The formation of large dispersion is characterized by small sedimentation. At present, Xiuyan, Fengcheng, Xinbin, Qinglong, Fengning and other Manchu autonomous counties and several Manchu townships have been established in major inhabited areas. In 2000, the Manchu population was1068,000. Early civilization in history of manchu.
Manchu is one of the oldest ethnic groups in China, and it is also the only ethnic group that established the Central Plains Dynasty twice in the history of China. Manchu has a long history, and its origin can be traced back to the newly opened Su Shen culture [and tea culture] about 6000-7000 years ago.
In the 22nd century BC, the center of Su Shen civilization was Xi Du (now Changchun City, Jilin Province), where the second generation royal family of the early Su Shen Kingdom began to build adobe walls and palaces, with a population of about 1000. Chinese archaeologists believe that the primitive social site of Ying Ge Ridge at the southern end of Jingbo Lake in Ning 'an City, Heilongjiang Province is about 3000 years ago, which is equivalent to the Western Zhou Dynasty and should be regarded as a cultural relic of Su Shen.
Many stone tools and pottery were unearthed, including pottery pigs, dogs and bears. Pig breeding shows that ancient ethnic tribes have lived a relatively stable primitive life based on primitive agriculture and fishing and hunting. Pottery pig, dog and bear were buried in the tomb as funerary objects, which is a powerful proof of the soul worship of the deceased. "
Su Shen, the ancestor of Manchu, has been recorded in historical books since Shunyu in the 22nd century BC. "Shan Hai Jing" says: "There are mountains in the wild that are not salty, and there is a country that hosts gods." "Chronicle of Bamboo Books" records: "Shun Di has been in danger for twenty-five years, so he is cautious (that is, cautious) to come to North Korea to pay tribute to bows and arrows." When Yu Ding was king of Kyushu, he sent envoys to pay tribute, the most famous of which was Ya. Zhou people call it "Su Shen, Yan, Bo, I am from the north", Su Shen Kingdom in Xia, Shang and Zhou BC, Lou in Han and Jin Dynasties, Buji in Northern Wei Dynasty, cymbals in Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Jurchen from Northern Song Dynasty to Ming Dynasty.
Before the Sino-Russian Nebuchadnezzar Chu Treaty (1689), all the territories in the northeast of Manchu belonged to the Manchu ancestors (Sushen clan). The earliest record of Manchu ancestors' communication with the Central Plains in history books can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty. In Zhou Wuwang, Su Shenren contributed to the "luxury of opening stones". When he became king, Su Shen sent envoys to pay tribute. The king ordered Rong Bo, the minister, to live a life of bribery and caution.
