A complete genetic analysis of [[Empress Ashina]] (551–582), Bumin Qaghan' granddaughter through his son Muqan Qaghan, by Xiaoming Yang et al. in 2023 , found nearly exclusively [[Ancient Northeast Asian]] ancestry (97,7%) next to minor West-Eurasian components (2,7%), and no Chinese ("Yellow River") admixture.

Bumin Qaghan (Template:Langx[1]) or Yamï QaghanTemplate:Efn (Template:Langx, died 552 AD) also known as Illig Qaghan (Chinese: 伊利可汗, Pinyin: Yīlì Kèhán, Wade–Giles: i-li k'o-han) was the founder of the First Turkic Khaganate. He was the eldest son of Ashina Tuwu (吐務 / 吐务).[2] He was the chieftain of the Turks under the sovereignty of the Rouran Khaganate.[3][4][5][6] He is also mentioned as Tumen (Template:Linktext, Template:Linktext, commander of ten thousand[7]) of the Rouran Khaganate.[8]

Early life and reign

According to the History of the Northern Dynasties and the Zizhi Tongjian, in 545 Tumen's tribe started to rise and frequently invaded the western frontier of Wei. The chancellor of Western Wei, Yuwen Tai, sent An Nuopanto (安諾盤陀, Nanai-Banda, a Sogdian from Bukhara,[9]) as an emissary to the Göktürk chieftain Tumen, in an attempt to establish a commercial relationship.[10][11] In 546, Tumen paid tribute to the Western Wei state.[11] In that same year, Tumen put down a revolt of the Tiele tribes against the Rouran Khaganate, their overlords.[11] Following this, Tumen felt entitled to request of the Rouran a princess to be his wife. The Rouran khagan, Yujiulü Anagui, sent a message refusing this request and adding: "You are my blacksmith slave. How dare you utter these words?" Bumin got angry, killed Anagui's emissary, and severed relations with the Rouran Khaganate.[10][12][13][14] Anagui's "blacksmith" ( / 锻奴, Pinyin: duàn nú, Wade–Giles: tuan-nu) insult was recorded in Chinese chronicles. Some sources state that members of the Turks (referred as "Tujue" in Chinese sources) did serve as blacksmiths for the Rouran elite,[3][4][5][6] and that "blacksmith slavery" may refer to a kind of vassalage that prevailed in Rouran society.[15] Nevertheless, after this incident Bumin emerged as the leader of the revolt against the Rouran.

In 551, Bumin requested a Western Wei princess for marriage. Yuwen Tai permitted it and sent Princess Changle of Western Wei to Bumin.[10][12][13] In the same year Emperor Wen of Western Wei died, and Bumin sent a mission and gave two hundred horses.[10][12]

The beginning of formal diplomatic relations with China propped up Bumin's authority among the Turks. He eventually united the local Turkic tribes and ended their subservience to the Rouran. In 552 Bumin's army defeated Anagui's forces at the north of Huaihuang and then Anagui committed suicide.[12] With their defeat Bumin proclaimed himself "Illig Qaghan" and made his wife qaghatun.[12] "Illig" means Ilkhan (i.e. ruler of people) in Old Turkic.[16] According to the Bilge Qaghan's memorial complex and the Kul Tigin's memorial complex, Bumin and Istemi ruled people by Turkic laws and they developed them.[1][17]

Death and family

Bumin died within several months of proclaiming himself Illig Qaghan.[18] He was married to Princess Changle of Western Wei.

A complete genetic analysis of Empress Ashina (551–582), Bumin Qaghan' granddaughter through his son Muqan Qaghan, by Xiaoming Yang et al. in 2023 , found nearly exclusively Ancient Northeast Asian ancestry (97,7%) next to minor West-Eurasian components (2,7%), and no Chinese ("Yellow River") admixture. This supports the Northeast Asian origin of the Ashina tribe and the Göktürk Khanate.[22] According to the authors, these findings "once again validates a cultural diffusion model over a demic diffusion model for the spread of Turkic languages" and refutes "the western Eurasian origin and multiple origin hypotheses" in favor of an East Asian origin for the Türks.[23]

Legacy

He was succeeded by his younger brother Istemi[24] in the western part and by his son Issik Qaghan in the eastern part. In less than one century, his khaganate expanded to comprise most of Central Asia.

His accomplishments are mentioned in the Tariat[25] and Bugut inscriptions.[26]
