Genghis Khan, whose name is Tie Muzhen ( 铁木真 ) , was born in Dadale. When he was born, his father had just defeated the Tatars ( 塔塔尔 ) . To memorize this victory, his father named him Tie Muzhen.

When Tie Muzhen was 9 years old, his father was poisoned by the Tatar nationality. As a result, the Boerzhiji clan ( 孛儿只斤氏族 ) lost their leader, and the clansman dispersed one after another. The family had to make their livings by fishing and picking wild fruits. Still, some forces like Taiyichiwu didn't let them pass, and they were afraid that when the Tie Muzhen brothers grew up, they would revive their family force, and that would be a threat to their status and interests. Thus, they sent arms to capture Tie Muzhen, and wanted to "cut the weeds and dig up the roots" ( 斩草除根 ) and put an end to the future trouble. Fortunately, Tie Muzhen was saved by a kind-hearted man, and escaped from danger. In such difficult and dangerous environment, Tie Muzhen's family had endured all hardships, but at the same time, his willpower was tempered, and his brave and fearless spirit in fighting was cultivated. The adamant mother Keelun always told Tie Muzhen brothers the importance of tenacity and diligence, and let them know the truth that "Solidarity is force" ( 团结就是力量 ) . Thus, Tie Muzhen made up his mind that he would avenge his father. Later, with the help of his father's sworn brother Wang Han ( 王汗 ) , he gathered his men, accumulated his forces and started his carving out process.

In 1185, he defeated Mieerqi. In 1189, he was elected as Khan ( 可汗 ) by the noble class of Qiyan family. After that, he spent more than ten years on expedition; in 1205, he finally united the whole Mongolian Grassland. In 1206, all the clans of Mongol held a Huliletai in the riverhead of Hunan River , and Tie Muzhen was elected as Khan of the whole Mongols. He was called Genghis Khan ( 成吉思汗 ) , who set up the Mongolian Nation.

Then, on one hand, Genghis Khan began to constitute the systems in politics, laws and taxes, and established the organs of the nation; on the other hand, he also deployed large-ranged operations, and fought westward and southward. From 1207 to 1227, he was engaged in wars, and destroyed Xiliao, Hualazimo, and Western Xia dynasty. He also defeated Jin's army and seized hold of its capital Zhongdu ( 中都 ) .

In 1227, he died of illness on the way to fighting against Western Xia dynasty, at the age of 66. In the second year of Yuan Wuzong's reign (1309), he was again given the posthumous title of honor of "Taizu". ( 元太祖 )

As a great politician and militarist, Genghis Khan went with the tide of social development and satisfied people's desire for peace. He unified the whole Mongol grassland, and set up a powerful Mongol nation. He also constituted some effective systems of politics, economy, culture and military affairs. The Mongol grassland was no longer in chaos and the people there no longer live in dire poverty, which accelerated the formation and development of the Mongol nationality, and laid a foundation for Kublai Khan's final unification of the whole country. His life was spent on horsebacks and in wars. The scale of his foreign war, the distance of his expedition journey and the vastness of the area he seized are all unprecedented in history, which has also shocked the whole world.

His expedition towards the west also brought great disasters to the people of those countries, and obstructed the development of local society and thus the war was not righteous. However, it also has some positive influence on the opening of the traffic way between east and west, and facilitated the communications between eastern and western culture and economy. After his expedition towards the west, the ancient China's four great inventions (the compass 指南针 , gunpowder 火药 , paper-making 造纸 and printing 印刷 ) were brought to Europe, which became an impulse to the development of the European economy. The Arabian calendar system was also introduced to China , which speeded up the prosperity of our culture and economy.
