Jucheer
Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu from 147 to 172
Jucheer (居車兒) was a Xiongnu of unknown relationship to the royal dynastic lineage who succeeded Doulouchu as chanyu in 147 AD. In 166 AD, Jucheer joined the Xianbei and Wuhuan in raiding Han territory. When the Wuhuan and Xiongnu were confronted by Han forces they immediately surrendered. Zhang Huan wanted to have Jucheer dismissed, but Emperor Huan of Han was unwilling to remove an established ruler and deemed Jucheer to be an innocent party forced into rebellion. Jucheer died in 172 AD and was succeeded by his son Tute Ruoshi Zhujiu.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jucheer” as chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu from 147 to 172. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu from 147 to 172. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2512613. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1989, 1851, 1950 and 2007.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
