In my opinion, China people's appellations of different ethnic groups have changed and tend to use better words, but this is because of respect. But in the past, appellation had a lot to do with the prosperity of the nation! There were Na Man, Bian Man and Qiang Man in the early Han nationality. Without exception, these appellations are based on the animal's character, or some people's appellations have no animal's character, so a word is added before or after them. For example, at that time, the dog Rong was originally called Rong, but later it was deeply added. Dogs? Words.
The Han dynasty was relatively strong, and the appellations of different nationalities changed slightly, which raised the status of different nationalities a little. Actually, it's hard to say, just classify them as? People? This kind. I'm sure you all know? Five random China? what's up Hu? How to write words? ? Hu? Characters, like the radicals of body organs, are all beside the moon, so? Hu? This word can be interpreted as the drooping meat of cattle, from which we can draw a conclusion? Hu? Words are not used to describe people. What about Xianbei people at that time? Humble? Chinese characters can reflect the attitude of the Han nationality towards different nationalities!
After the Tang Dynasty, different nationalities called by going up one flight of stairs, but this was not because of the weakness of the Tang Dynasty, but because the Tang Dynasty attached importance to the culture of the Central Plains and initially constructed the track of the development of the Central Plains civilization. They want to publicize the state of Chinese etiquette, so it's much better to call foreigners. For example, Khitan, Mongolia and Jurchen were all neutral words at that time, which also reflected the enlightened attitude of the Tang Dynasty.
Later, different ethnic groups became more and more powerful, and all the Chinese characters with better meanings were taken away. For example, the United States, Britain and France. At that time, the Great Qing Dynasty did not dare to compete with it, so these words also reflected the weakness of the Great Qing Dynasty. Therefore, people in China are calling different nationalities better and better, which shows that people in China are getting weaker and weaker, except now.
