Yilou is the modern Chinese name of a people in 3rd- to 6th-century Manchuria.
In some sources, their name was also written as Sushen, after an earlier people that were traditionally thought to be from the same region. Although it is common to link the Yilou to the earlier Sushen or the later Mohe (and hence to the Jurchens who founded the Jin Dynasty and the Manchus who founded the Qing), such connections remain unclear, and the groups may even be from different regions entirely. Some historians think that the Chinese, having heard that the Yilou paid arrows as tribute, simply linked them with the Sushen based on ancient records recording a similar practice.[1]
The Yilou disappeared from documents in the 6th century. The Mohe rose into power there instead.[2]
