Tuoba Shiyijian (Chinese: 拓跋什翼犍; pinyin: Tuòbá Shíyìjiàn) (320-376) was the last prince of the Tuoba Dai and ruled from 338 to 376 when Dai was conquered by the Former Qin. He was the son of Tuoba Yulü (拓跋鬱律) and the younger brother of Tuoba Yihuai (拓跋翳槐), whom he succeeded in 338. In 340 he moved the capital to Shengle (盛樂) (near modern Holingol county (和林格爾) of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia). His grandson Tuoba Gui would go on to found the Northern Wei Dynasty.

  1. ^ However, see Emperor Daowu of Northern Wei for problems with placing Tuoba Shi as a son of Tuoba Shiyijian. It may very well be that Tuoba Gui (Emperor Daowu) was a son of Tuoba Shiyijian, not a grandson (through Tuoba Shi).
