Muroi - Shitui

Japanese: 室韋 - しつい
Muroi - Shitui

A people based in northeastern China from the mid-6th century to the Tang Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period. They are said to be a mixture of Mongolian and Tungusic. They were originally based in the east of the Khingan Mountains, but gradually expanded their influence during the Sui Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty their territory extended from the confluence of the Heilongjiang (Amur River) and Songhua River to border the Turks on the Mongolian Plateau. They often traded with China, and sometimes invaded the northern border of China together with the Turks and Khitan. However, they did not manage to establish a unified nation. The Mongols, from whom Genghis Khan came, are descendants of the Mengyu Shiwei, who lived in the west of the Khingan Mountains during the Tang Dynasty.

Japanese:

中国、南北朝時代、6世紀中ごろから唐代まで、中国東北地区を本拠とした民族。モンゴル系にツングース系が混血したものという。初め興安嶺(こうあんれい)の東に拠(よ)っていたが、隋(ずい)代にしだいに勢力を広め、唐代にはその領域は黒竜江(アムール川)・松花江の合流点からモンゴル高原の突厥(とっけつ)に接するに至った。中国と交易を行うことが多かったが、ときには、突厥、契丹(きったん)などとともに中国北辺に侵入した。しかし、統一国家を建設するには至らなかった。唐代、興安嶺の西にいた蒙兀(もうごつ)室韋の後裔(こうえい)が、チンギス・ハンの出たモンゴルである。
