Yujiulü Cheluhui () was ruler and tribal chief of the Rourans.
He succeeded his father Mugulü as tribal chief.Grousset (1970), pp. 61, 585, n. 91. His government was marked by nomadism and peace.
Government
Migration and peace Yujiulü Cheluhui gathered his Rouran subordinates. During his reign, the Rourans did not fight and wandered peacefully. They crossed the Gobi Desert like nomads in the winter and moved south and returned north in the summer. Although they established the tribe, they still belonged to the Northern Wei and Xianbei and contributed to them with skins and horses.Weishu, vol. 103 "車鹿會既為部帥，歲貢馬畜、貂豽皮，冬則徙度漠南，夏則還居漠北。"Cheluhui, since made tribal chief, every year tributed domesticated horses and skins of martens and seals. In winter, they [Rourans] moved southwards across desert; in summer they returned to dwell north of the desert."
Heroism and the "tribal meeting" After Mugulü's death, Yujiulü Cheluhui, noted for being heroic and vigorous, created a tribal confederation, whose self-name was "Rouran", later derisively changed to "Ruru" ~ "Ruanruan" by Emperor Taiwu of Northern Wei, who considered them ignorant and worm-like in appearance. The Yujiulü family began to have a group of people, self-commanding and self-proclaimed Rouran. Later, he would be succeeded by his son, Tunugui.Weishu, vol. 103 "車鹿會死，子吐奴傀立" See also
