Résumé
From Steppe to Dragon Throne: The XianbeiFrom the forested mountains of northeastern China to the imperial palaces of Tang Dynasty Luoyang, the Xianbei people made one of the most extraordinary journeys in the history of the ancient world. Emerging from the ruins of the Donghu confederation after their catastrophic defeat by the Xiongnu in 208 BC, the Xianbei retreated into the Greater Khingan Range and spent three centuries forging a distinct identity - before descending onto the Mongolian steppe, shattering Xiongnu hegemony, and eventually building the Northern Wei Dynasty, the most ambitious multiethnic empire East Asia had yet seen.
This book traces that journey in full, examining how a people of the northeastern forest zone became the architects of institutions - the equal-field land system, the fubing military organisation, and a sophisticated legal tradition - that would underpin the Tang Dynasty, history's most celebrated Chinese empire. Drawing on the latest archaeological discoveries, paleolinguistic research, and landmark ancient DNA studies including the 2024 genomic reconstruction of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, this is the definitive account of a people who have been hiding in plain sight at the heart of Chinese civilisation.
The Xianbei did not disappear into China. They built it.
