Zhizhi

Zhizhi or Chi-Chi (Chinese: 郅支; pinyin: Zhìzhī; Wade–Giles: Chih4-chih1, from Old Chinese (58 BCE): *tśit-kie < *tit-ke; died 36 BCE), also known as Jzh-jzh, was a chanyu of the Xiongnu Empire at the time of the first Xiongnu civil war, who held the north and west in contention with his younger brother Huhanye who held the south. His original name in Chinese transcription was Luandi Hutuwusi (Chinese: 攣鞮呼屠吾斯; pinyin: Luándī Hūtúwúsī), i.e. one of the Worthy Princes of the East (of the Luandi clan). When Hutuwusi's father, Xulüquanqu Chanyu, died in 60 BCE, power was seized by a distant relative, Woyanqudi. Read more on Wikipedia
