Features: After the Tatar nomadic tribes were pacified, Genghis Khan should have been honored with a title suitable for his new supreme power, and thus bestowed upon him the title of Khagan. At the age of 44, he was given the title of Genghis Khan. In the spring of 1206, he gathered the tribal leaders for a grand assembly near the Onon River, establishing nine white banners. The shaman or soothsayer Kukhukhutai, who often spoke on behalf of the gods and was deeply trusted by the Mongols, solemnly declared to Genghis Khan: ‘The rulers who possessed the titles of Gur Khan and Khagan have already fallen, and it is inappropriate to adopt the same tainted title. Now, under the divine mandate, he is to be called Genghis Khan or the Khan of the Strong.’
This book comprehensively introduces the history of the Mongolian ethnic group, showcasing the glorious achievements of its heroic figures (such as Kublai Khan, Genghis Khan, etc.). The book is well-researched and offers objective analysis, making it a rare and valuable historical source on the Mongolian people.
