Shanyue is a tribe resident in southern China during Han Dynasty.

Since the Southern part of China is not yet controlled by the Han ethnicity (the Han court only claims the ownership of the lands, but lacks the power to control them in reality), the Shanyue people conduct regular raids against Han citizens to gather living essentials.

The tribe becomes powerful during the Eastern Han and the period of the end of the Eastern Han, but is absorbed into Han culture after the Sun family establishes a strong local government on Jiangdong.
