What were the nomadic ethnic minorities in ancient times?

Nomadism refers to a way of life that was formed on the grasslands, and modern archaeological excavations have gradually proved that nomadism was born no earlier than 1000 BC.

Hun part. The Northern Xiongnu were wiped out by the Han Dynasty and the Southern Xiongnu during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Southern Xiongnu were attached to the Han Dynasty and gradually assimilated by other ethnic groups; The Qiang people were part of the Xiongnu (also said to be slaves of the Xiongnu) and disappeared in the 4th century AD.

Donghu part. Qin was destroyed by the Xiongnu, and then divided into two parts: Wuhuan and Xianbei, Wuhuan was eliminated by Cao Wei, Xianbei Tuoba entered the Central Plains to establish the Northern Dynasty, and then gradually Sinicized, and the rest evolved into Tuyuhun and Rouran; Rouran established a khanate, which was later defeated by the Turks, and the main body migrated westward, and the rest were divided into Murwei (Mongolia) and Khitan;

The Khitan established the Liao state, which was later assimilated by the Jurchens, and some of them were sinicized, and the rest fled west to Central Asia to establish the Western Liao, merged with the locals, and became part of the Central Asians; The Mongols built a vast empire with influence throughout Eurasia, and its main body has survived to this day, the modern Mongols.

Turkic part. It may be a branch of the Xiongnu, which was once under the command of Rouran, and later destroyed Rouran and established a state. The country was wiped out by the Uighurs and Han Chinese, and some migrated westward.

Uighur. Uighur.

The main body was composed of Ding Ling people, integrated with part of the Tiele and Gaoche people, and during the Tang Dynasty, the main Turkic body was destroyed. After that, the Uighur Khanate had good relations with the Tang Empire. After the decline of the Uighurs, they migrated to the surrounding areas, and during the Song Dynasty, they established the Huangtou Uighur tribe and the Gaochang kingdom in the Xinjiang region of Gansu Province, and later surrendered to the Western Xia and Western Liao, respectively.

Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Tatar, Qiang, Qian, etc.

There is no permanent fixed place to live, and the spring, summer, autumn and winter are nomadic with the change of pastures.

1.Living by water and grass.

2.Extensive grassland animal husbandry management methods.

3.Production is relatively backward.

Combat effectiveness is average.

4. Be good at singing and dancing.

5. Good riding skills.

But the deeper difference is the difference between observance and destruction! Agrarian peoples are not. This is not the case with nomads, who pay more attention to the purity of their bloodline and exclude other peoples.

There is a big difference, the farming life is stable, and the farming land is a living. Nomads live by herding. Migrate with the seasons.

The world's three major paleo-nomadic peoples are the Mongols (Altaic), Semites and Aryans.

1. The Mongolian nationality is a traditional nomadic people mainly distributed in East Asia, one of the ethnic minorities in China, and also the main ethnic group in Mongolia.

2. The concept of Semites comes from the ancient Hebrews' record of the origin of various races in the Bible, and all races that are culturally and linguistically close to them are considered to be the descendants of Shem.

3. The Aryans, who believed in the sun god, were symbolized by the radiant shape. The Aryans' ability to go about fighting had to do with their ability to raise and ride horses.

Nomadism does not refer to a specific people, but refers to a people whose main production and lifestyle is nomadism.

However, nomads are not indefinite, and from Chinese and foreign historical collections, nomads have hidden settlement bases. Background of the development of the originModern archaeological excavations have gradually proved that the birth of nomadism did not precede 1000 BC, and much later than the birth of agriculture.

Nomadism refers to an extensive grassland animal husbandry management mode that carries out nomadic grazing with the transfer of aquatic grasses throughout the year. Herdsmen have no fixed residence for a long time, live a life of chasing water and grass, their production equipment is quite simple, their management is very extensive, and they are basically in a backward state of relying on the sky to raise grass and livestock.

Characteristics of nomads

The nomadic people as the main production and lifestyle of the people, taking the Mongolian people as an example, in the residence, the Mongolian nomadic people's living room yurt. As early as the Xiongnu period has been invented and widely used, it is composed of a wooden skeleton and an outer covered felt piece, easy to dismantle, warm in winter and cool in summer, resistant to wind and snow, moving with the herd, extremely flexible, is a great creation to adapt to nomadic production and life.

In terms of living and eating, eat sheep, cow and horse meat, and drink sheep, cow and mare's milk. The invention of a variety of food products with unique nomadic characteristics has not only been passed down from generation to generation among nomads, but also has had an important impact on the food culture of the Central Plains. In terms of spiritual culture, the Mongolian people also have their own unique culture and art, and reflect their unique national style in many fields of dance, painting and literature.

1. The Mongolian people are known as nomadic peoples, mainly distributed in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the three northeastern provinces, Xinjiang, Hebei, and Qinghai, and the rest are scattered in Henan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Beijing, Yunnan and other places. The name Mongolia was earlier recorded in the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty and the Chronicles of the Khitan Kingdom, which means eternal fire. It is also known as the horseback people.

The Mongolian people originated in the Ergun River Basin, and are known as the Mongolian Vulwei and Mongolia in history.

2. Animal husbandry is the main economy on which the Mongolian people have relied for their survival and development for a long time. In addition, it is engaged in the processing industry, cultivation industry and industry. Mongolians are good at singing and dancing, and folk songs are divided into two types: long and short.

The main instrument is the horse-head fiddle. She loves wrestling. The yurt and the lele cart are companions in their nomadic life.
