, surnamed Borjijin, Mongolian, is the grandson of the son of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Kublai Khan was the last Khan of Mongolia and the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, because he changed his country name from Mongolia to Dayuan when he was in office.

125 1 year, Kublai Khan's half-brother Mongo succeeded to the throne as Khan, and he was made king. In the second year, Kublai Khan attacked Dali. 1254, Dali broke the city, destroyed the country and merged into the territory of Mongolia. Later, Mongo officially announced his attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, and Kublai Khan led the army south in 1258. During the Southern Song War, Mongo died of illness, and Kublai Khan pretended to attack in exchange for reconciliation in the Southern Song Dynasty, so he withdrew his troops and went back.

1260, Kublai Khan became the Great Khan of Mongolia, the fifth generation of Great Khan, and was soon named as "Middle China". Four years later, Kublai Khan changed his title to "Zhiyuan" and soon changed his title to "Dayuan" and became the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. 1274, its capital is Dadu, which is now Beijing.

In 274, Kublai Khan sent an envoy to Japan, which was later withdrawn due to the failure of the typhoon. The following year, the envoys sent to Japan were killed immediately, so in 128 1 year, the Yuan Dynasty began its second conquest. Although it was divided into two ways, it all ended in failure. During the two expeditions to the East, the Yuan army continuously attacked the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally broke Lin 'an City in 1276, and the Southern Song Dynasty surrendered and perished.

1994, Kublai Khan died of illness, and posthumous title Shengde Shen Gong Wu Wen, the emperor named this temple as the ancestor. Because he admired Confucianism since childhood, Kublai Khan attached great importance to China culture. When he was in office, he attached great importance to Han officials and adopted China laws. So although he attacked and conquered many places, his descendants still gave him a good evaluation.

Who is Kublai Khan's father?

Kublai Khan's father was Torre, the fourth son of Genghis Khan and the youngest son of his first wife. "Dad" means mirror in Mongolian. According to Genghis Khan's living will, Torre was later appointed as the state supervisor. In Jin Yong's novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the father and the protagonist became sworn brothers of the opposite sex.

Torre inherited his father Genghis Khan's outstanding leadership and was an outstanding strategist. So dad fought with dad since he was a child. For example, he once attacked Xu Jinguo and occupied many counties there. Genghis Khan's expedition to the west, Torre is also the main force leading the Mongolian army with him. Later, he led an elite army alone, in which all the soldiers were selected by Genghis Khan from all the troops. Dad made great contributions to the neutrality of the Western Expedition, but he also committed a heinous massacre. For example, in Ma Lu, the local governor has surrendered, and Dad lied that he didn't kill anyone. Finally, he slaughtered almost everyone in the city, nearly 700 thousand people.

Torre has the strongest military ability among all sons of Genghis Khan, so he also inherited most of his father's army, which is about 80% of the 6.5438+0.3 million Mongolian army. Even so, he is still not the heir to Khan's post. Genghis Khan appointed his third son, Wokuotai, to succeed Khan. After Genghis Khan's death, some ministers proposed to recommend Torre as Khan, but because his second brother supported Wokuotai, Torre, who made great contributions, was only the regent's supervisor. After that, Torre continued to lead troops to fight, which played a great role in the development of Mongolian territory.

1232, Torre died on his way back to the army at the age of 4 1 year. Some people speculate that he was poisoned by Wokuotai's fear.

What does Kublai Khan's name mean?

Kublai Khan is a Mongolian, so "Kublai Khan" is also a Chinese-English translation of Mongolian names. Originally Mongolian, it means the successor of family business and blood. "Tiger Wall" means to inherit the family business, "Li" means "good man", and some suffixes are similar to English, such as "-er" and "or".

Kublai Khan, there is a Mongolian honorific name "Snow Zen Khan", in which "Snow Zen" means sage and wisdom. Among Mongolians, social appellations and other suffixes are often added to the original name, and "Xue Chanyu" is the suffix of Kublai Khan's original name. For example, Temujin's Genghis Khan is also his Mongolian title, which means "having the four seas", in which "Genghis Khan" means the ocean and the sea.

Because of Mongolian culture and tradition, most of them are named after animals, the sun, the moon, flowers and plants. For example, Kublai Khan's eldest brother Meng Ge, "Meng Ge" means heaven, or their father and father, whose name refers to the mirror, and his grandfather Temujin means hard iron. Of course, naming children after things has another profound meaning, that is, I hope they are as strong as iron, I look in the mirror, and have a broad sky, and so on.

In addition, Mongolian names are often directly the expectations of parents. For example, Batu represents firmness, dark clouds represent wisdom, Qin Si represents intelligence, and Gao Wa represents beauty. So actress Gaowa Siqin's name is that her parents want her to be smart and beautiful.

The name "Kublai Khan" is actually his father's good expectation for him, hoping that he can inherit Great Mongolia.
