The Fufuluo were the clan that led the Gaoche out of the Rouran khaganate. The Wei Shu counts twelve clans of the Gaoche and ranks the Fufuluo tenth.[1] The clan had been subject to the Rouran. In the time of the Rouran khan Tulun, its chief Afuzhiluo and his cousin Qiongqi together led more than a hundred thousand tents of Gaoche. In 487 they revolted and went west. They made themselves rulers north-west of Gaochang, in what became the Gaoche state.[1] The secession belongs to the history of the Tiele under Rouran rule.
The Gaoche killed Afuzhiluo and set up his clansman Baliyan. A year or so later the Hephthalites brought Qiongqi’s son Mi’etu. The people killed Baliyan, and Mi’etu became king.[1] The Rouran khan Chounu then dragged Mi’etu to death. His brother Yifu returned from the Hephthalites and received the title of king of Gaoche from the Wei.[1] Another brother, Yueju, killed Yifu and took the throne. Yifu’s son Bishi killed Yueju in turn.[1]
One passage attaches the clan name to a later king. In the fourth month of 541 the annals of the Eastern Wei record the submission of the lord of the Azhiluo country, “Fufuluo Yueju’s son Qubin”, whom the Wei made king of Gaoche.[2] Qubin had come over from the Rouran. He died of illness soon after.[1] Qiongqi’s line held the throne from Mi’etu to Qubin, and the annals give that line the clan name Fufuluo. Therefore the Fufuluo stand behind the Gaoche kingship from Afuzhiluo’s rising to Qubin.
