But as time goes on, this nation is mentioned less and less in our history textbooks. They seem to begin to disappear slowly, even finally, so why do they disappear in the long river of history? What is the real reason for their disappearance?
In the earliest Qin and Han dynasties, Xiongnu was the most powerful nomadic people at that time. According to historical records, they are the adherents of Xia Dynasty, the earliest dynasty in ancient China. This can be found in historical records? Textual research on biographies of Xiongnu. Thanks to their ancient ancestors, the people of this country are strong and brave.
But because they belong to nomadic people, they didn't have their own place in the Central Plains for a long time, so they want to strive for a good geographical position to develop themselves. So all kinds of provocations were launched, which led to war. Since the Qin Dynasty, there have been constant frictions and wars between the Central Plains and Xiongnu.
The real large-scale struggle between the Central Plains people and the Huns took place in the Han Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty, from the founding emperor Liu Bang, there were great and small struggles with the Huns. By the time of Emperor Liu Che, it was possible to defeat the Huns on the battlefield.
In 5 1 year BC, Uhaanyehe, the leader of Xiongnu, went south to take refuge in the Han Dynasty because he was defeated by the Han army on the battlefield. In 33 BC, the Han Dynasty married Wang Zhaojun to Uhaanyehe, and the relationship between the two sides began to ease.
By 89 BC, Xiongnu suffered more and more defeats on the battlefield. Because they are nomadic people themselves and have no fixed place to live. So they started moving west. By this time, the Northern Xiongnu had completely disappeared from China's ancient history books without any trace.
Until the sui dynasty, after the unification of the central plains. There is no sign of Xiongnu in the book. This ancient nation disappeared in the long history of China.
