When was the Han nationality formed?
The Han nationality was formed in 5000 BC.

Around 5000 BC, traces of human activities began to appear in the Yellow River basin. These people are the ancestors of our Han nationality. After time polishing, these earliest people in the Yellow River valley gradually learned to use tools made of stone to hunt and cultivate.

When people have tools, they live in a fixed area, and then gradually form many tribes. After the formation of the tribe, the population increased. Clashes began between tribes in order to compete for territory. At that time, all tribes were distinguished by blood and surname. In 2700 BC, a large-scale war broke out between a tribe named Ji and a tribe named Jiang. The leaders of these two tribes are Huangdi and Yandi respectively.
