Abstract This chapter probes those vestiges of the Xiongnu Empire that lived on in the culture, politics, and folklore of Eastern Eurasia. Archaeological remains exhibit straggling adherences to materials and practices of Xiongnu political culture, while historical accounts demonstrate the use of the Xiongnu name and its affiliated institutions in subsequent regimes established by groups from Inner Asia. Last, the chapter provides an overview of the longer history of Asia to demonstrate the persistent potency of the model of empire formulated by the Xiongnu and of the primacy of the Xiongnu legacy in literature and folk tales, just as in diplomacy and policy.
