Want to know the origin of the Zhuang people, the origin and history of the Zhuang people

The "Xiou" and "Luo Yue" who lived in the Lingnan region recorded in the historical books of the Han nationality in the pre-Qin, Qin and Han dynasties were the most direct ancestors of the Zhuang people.

During the Tang Dynasty, the ancestors of the Zhuang people were still called slang, wing, and Wuhu (Wuwu), but there were also ethnic names named after regions or surnames of large clans, such as "Xiyuan Man", "Huangdongman", "Nong Dongman" or "Dongman", "Donggang" and so on.

After the Song Dynasty, there were new changes in the Zhuang ethnic name, and there were titles such as "collision", "cloth soil", and "native people".

After the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was insulted and translated as "buckwheat", and there were also self-proclaimed Zhuang, Nong, Lang, Tu, Sha, etc.

Originally, these titles had a certain regionality, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the title of "Zhuang" was widely seen throughout Guangxi and western Guangdong, and became the most common ethnic name of the Zhuang people.

In 1952, it was uniformly called "僮" (Yinzhuang).

In 1965, it was rewritten as "Zhuang".

The Zhuang nationality originated from the Xiou and Luoyue living in the Lingnan region recorded in the Han historical books of the pre-Qin, Qin and Han dynasties, and has Zhuang nationality distribution in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, mainly living in the south, ranging from Lianshan Zhuang Yao Autonomous County in Guangdong Province in the east, to Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province in the west, to Congjiang County in Guizhou Province in the north, and to Beibu Gulf in the south. Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is the main distribution area of the Zhuang nationality. <

Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is the main distribution area of the Zhuang nationality.

In the pre-Qin period, from the south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the southeast coastal area of China, there was a widely distributed ethnic group called "Baiyue", which was distributed in the area of present-day Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Xiou and Luoyue were part of it, and they were still in the development stage of clan and tribal society at that time. In 221 B.C., after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he sent Wei Tu Sui to lead an army of 500,000 troops, divided into five routes, and marched to Lingnan. By 214 BC, Qin Shi Huang sent Shi Lu to lead his troops to open the Ling Canal, pay for food, and transport troops, and the Qin army defeated the Xiou people, unified the Lingnan region, and set up Guilin, Nanhai, and Xiang counties in Lingnan, and officially included the region under the rule of the ** Dynasty.

Originating from the aborigines of Lingnan, the Zhuang people are the second largest ethnic group in China, mainly distributed in the western and northern parts of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the southeastern part of Yunnan Province, Guangdong Province and other regions.
