Mr. Erju, his ancestors were the Khitan Hu tribe, Shiju Erzhu Chuan, so Erzhu was the surname. There are two theories about Mr. Erju's life. One theory is that he was the Erzhu referred to by Qian Xiu, who lived before the Jin Dynasty and has no way to verify. Another theory believes that he is Erzhu in the Mengshu period of the fifth dynasty in the late Tang Dynasty, with a famous cave, a micro character, and a return to Yuanzi.
