Can you give me a detailed introduction to the Yue people, who have been classified into the Han nat

Thank you. Mukdengge's answer is helpful, deik2004 is too simplistic.

But thank you all for your answers.

The Yue people are an ancient ethnic group living in the southern region of China during the pre-Qin period. At that time, the Chinese generally called the barbarians in the southeast "Yue" and the barbarians in the north "Hu". The more is Guangdong, and in ancient times, "Yue" and "Yue" were used interchangeably.

Baiyue is a name that only existed in the Warring States Period, and it is a general name for the different ethnic groups of the ancient Yue people, also known as Zhuyue. The hundred of a hundred refers to many, not a definite number. In ancient times, this was a general word, and the Yue people were widely distributed in the south of our country, so Baiyue was often used to refer to the vast southern region.

The Yue people are a very ancient ethnic group, according to the current archaeological evidence, 7,000 years ago in Zhejiang, the "Hemudu culture" is likely to be created by the ancient Yue people. It is likely that the Hemudu people were the first people to grow rice in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and many cultural relics with geometric imprinted pottery as the main feature were also created by the ancient Yue people.

The ancient Yue people had exchanges with the Central Plains people very early, and their early relationship with the Han people was mainly in the ** and tribute, and the Yue people often exchanged the silk silk and various production tools of the Central Plains countries with special products such as ivory, rhino horn, eggplant and fragrant wood. During the Xia Dynasty, it was called "Yu Yue", and many of the tributes of the Xia Dynasty recorded in the "Historical Records" came from the Yue region. The Shang Dynasty called it "Manyue" or "Nanyue", and Prime Minister Yi Yin ordered Nanyue to pay tribute to the Shang Dynasty on time.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, "Yue" not only referred to "Nalu Yue Country", but also a general term for the southern ethnic groups.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yue people established their own state in the south, the Yue Kingdom. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, King Goujian of Yue practiced lying on his back and tasting courage, ten years of life and gathering, ten years of lessons, and finally destroyed the Wu State. After that, Gou Jian expanded northward, along the coast of Jiangsu to the north to Jiaozhou Bay, and the Central Plains countries at that time allied with the Jianghuai River, becoming the last overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Yue also became one of the powerful countries.

The Yue people are a minority group, and after King Chu Wei defeated King Wu Frontier of Yue, the Yue people began to "obey Chu" and became part of the Chu State.

After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, the Yue people were mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Fujian, and the Yue people at that time did not have the formation of a country, only tribes or tribal alliances, and there were many ethnic groups, and it was customary to call them "Baiyue".

The Yue people living in Guangdong and Guangxi are called "Nanyue" and "Xiou", and those in Fujian are called "Minyue". South Vietnam takes Panyu as the activity center, and Xiou takes Guixian County, Guangxi as the activity center.

The Nanyue people are an ancient ethnic group with strong cultural characteristics. It is not the same ethnic group, living in Lingnan, mainly distributed in the Pearl River Basin and the Hanjiang River Basin. With the continuous large-scale southward migration of the Central Plains people, the Nanyue and Central Plains people of the aboriginal people lived together for a long time, and later most of the aboriginal residents and the Central Plains people merged with each other to form the Han people.

The rest of the indigenous inhabitants gradually evolved into other different ethnic groups such as Li, Zhuang, Yao, She, and Miao in the long history, living in mountainous areas and distributed in what is now Guangxi, Hainan, Guangdong, Yunnan and other places in China. Other indigenous people migrated south, and later evolved into different ethnic groups, such as the Kinh people in Vietnam.
