King Yalu is from that dynasty

Background: King Yalu is the same person as Yang Lu and Toa Lu, and Yalu is not a family name but an ancestor. Yalu King" is the same person as "Yang Lu" and "Ya Lu", and "Ya", "Yang" and "Ya" are not surnames, but meanings of ancestors. 26,000 lines of "King Yalu" heroic epic were found in Ziyun County, Guizhou Province in 2009, which is an extremely complete song. King Yalu describes how the Miao tribes used to live in the east during the pre-Qin period more than 2,000 years ago, and that during the tribal wars, King Yalu led the Miao people on a sad and tragic campaign, and then migrated to the Guizhou plateau with great difficulty after their defeat. Each of the 17 generations of kings before King Yalu is briefly described in about 300 lines, and the epic focuses on two major battles. King Yalu, the 18th king of this Hmong tribe, was a Hmong chieftain with divine qualities. He was sent to other tribes as a merchant from a young age to receive all kinds of skills and cultures that a Hmong king should have, and gradually grew up to be a wizard who was well versed in sorcery and its embedded knowledge of astronomy, geography, smelting, and so on. In life, he enjoyed royal treatment that ordinary Miao people could not possibly enjoy, and he had seven wives and dozens of sons. Fourteen of his sons inherited his valor and fought with him all their lives. This description is the most faithful record of their history by the historically unwritten Hmong. The epic involves more than 400 ancient Hmong place names and more than 20 ancient battlefields. This is the most precious history that lives in the hearts of the Miao people. It preserves a large number of ancient words and phrases that have disappeared in today's Hmong language. Heroes like King Yalu, with royal blood, temperament and ability, created many fabulous victories with superhuman bravery and wisdom in bloody battles with tribes and foreigners, but King Yalu was not able to escape from his predecessors' "creation - war - defeat - migration". But King Yalu could not get rid of the tragic fate of his predecessors, "creation - war - defeat - migration". When they first arrived in Guizhou, used to live in relatively good natural conditions in Guiyang, Anshun and other places, but after the defeat, only led his subordinates to move to Guizhou Ma Shan, such as arable land is extremely scarce, lack of water in the rocky mountainous areas, which is a long and arduous process. There are 25 townships and 180,000 people in Mashan area, and the singers who can sing "King Yalu" have about four or five people in each village, and the total number of singers reaches about 3,000 according to the local estimation. The chanting of "King Yalu" is extremely solemn. Prior to the recitation, singers from the deceased's family, a village, or even a geographical area come to perform a ceremony. The singers wear traditional long shirts and "winter hats" decorated with red "lion's hair. A singer's chanting is scrutinized by all the singers, and if there is a major mistake in the chanting, the singer's qualification will be canceled on the spot. This sacred and strict ancient rules of chanting makes the inheritance of "King Yalu" complete through several generations, and at the same time, it also makes the inheritance of "King Yalu" greatly restricted. In the past, the chanting of the Yalu King could last for several days and nights, but with the simplification of modern funeral rituals, it is now mostly sung for only one night. At funerals where the "King Yaru" is sung, there is a thrilling custom of "cutting the horse," which is now rare. After performing the elegant and solemn ceremony, the horse cutter would sacrifice the horse and cut it to death one by one, which could not be done in one go, and the process lasted for half an hour. Ancestral spirit of the copper drum, has been roaring the sound of the drum of pathos, until the horse body was cut to the blood of the tragic collapse. The sacred sound of the drum accompanies the horse as it ascends to heaven, and the sunburst pattern in the center of the drum is struck brightly. It is said that the cutting of the horse was to remind future generations that King Yalu had been tested by death in all his battles, just like this heroic and suffering war horse. That brutal and bloody scene is enough to be etched in one's memory.
