"Under the whole world, there can be no royal land; the coast of the land, can not be the king's subject." (Poetry Sutra • Xiao ya • North Mountain)
Wang, once the special name of the great leader of the Huaxia clan. For example, the King of Shang, who pampered himself, and the King of Zhou You, who loved him. The absurd king gradually lost his divine aura. In the Warring States period, the authority of the King of Zhou was even lower, and Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin, the princes chased after the Central Plains, conquered every year, and everyone was called king.
At that time, the Xiongnu began to rise on the present-day Mongolian plateau, adjacent to the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qin.
Therefore, Master Sima Qian mentioned in the "History of the Xiongnu": "When it was, the crown was seven warring states, and the three kingdoms were bordered by the Xiongnu. This is probably the beginning of the "Xiongnu" on the main history of China.
For this rough and plundering neighbor, the three countries all felt a headache, in the popular Sichuan dialect, it is very "brain-punching". Therefore, a long wall was built on the border to block the hooves of the Huns.
This kind of stingy approach of the neighbors, the Xiongnu chief must have felt unhappy, according to the temper of the steppe people, he had to resist to the end.
First of all, there must be a title that overwhelms the "king", shocks the four sides, and is the only one who respects himself.
Master Sima Qian's "History of the Xiongnu Column" mentions the title of the great leader of the Xiongnu - "Shan Yu", and according to later research, "Shan Yu" should be read as "chán yú".
Mr. Bangu has a more detailed discussion in the Book of Han and the Biography of the Xiongnu, in which the Xiongnu called their great leader "the plough alone". Then, he made an explanation: "The Xiongnu called heaven 'ploughing', the word 'lonely', single in the world, the vast appearance also, saying that it is like heaven alone in the ran." It seems that it can be called "the Son of Heaven who rules the four directions.".

People always have to get married. Where there is a king, there must be a queen; and if there is an emperor, there must be an empress. Although the Xiongnu did not have their own script, they had their own language, and Shan Yu's wife was not called "Shan Yu Hou", but "Fu Shi".
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Sima Zhen, who was ranked as a "Hongwenguan Bachelor" and wrote a "Shi Ji Suo Yin" (30 volumes), which made a deeper and broader review and annotation of the content of the "Shi Ji". This Mr. Sima and his book have been given high praise by the historians: the book attaches equal importance to sound and meaning, the annotations are detailed, there are many corrections to omissions and omissions, and it has a very high historical research value, which is jointly called "Three Notes on The History of History" with Pei Xiao of the Song Dynasty during the Southern Dynasty and Tang Zhang Shoujie's "History of Justice".

With such a reputation, Sima Zhen was praised as "Little Sima " by later generations. As for whether he is a descendant of Sima Qian, I am not very clear, so I will leave it to those who have a heart to investigate.
Gossip less, books to the right.
In the "History of Suoyin", Sima Zhen said that the title of "Fu Shi" means that she is as cute as "Rouge". This title is really good, just in the woman's love of beauty, and love to listen to the careful thinking of praise. Therefore, it is not difficult to know that the pronunciation of "Fu Shi" is "yān zhī".
According to historical records, the first Great Leader of the Xiongnu to appear was Touman Shan Yu, who had a very good set of hard work and had disturbed Qin Shi Huang's distraught. Unfortunately, many heroes have lost their beauty. Tou Man Shan Yu did not escape this spell, and eventually became confused because of the Fu clan, and was shot into a hedgehog by his own son.
