- Jinong
Jinong ( _mn. Жонон) was a title of the
Mongols . It was derived from Chinese "Jinwang" (Traditional Chinese: 晉王;pinyin : jìn wáng; lit. King of Jin) although some historians have suggested it originates from "Qinwang" (Traditional Chinese: 親王;pinyin : qīn wáng; lit. Prince). Forgetting its origins, the Mongol title was rendered in Chinese as "jinong" (Traditional Chinese: 濟農;pinyin : jǐ nóng) or "jinang" (Traditional Chinese:吉囊;pinyin : jí náng).The title of Jinong was first given to
Kamala , a grandson ofKhubilai Khan in 1292. He served the mausoleum of Genghis Khan ("naiman chaghaan ger"; Mongolian: Найман Цагаан Гэр; lit. eight white houses). Those who served to the mausolem was called theOrdus and Jinong came to mean the highest priest of the portable mausoleum. The Ordus lived on theKerulen river but later moved to the area now known as Ordos.After
Dayan Khan , whose father was the Jinong, unifiedMongolia , his descendants assumed the position until 1949. During theQing Dynasty the Jinong also served as the chief of the Yeke Juu League ( _mn. Их Зуу Чуулга) or a banner in it.ee also
