The Shatuo, also known as the Satuk, are an integral part of Chinese history reigning from the 5th to 10th centuries. Originating from the steppe lands of Mongolia, they gradually migrated to Northern China and played a significant role in shaping the politics and dynasties of the time. Although Turkic in origin, they were heavily sinicized over time, adopting the norms, culture, and language of the Chinese.
The Shatuo became particularly influential during the Tang Dynasty, rising to power and prominence due to their military prowess. They not only provided critical support to the ruling dynasty in suppressing rebellions but also established their own dynasties such as the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou, all of which played a vital part in the historical transition from the Tang to the Song Dynasty.
In terms of culture, the Shatuo combined their Turkic traditions with Chinese influences. While maintaining their pastoral nomadic lifestyle, they gradually embraced the advanced agricultural practices, administration, and cultural sophistication of the Chinese. They also facilitated significant economic and cultural exchange between China and the steppe region.
Even today, the influence of the Shatuo can be seen in China's northern regions, with their history contributing to the rich tapestry that makes up China's diverse culture.
This culture considers conflict and violence to be necessary states of existence; ingrained in its people is the idea that one should stand up and fight for their own.
