@Alt_Logos_35@mongolsouth2002@txl263143701@Turkroach67 The book clearly documented their barbarism origin and their desire for transition, from the royal family themselves They documented they’re from north and forbidden their descendants to go back, forbidden them to speak old language, etc
@Alt_Logos_35@mongolsouth2002@txl263143701@Turkroach67 Nah we never fooled by them. By any means Chinese will tell u they’re Xianbei they’re just super wanted to be Han no matter how hard they try. Their descendants succeeded anyway. While u guys like to believe in conspiracies without any proof, such as a monk
@Alt_Logos_35@txl263143701@Turkroach67 Even the Yang, their biggest political rivals and longtime acquaintances, never attacked them over this, coz it’s stupid. Yet you choose to believe a random monk with no known connection to the imperial court kinda like listening to anti-mainland conspiracy Taiwan podcast
@Alt_Logos_35@txl263143701@Turkroach67 What’s so important about that? Fa Lin was literally just a monk with no political position or official role, speaking in the context of a dispute. This was early Tang, before Xuanzang had even travelled to India, when Buddhism was simply one of several major religious traditions
@Alt_Logos_35@txl263143701@Turkroach67 1. Fa Lin was just a monk of nowhere
2. Actually“China”/“Sina” was associated with Khitan (契丹). It had nothing to do with the Han, but Central Asians and Russians used names like that anyway. 3. Yeah, we all know the Wei royals super wanted to be Han but they’re not
@Alt_Logos_35@txl263143701@Turkroach67 Indeed a lot of Xianbei changed family to Han names like Liu, Yuan, Lu, etc. so he got an attacking point but it’s fake. and since their has strong Tuoba Xianbei blood line so many just like laugh at their face call them brats and this monk decide to fabric their father side too
@Alt_Logos_35@txl263143701@Turkroach67 It’s literally a monk from early Tang Dynasty attacked the Li as he’s politically against them without any proof. Even in Xianbei ruled Wei dynasty Li themselves never once claim they're Xianbei and no records that they changed name.
