Abstract:The viewpoint that Hsiung-Nuhad migrated to Europe seemed to be proposed by the French scholar Joseph De Guignes at 18th century by his long time research upon Chinese ancient sources.But this viewpoint has weakness in its demonstration,especially,no one can explain where should Hsiung-Nuescape after they failed in the battle of Jinweishan.Since then,there seems to be no trail about their trend.Almost two and fifty hundred years has gone,before the Huns appeared in sight of the eyes of the west historians.So the most important thing for us is to find out what happened to Hsiung-Nuin this period,how they could come through Central Asia,finally, what is the last trail in their westward migration. In this point, we can connect the Huns with Hsiung-Nu by deeply researching in both west and ancient Chinese sources.
Keywords:the westward migration of Hsiung-Nu,Yancai,the Huns
