The Shatuo people, also known as Chu Yuebu people, are mostly named Zhu Xie. At first, they were nomads in the southwest of Junggar mountain basin (now Balikun, Xinjiang). In the Tang Dynasty, they belonged to Luntai, where the official residence of the Western Regions was located. The place where they settled was located in the desert, and there was a "big mound" [Qi, Shashidi]. Therefore, Shatuo people belong to the Europa race, with deep eyes, high nose, curly hair, bearded and other characteristics. At first, they were in the moon department of West Turkic, so they were also called "Shatuo Huns".

During the Five Dynasties, the Shatuo people gradually grew stronger and merged with the Yue people and the Sogdians. An Lushan in the Tang Dynasty was a typical half-blood. His father was a Sogdian and his mother was a Hun. The nine surnames of Zhaowu-"Kang, An, Mi, Cao, Shi, He and Shi" originally belonged to the Sogdians. During the Five Dynasties, the Sogdians with nine surnames in Zhaowu were married to the Shatuo people, and they made great contributions to the establishment of the political party in Shatuo. The founder of the late Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingtang's ancestor, came from the Sogdian people with nine surnames in Zhaowu.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Shatuo people kept in touch with the imperial court from beginning to end, while the Tubo people occupied part of the Hexi Corridor, and the Shatuo people had no choice but to cut off contact with the imperial court. In Zhenyuan, 7, accounts of the Shatuo tribe surrendered to Tubo, and the Tubo people settled the Shatuo people in Ganzhou (now Zhangye, Gansu).

Later, the Tubo people suspected that Zhu Xie, the leader of Shatuo, was loyal and colluded with the Uighurs, preparing to move the Shatuo people to the north of the Yellow River. The Shatuo people were particularly afraid. Zhu Xie was devoted to discussing with his child Zhu Xie, and Zhu Xie said, "I am a Tang minister, and the tragedy is mired in pollution. Now if I go home from Xiaoguan (Guyuan, Ningxia), it will be more difficult to destroy the species." In the third year of Block Harmony (88), 3, people of Shatuo tribe gradually moved eastward, and the Tubo people pursued them, while the Shatuo people fought and walked, killing more than half of them. The injured Zhu Xie Zhiyi led 1, people and finally arrived in Lingzhou (Lingwu, Ningxia). What is the status of the Shatuo people in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?

The court settled the Shatuo people in Yanzhou (Dingbian, Shaanxi), set up the Soul Market House, and served as the military envoy of Zhu Xie. The old and weak of Shatuo also came one after another, and Zhu Xie's loyal brother Gele Abo led 7 people to take refuge in the spirit salt observation ambassador Fan Xichao, and the court served as the viceroy of his soul market house. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Xie's family in Shatuo was given the surname of Liu by the court, and Zhu Xie's son Zhu Xie Chixin was renamed Li Guochang.

Li Guochang's son, Li Ke, was honored in "Breaking Huang Chao and Restoring Beijing to Chang 'an", and was later promoted to Hedong as our envoy by the imperial court. After the demise of the Tang Dynasty, Li Keyong established the Later Tang Dynasty, and then the Shatuo people successively established political parties, such as Shi Jingtang established the Later Jin Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan established the Later Han Dynasty, and Liu Zhiyuan's younger brother Liu Chong established the Northern Han Dynasty.

in the post-Jin period, the Khitan people rose up and constantly harassed and plundered in North China and the Central Plains. The Khitan people felt that the Shatuo people plundered a lot of gold and jewels in the Central Plains, so they attacked the Shatuo people professionally. Shatuo people had to move south, and one of them moved to Hubei. Up to now, Shatuo descendants still live in Shatuoying Village in danjiangkou city and some areas of Lijiapo Village in Yunyang District, Shiyan City. Descendants of the Shatuo people still preserve the genetic characteristics of their ancestors, and children of the Li family often see their hair slightly red and curly; Double eyelids, big eyes and eyelashes; Pupils are yellowish white or dark blue. Why did the Shatuo people disappear from history in the future?

In fact, this was caused by the national assimilation during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Song Dynasty. Just like the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in China, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period was an era of great national integration. Although the later Song Dynasty was not a period of great unity, the social development was relatively stable, and this Chinese nation was integrated into the Han nationality. Therefore, a part of Sha Tuo's people were later integrated into the Han nationality, and naturally some of them were integrated into the Chinese nationalities such as Qidan, Tangut, Mongolia and Jurchen.
