 | | Historical records suggest that this man may be Giocangga, who lived in the mid-1500s and whose grandson founded the Qing dynasty, which ruled China from 1644 to 1912. |
 | | The male descendants of Giocangga, like Khan’s sons and grandsons, ruled over vast swathes of land, living a lavish existence with many wives and concubines. |
