Durban Huhats

The ethnonym dөrvөn hүүkhed from Mongolian is translated as "four children." The founders of the Durban-Khukhet family are the four sons of Noyantsin, a descendant of Khasar , the brother of Genghis Khan . In China, the Durban Huhats are known as Syzzivan , which means “four princes” in Chinese .

The ancestor of the Durban-Khukhet Noyantsin - a descendant of Khasar in the 14th generation - had four sons: Sengge, Sonobu, Emubu and Irzham. At the beginning of the XVII century they wandered in the area of ​​modern Hulun-Buir . Having sworn allegiance to the Manchu state of Late Jin , they began to take part in his campaigns against the Chakhar Ligden Khan , and gradually their nomads moved west until they reached the territories of the modern Hoshun Sytszivan (Four Princes), which were named after these four brothers ^{[1] [2]} . In 1636 , the Manchu emperor granted Emubu power over these lands for his services to the empire, and in 1649 he awarded the hereditary title of “specific prince Dolo” ( Chinese trad.多 羅 郡王, ex.多 罗 郡王, pinyin : Duōluō jùnwáng , pall .: Dolo-junwan ).

After the Xinhai Revolution, these lands became part of the Suyuan Special Administrative Region, which became Suyuan Province after 1928 . In 1954 , Suiyuan Province was disbanded, and the khoshun Syzzivan became part of the aimak Ulanchab of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Currently, Durban Khukhet live in the territory of the khoshun Syzzivan aimak Ulanchab of Inner Mongolia .
