[Da Qian Dynasty's Proclamation Against the Xiongnu]

```

The Xiongnu, a tribe that has lived in the barren lands of the Western Regions for generations, sustaining themselves on dung and foul meats, are of the lowest status, utter dregs of society. Ever since our forefather founded the nation and established dominion over the world, the Xiongnu have always bowed and scraped, fawning and seeking favor, annually offering lambs and cattle to win the favor of our King, all because our Emperor's heart is kind, considering their struggle to live. With aid from time to time, they have been able to survive. For thousands of years, generation after generation has received the Emperor's grace, becoming stronger and claiming a human life through the charity of the Imperial Court.
