Marquis Of Xubu
The Marquis of Xubu (died 189) was a ''chanyu'' of the Southern Xiongnu during the late period of the Han dynasty. He was installed by a rebellious faction of the Southern Xiongnu after they killed the previous ''chanyu'', Qiangqu and ousted his son, Yufuluo. History In 188 AD, the Xiuchuge people and a part of the Southern Xiongnu rebelled in Bing province, killing the Chinese provincial inspector and their ''chanyu'', Qiangqu. Initially, Qiangqu's son, Yufuluo was installed as the new ''chanyu'', but soon, the rebellious faction ousted him and replaced him with a marquis of the Xubu clan whose is known today as the Marquis of Xubu. Yufuluo went to the Han capital, Luoyang to complain, but at the time, the capital was thrown into chaos by the death of Emperor Ling.

Chanyu
Chanyu () or Shanyu (), short for Chengli Gutu Chanyu (), was the title used by the supreme rulers of Inner Asian nomads for eight centuries until superseded by the title "''Khagan''" in 402 AD. The title was most famously used by the ruling Luandi clan of the Xiongnu during the Qin dynasty (221–206 BC) and Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD). It was later also used infrequently by the Chinese as a reference to Tujue leaders. Etymology According to the ''Book of Han'', "the Xiongnu called the Tian, Heaven (天) ''Tengri, Chēnglí'' (撐犁) and they called a child (子) ''gūtú'' (孤塗). As for ''Chányú'' (單于), it is a "vast [and] great appearance" (廣大之貌).". L. Rogers and Edwin G. Pulleyblank argue that the title ''chanyu'' may be equivalent to the later attested title ''tarkhan'', suggesting that the Chinese pronunciation was originally ''dān-ĥwāĥ'', an approximation for ''*darxan''.Universität Bonn.
