The title of the Xiongnu ruler. It was monopolized by the ruling clan, the Renji, and the successor was decided by the will of the previous Chanyu, but was ultimately approved by a clan chiefs' meeting. It was later used by the Xianbei, Di, and Qiang nations, but after the Rouran in the 5th century, the rulers of the nomadic nations on the Mongolian Plateau came to be called Khagan (Khan). The Book of Han states that the meaning of Chanyu is "vast," but there are other theories and this is not the accepted theory.

匈奴(きょうど)の君主の称号。支配氏族である攣鞮(れんてい)氏に独占され、前の単于の遺言などによって継承者が決められたが、最終的には氏族長会議で承認された。そののち、鮮卑(せんぴ)、氐(てい)、羌(きょう)などの国家でも用いられたが、5世紀の柔然(じゅうぜん)以後、モンゴル高原の遊牧国家の君主はハガン(可汗)と称するに至った。単于の意味については、『漢書(かんじょ)』に「広大」を示すというが、これには異説もあり、定説とはなっていない。 [護 雅夫] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
