Ashina Nishufu

Ashina Nishufu was a member of the Ashina family. He revolted against the Tang dynasty following the fall of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate.

Revolt
In 679, Ashide Wenfu and Ashide Fengzhi, who were Turkic leaders of the Chanyu Protectorate, declared Ashina Nishufu as qaghan and revolted against the Tang dynasty. In 680, Pei Xingjian defeated Ashina Nishufu. Ashina Nishufu was killed by his men. ==Etymology==
Etymology
His name combines two titles: the first 泥熟 (EMCh: *niei-źiuk) < nīžuk, possibly identifiable with nezak, a non-Turkic title of unknown etymology, formerly used by Hephthalites and later adopted and re-used by the Turks; the second 匐 (MC: *bək̚) transcribes Turkic bäg. ==References==
