Government

Migration and peace

Yujiulü Cheluhui gathered his Rouran subordinates. During his reign, the Rourans did not fight and wandered peacefully. They crossed the Gobi Desert like nomads in the winter and moved south and returned north in the summer. Although they established the tribe, they still belonged to the Northern Wei and Xianbei and contributed to them with skins and horses.

Heroism and the "tribal meeting"

After Mugulü's death, Yujiulü Cheluhui, noted for being heroic and vigorous, created a tribal confederation, whose self-name was "Rouran", later derisively changed to "Ruru" ~ "Ruanruan" by Emperor Taiwu of Northern Wei, who considered them ignorant and worm-like in appearance. The Yujiulü family began to have a group of people, self-commanding and self-proclaimed Rouran. Later, he would be succeeded by his son, Tunugui.
