Does the Murong family often mentioned in novels really exist?
Speaking of Mr. Murong's surname, it is not difficult to think of Mr. Jin Yong's Murong family, which is also reflected in many other literary works. In fact, the Murong family was not created out of thin air by literary writers, but existed in history.

According to the genealogy, Murong originated from Xianbei and lived in the northeast of China, so it was called "Northeast Yi". At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Xiongnu took the initiative to defeat all ethnic groups in Northeast China and fled everywhere. Later, a Yi nationality in Northeast China moved to Xianbei Mountain in Inner Mongolia and established the "Xianbei Country". When Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty arrived, Xianbei was divided, and the strongest one lived in Murong Temple, so it was renamed Murong. But at that time, "Murong" was just a symbol, and they had no concept of surname.

Later, after development, this nation ushered in a development in Cao Wei. There are two main reasons why this family can rise rapidly under the background of division. First, although the descendants of the Murong family were born tough, they accepted the ideas of the Han people early. For example, all officials in Yan Qian follow the example of Cao Wei, which is relatively advantageous compared with other "conference semifinals". Second, the Murong family met a good opportunity. They have been dormant for many years and met the troubled times of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When they rose, they were not strongly resisted by the Central Plains Dynasty.

Also from Xianbei nationality, Murong was once brilliant, but they didn't go as far as Tuoba. The Murong family was thoroughly liquidated by the Tuoba family, and the Murong people were slaughtered and rebelled in succession. After the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Murong clan was divided and could not be unified, but the descendants of the Murong royal family have been thinking about how to restore the family glory of Dayan in the new year.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, although the descendants of Murong family also wanted to restore the country, it was impossible. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin had a general named Murong Zhaoyan, who was a descendant of the Murong family of "Wuyan". However, Murong Zhaoyan was loyal and conscientious all his life, and showed no signs of rebellion.
