Around the 3rd century BC, the Huns stepped onto the stage of history. At this time, it was the period of transition from primitive clan society to slavery society, and there were still many remnants of various customs and habits of clan society. The custom of steaming mother (although not biological mother) and reporting sister-in-law is one of them.
They believe that women who marry into their own clan are still clan-to-clan, not person-to-person. When a woman marries into her husband's family, she is not only a member of the husband's family, but also a member of the husband's clan. If the wife remarries after the death of the husband, she will not only leave the husband's family, but also the husband's clan.
In order to keep them in their own clan, their sons or brothers inherit their marital relations except for their biological mothers, so that they cannot leave the clan community of their husband's family and act individually. For example, in 31 B.C. (the first two years of Emperor Cheng), Hu Han Evil Shan died, and his son carved Tao Mo Gao succeeded to the throne as Fu Zhu Ti Shan Yu, and his wife was followed by his mother Wang Zhaojun. Later Han Shu Southern Xiongnu Preaching:
And Hu Han evil died, the former Yan clan descendants established, wanted a wife, Zhaojun wrote to ask for return, Emperor Cheng ordered from the Hu custom, and then reverted to the Hou Shan Yu Yan Yan. ”
In the marriage relationship of the Xiongnu people, in addition to the custom of "wife and stepmother, widow and sister-in-law", there is also a kind of marriage relationship, that is, "harmony". Da Shan Yu used his beloved women and daughters as a political and diplomatic means to win over forces that are beneficial to the development and consolidation of his own nation, so that they can be used by me. For example, during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Xin, the Marquis of Han (xi, Yinxi), (the Xiongnu king who was originally attached to the Han Dynasty) surrendered to the Xiongnu, because he had been in the Han Dynasty for a long time and was familiar with the military and political situation of the Han Dynasty.
These marriage phenomena continued until the beginning of the 4th century AD. The northern nomads since the Xiongnu also have this custom.

The Han Dynasty married the princess to Shan Yu, and gave a large number of silk, grain, wine and other things every year, about brothers, trying to soften the Xiongnu, but the Xiongnu were more arrogant. All the nations that have been civilized later will be respected by the powerful, and only interests are the goal, and whoever has a strong fist will obey whom, and will not be convinced, the strong will take advantage, and the weak will consider themselves unlucky. The customs of the Xiongnu, the young and the strong and the old and the weak, the strong eat fat and beautiful, and the old eat the rest, although it is not as cruel as the Japanese to carry the old father and mother to the mountains to starve to death, but in the eyes of the Han people, it is also barbaric.
The Huns had no writing and relied on verbal restraint. The captives taken during the war were used as slaves and maids, and the soldiers were quite brave in battle. The Xiongnu lagged behind Middle-earth economically, and regarded the Han policy of peace and proximity as a sign of weakness, so they still often plundered on the border.
