Tuqi

Tuqi

Tuqi (Zh-cpw|c=屠耆王|p=Túqí wáng|w=T'uch'i wang) was a high office in the Xiongnu confederation. The title also known to Chinese as "worthy/wise prince/king" ("Xian wang", 贤王).Chen (1999), p. 237-277] Ma (2005), p. 397-411]

Tuqi was the highest Xiongnu prince below the chanyu; they were crown prince from the royal clan of Luanti. There were two titles, each of them a commander-in-chief who derived his power from the eastern and western territories respectively, serving as two wings beside the chanyu's main tribe. Their titles literally mean the "Worthy Prince of the Left (East)" and "Worthy Prince of the Right (West)". This is due to that the northernly nomads mainly raids south, with their left side to the eastern direction and the right side to the west.
