The history of Inner Mongolia has traditionally been told as a story of two ethnic groups, Mongols and Han Chinese. How these two ethnic groups, one mostly herding and the other mostly farming, used the land in different ways and engaged in cooperation and conflict has been the central narrative line of Inner Mongolian history. Yet this ethnic dualism of Han and Mongol is not the whole story of Inner Mongolia. Even in recent centuries, other ethnic groups, such as Manchus, Ewenkis, Hui, and Koreans have played certain roles. And before the rise of the Mongol empire and its unification of the Mongolian plateau, the ethnic diversity was much greater. Many of the terms used in Inner Mongolia before the Mongol conquest are still obscure, giving the historians of this area and era great difficulty. As part of my work on the Shengwu qinzheng lu I have attempted to analyze many of these terms, which I hope to discuss in my commentary on that work. In this paper, dedicated to the great Inner Mongolian scholar Čoyiǰi, I would like to shed light on a few terms, focusing on ones which did not appear in the Shengwu qinzheng lu, and hence will not be discussed in my commentary there.
