Chunwei
Chunwei () is an ethnonym for the most ancient nomadic tribes that invaded China during legendary times. A Chinese Classical scholar and the first President of the Imperial Nanking University, Wei Zhao (204–273), commented, identificating the name Chunwei with the name of the Huns: “During the Han (206 BC-220 AD) they (the Huns) were called Xiongnu 匈奴, and the Hunyu 葷粥 is just another name for the same people, and similarly, the Xunyu 獯粥 is just another transcription of Chunwei’s 淳維, their ancestor’s name”.〔Wei Zhao et al., ''"Book of Wu"'', p. 2849〕〔Lin Gan 林幹, ''"Xiongnu shiliao huibian 匈奴史料彙編"'', Vol. 1, p. 1, Beijing, Zhonghua Shuju, 1988〕
==Etymology==
Considering that in the Yin age (殷, 1401-1122 BC) there was a northern dialect of the word ''chunwei'' 淳維 corresponding to ''xunyu'' 獯粥, it is concluded that the two varieties cover the same name. Katalin Csornai stated a concept that ''chunwei'' 淳維, ''xunyu'' 獯粥 and ''xiongnu'' 匈奴 should once have been the same name in different languages or dialects. For this reason Ying Shao (應劭, ''Hou Han Shu'' commentator, 195 AD) wrote in ''Fengsutung'' (Ying Shao, ''The Meaning of Popular Customs'', AD 140-206): “The name ''Xunyu'' 獯粥 of the Yin age has been transformed to ''Xiongnu'' 匈奴”.〔Csornai K., ''"Where Huns Blood Drew"'', Journal of Eurasian studies, Vol. 1, Issue 3, p. 31, 2009, Hague, Holland, ISSN 1877-4199〕 And according to the records of Sima Qian, the ''Xiongnu'' 匈奴 were mentioned as ''Shanrong'' 山戎, Xianyun 獫狁, and Hunyu 葷粥 between the age of Tang and the age of Yu (2205-1766 BC).〔Sima Qian et al., ''"Records of the Grand Historian"'', Ch. 110〕
