Ghengis Khan

Sorry everyone, but posters here have no clues of what historical perspective is! You are thinking like nationalist pricks with a 20th Century brain

First Chinese people have been ruled by lots of non-Han people (Turkic, Mongol, Manchu). Same thing for other peoples (European, Indian, etc.). For example, Western Europe was populated by some original tribes (like the Basque people), then the Celts came, then the Roman came and ruled, then the Germanics invaded, then the Vikings, then the Slavics, etc. This mixture created the French, the Brittish, the Germans, the Polish, etc. Would you say that Charlemagne is a French or a German king? It is a Frankish/Germanic ruler who reigned over Celts, Romans, etc. His empire has been divided according to languages (Old French in the West and Old German in the East) and was at the origins of France and Germany. But both the French and the German are proud of him!

Chinese people are proud of Gengis Khan as Turkic people are. All Turkic leaders like Timur Lang or the Indian Moghuls have said that they are direct descendants from Gengis Khan who is a Mongol! The genius of Chinese civilisation is that it can swallow any foreing rulers: the Yuan kings became more Chinese than the Chinese were!

"1. Ethnicaly being a non-Chinese

2. Launching several devastating invasions into China

3. Killing perhaps millions of Chinese lifes"

While I have no disagreement for Genghis not been a Chinese let alone a hero, but your argument is lousy, ethnicity is unimportant, many conquerers in the past killed people including their own ethnicity and raids are common among themselves too, mongols raided other mongols often in history.

"But that is like saying, since the yuan rulers were mongol and since mongols once ruled russia, the Russian Empire is actually a CHinese one. "

No, because the Yuan never ruled Russia, the golden horde did.

No, he only defeated the Jin (but didn't subjugate it) and the Xixia (was destroyed completely after his death), he never conquered China, he wasn't on bad terms with the Southern Song either.

Europe? What are you talking about? He never campaigned in Europe either, only two of his generals made a reconaissance mission in Southeastern Russia. Are you confusing Batu Khan's Eastern European Campaign of 1240 with Sube'etai Ba'atur and Jebe Noyan's Mission of the 1220s?

And nope, the Great Wall wasn't built because of the Mongolian army. It was first built by the northern Chinese warring states for two reasons: to keep the other states away and to prevent the Hu in the north from raiding themselves. Later, Qin Shihuangdi united all the existing fortifications as a defence against the Xiongnu.

Gubuk, Mongolian culture preserved better than in Mongolia(we called the Outer Mongolia). Please read another topic thread I posted in this forum .

If white men can worship a Middle Easterner as savior of their souls,

If Europeans can praise the Roman Empire that wiped out their native cultures, then the Chinese can say "Ghengis Khan's an awesome guy"

Mongolia still too.

"Ghengis is altogether another history, the guy was an invader in china and a very cruel one at it. Now saying he is a chinese hero is at most very strange. "

My point was to Gubukjanggoon that been a foreigner doesn't they can't be the nations hero if you didn't notice.
