First, the origin of ethnic minorities In China, from the beginning of historical records, nomadic people from the north invaded the Central Plains. So how did these nomads come from? In fact, as early as the third generation, there appeared a tribe called Gourong in the Rong nationality, which was the same clan as Xirong in the Chinese nation. It was the dog that destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty. Later, the tribe was expelled to the north and merged with the tribal peoples in the north, so the Huns were formed in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Second, the relationship between ethnic minorities Xiongnu was divided into Xianbei and Rouran in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Rouran was the ancestor of Qidan, so Qidan was related to Xiongnu, and Qidan was the descendant of Xiongnu. When Xiongnu appeared, there was a Wei clan, which some people thought was actually a part of Xiongnu. Later, Wei formed Mongolia in the early Five Dynasties. Shi Weiren had previously inferred that he was a Su Shenren. Through the continuous development of history, Su Shenren merged with other ethnic groups many times, so it developed into a cymbal in the Tang Dynasty and a Jurchen in the Song Dynasty.
Third, the historical significance of ethnic minorities To sum up, the birth and rise and fall of ethnic minorities in China have a great relationship with the strength of the Central Plains regime, and at the same time are affected by the geographical environment, so the rise and fall of each ethnic group is different. The continuous invasion of ethnic minorities, to a certain extent, promoted the continuous development of the Central Plains military, improved the comprehensive strength of the country, and promoted the integration and progress of economy and culture.
