About This Novel

"Rouran: The Blood Epic of the Prairie Wolf Clan" focuses on the Rouran Khanate, which was active in the northern grasslands from the 4th to the 6th century AD, and tells the two-hundred-year history of the rise and fall of this nomadic tribe with the wolf as its totem. Starting from the escape of the slave Mugulu and the founding of the country, Rouran rose to prominence by innovating cavalry tactics with double stirrups. During the period of Shelun Khan, he established hegemony across Mobei and intimidated the Northern Wei Dynasty with military power such as the "Thousand Man Army". The book not only shows its iron-blooded characteristics - the legend of the young master who survived on wolf milk in the wolf's den, and the deterrent power of the wolf-head flag, but also reveals the struggle of civilization transformation: Yucheng Khan's implementation of Chinese reforms shook the foundation of the tribe, the ugly slave Khan went crazy with blood sacrifices to maintain power, and the human tragedy of the Hou Luling family poisoning their parents and children in order to seize power. Through the confrontation between Rouran and the Northern Wei Dynasty and the changes with the Turks, the author reveals the fate of the nomadic empire in the game of technology and civilization. When Anayu met the fate of the Turkic Iron Sword, Rouran disappeared, but his survival epic with wolf nature as the soul still left a profound footnote for the interpretation of the collision between nomadic and agricultural civilizations. The book uses concise writing to allow the tribe that was once derogatoryly called "Cruel" to regain its rich history in the tempering of blood and fire.
