The ancient Hu people were a great threat to the Han people. Why don t you cut the grass and eradica

First of all, the ancient Han people and the Hu people will have a conflict Fundamentally because of the conflict between the two economic forms The Han people are an agricultural civilization The Hu people are a nomadic civilization Originally, these two economic forms have their own advantages But they do need to communicate with each other But the Han people at that time had the orthodox concept of Central Plains and China, and despised Yidi, so the normal ** exchange is not possible, the nomads had to take war means for their own survival, and the war was a continuation of politics, and the nomads at that time, Acquiring the wealth of the agricultural civilization of the Central Plains to maintain its own survival is the biggest politics, so the conflict between Han and Hu is inevitable. Secondly, why didn't the Han completely eliminate the Hu people? This is mainly due to the fact that some nomadic peoples have become part of the Han nation after integration, such as the Wuhu in the Wei and Jin dynasties Second, they stayed away from Middle-earth, for example, the Xiongnu went to Central Asia and West Asia after the attack of the Han Dynasty, and third, war was only a political means, and blind ethnic cleansing would only cause greater hatred among the Hu people, and Middle-earth would be even more unpeaceful. Fourth, the rulers of the Central Plains adopted a policy of softness towards ethnic minorities in order to show their Huairou all over the world, for example, Tang Taizong was honored by ethnic minorities as "Tian Khan" because of a series of tolerant and moderate ethnic policiesSecondly, the Han people have adapted to agricultural civilization, and the grassland is not very suitable for farming, so it is inconvenient for large-scale immigration to farm, except for a few tun cultivators and border guards.

It takes that ability to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and it wasn't until the machine gun appeared that civilization had the strength to overwhelm the barbarians.

1. Strength does not allow.

2. Because of the ancient idea of governing the country with Confucianism, it was impossible to do such a brutal thing. Because Confucianism advocates "harmony" and "benevolence".

The Han people are good at farming, while the grasslands in the northwest are arid, and they can't settle in the land and can't immigrate, and the Central Plains Dynasty is at a disadvantage in the war against the northwest for most of the time, and it can't guarantee the safety of immigrants.

Neither side has an absolute advantage, and if there is no overwhelming side, it can only compromise with each other.

In the pre-Qin period, the Han people generally called the nomads north of the Great Wall as "Hu people", Hu people specifically refer to the Huns, after the Huns, Hu can refer to all the ethnic minorities who are active in China's Saibei, Kandong, and Western Regions, and there are originally some such as barbarians or something, and later the Hu people are probably used as a general term. Foreigners are not from that time, it should be more recently, China is a mainland country, and foreigners should refer to people who come by boat across the ocean.

In ancient China, the Han people used the name of an alien race in addition to the Han people, and at the same time translated the Hu character as a barbaric meaning, expressing disdain for them, and discriminating against and rejecting them, which is actually a wrong understanding. In ancient China, the Han people usually referred to the nomadic people in northern China and the west, mainly including the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Di, Qiang, Tubo, Turkic, Mongolian, Khitan, Jurchen and other tribes, referring to them as uncivilized and uncivilized people. To the south, it is generally called barbarian.

For the name of the country, it is called Fanbang. Westerners are mostly referred to as Westerners in the inherent concept of Chinese, and Westerners are the collective name of whites in Europe and America and blacks in Africa, also known as devils because of their red hair and blue eyes. Oriental people, Dongying people, refers to the Japanese, but with the Japanese as a contemptuous name, the Ming and Qing dynasties were rampant Japanese people.

"Hu" was originally the self-name of the Xiongnu people, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu said in a letter to the emperor of the Han Dynasty that "there is a great Han in the south and a strong Hu in the north." Hu, the pride of the sky. After the Qin and Han dynasties, the Han people generally used "Hu" to refer to the ethnic minorities in the northwest and north, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, "Hu" mainly referred to the indigenous Indo-Europeans (descendants of the ancient Aryans) who were different from the Turks in the Western Regions.

An Lushan's father may have been a native of the Western Regions with the surname Kang Hu (Kang is now Samarkand, Uzbekistan), and his mother, Ashde, was a Turkic witch. According to legend, his mother did not give birth for many years, so she went to pray for the mountain (the Turks respected the mountain as the god of battle), and then gave birth to a child on the first day of the first month of the third year of Chang'an (703), so it was called the mountain. His father died young, and he grew up living with his mother in a Turkic tribe.

Later, his mother remarried An Yanyan, the brother of the Turkic general An Bozhu. In the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, his clan was broken and scattered, he fled from the Turks with An Xiaojie, the son of General An Daomai, and An Sishun and An Wenzhen, the sons of An Bozhu, and then became brothers with An Sishun and others, and since then he has assumed the surname An and the name Lushan. "An" is not a Turkic surname, its source is An in the Western Regions (now Bukhara, Uzbekistan), so no matter whether An Lushan's original surname is Kang or An, he is a mixed race of Hu and Turkic people in the Western Regions.
