bu come from?

Great Talk of the Southern and Northern Dynasties: Where did the Xianbei people come from? Where did Tuoba Bu and Murong Bu come from?

Both Tuoba and Murong bu belonged to the Xianbei tribe at the same time, and in the successive years of conquests in the Wuhu rebellion, the Tuoba tribe finally defeated murong bu and unified the Xianbei tribes.

After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty in the 4th century, the states of Former Yan, Daiguo, Later Yan, Western Yan, Western Qin, Southern Liang, Southern Yan and Northern Wei were successively established in Northern China, while Northern Mobei was dominated by the Xianbei Branch.

In 439, northern Wei unified northern China, and thereafter often clashed with Rouran. Later, after the Northern Wei Dynasty experienced the Rebellion of the Six Towns, it split into Eastern Wei and Western Wei, and Eastern Wei and Western Wei were subsequently usurped by Northern Qi and Northern Zhou respectively. In the end, Northern Zhou unified Northern China and died in 581 due to Yang Jian's usurpation of the throne.

The Ruran Khanate, which dominated northern Cyprus, was also destroyed by the Turkic Khaganate in 552. The Xianbei Branch Tuguhun Khanate, established in Qinghai during the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms periods, remained until 663, when it was destroyed by the Tufan Khanate.

The Xianbei came into contact with the Central Plains Dynasty after the defeat of the Xiongnu at the end of the Han Dynasty, and at the time of the decline of the Western Jin Dynasty, the three major branches of the Xianbei rose, and they were the most established ethnic groups in the minority regime.

The three branches were the Eastern Xianbei Duanbu, Murong Bu, and Yuwen Bu, the Western Xianbei Tuguhun, the Northern Xianbei Tuoba Bu, and the Xianbei Beizhi Ruoran. When the Xianbei tribe entered the Central Plains in the early days, it was also known as a man-eating tribe.

At the time of the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, Murong Xianbei plundered the Central Plains, robbed countless riches, and also kidnapped tens of thousands of Han maidens, and some people said that these tens of thousands of maidens on the Road of Rotation were the rations of Murong Xianbei's army.
