How did the Bai originate? Why is the Bai called the Bai Nationality? What is its origin?

1.The origin and formation of the Bai people. The Bai are an ethnic minority with a long history.

The Han and Jin dynasties were the direct ancestors of the Bai people, and the Bai people of the Tang and Song dynasties were their predecessors. Bai Man not only participated in the Nanzhao regime in the Tang Dynasty, but also personally established the feudal serfdom state of Dali as the main body. The Tang and Song dynasties were an important period for the formation of the Bai nationality.

During this period, the Bai nationality communicated with the Central Plains and had close contacts, and was influenced by the Han nationality in many aspects, which promoted the development of its own nationality and assimilated some of the migrated Han people.

2.The historical evolution of the geographical distribution of the Bai people. At present, the geographical distribution of the Bai nationality in China is relatively concentrated, more than 80% of them live in the Dali area of Yunnan Province, which is located on the shore of the Erhai Sea and the Jinsha River runs through the east and west, and nearly 20% of the Bai nationality are scattered in Xichang, Sichuan, and Bijie, Guizhou.

This is a distribution method in which large concentrations and small concentrations coexist.

As the largest concentration of the Bai nationality, Dali is not only because the Erhai area is the birthplace of the Bai nationality, but more importantly, it has had a close relationship with the mainland for a long time, basically maintaining a relatively stable society, relatively developed economy, and a peaceful environment for the people. During the Western Han Dynasty, Yeyu, Yunnan, Bisu, Tang and other counties were established here, which were under the jurisdiction of Yizhou County, and a large number of Han people were also relocated here, bringing advanced production technology and iron tools, and promoting the economic development of the Erhai region. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Erhai area was changed to Yongchang County.

During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang conquered Yunnan and set up Yunnan County in the Erhai region. The Tang Dynasty first set up the Yaozhou Governor's Mansion here, and later supported the local government of Nanzhao. Dali also got along well with the Song Dynasty and the mainland.

The Yuan Dynasty established a province in Yunnan and set up Dali Road and Heqing Road in Dali. The Ming Dynasty implemented the policy of "changing the land and returning to the stream" in the Erhai area of Dali, abolishing the hereditary local officials and assigning them to govern the "liuguan", and basically maintained the continuity of administrative divisions and institutions in the Erhai area for a long time, thus maintaining the integrity of regional relations and the relative stability of social and political economy.

1. The Bai nationality is the 15th largest ethnic minority in China, mainly distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and other provinces, among which Yunnan Province has the largest Bai population, mainly living in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. In addition, it is also distributed in Sichuan Province, Chongqing City and other places.

2. The Bai nationality has its own national language, and the Bai language belongs to the Yi branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Chinese has been used by the Bai people since ancient times. The Bai nationality is unique in art, and its architecture, sculpture and painting art are famous in ancient and modern times.

In the process of formation and development, it has interacted with various ethnic groups in the surrounding areas and created a splendid economy and culture.

3. The Bai nationality is an ethnic group with a high degree of settlement, with three major branches: Minjia, Lemo and Nama, and is deeply influenced by Han culture.

4. The Bai people call themselves "Baizi", "Baini", and "Baihu", which means "white" in Chinese. There are more than 60 kinds of Bai people who are called by these ethnic groups, including "Minjia", "Nama", "Lemo" and so on, and the Bai people living in Dali, Kunming and other places and Sangzhi in Hunan Province are called "Minjia" in Chinese; The Bai people living in Lijiang, Diqing, and Nujiang are called "Nama" in Naxi language and "Lemo" in Lisu language; Tibetan calls it "Lebo", Yi language calls it "Lou Bu", "Luo Ben", "Luo Jipo", Guizhou Bai people have "seven surnames", "nine surnames", "Luo Tho", "Longjiang people", "Nanjing people" and other different names. The Bai nationality in Weining, Guizhou, is known as the "Seven Surname People" because of its seven surnames.

5. According to the literature, the ancestors of the Bai nationality were the indigenous Kunming people and the Heman people around Erhai Lake, the Di people and the Qiang people who went south to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, as well as some of the Su, Shan, Fu, Yu, Ailao, Dian and Han people. Before the Yuan Dynasty, some of the ancestors of the Bai nationality, some of the ancestors of the Yi nationality, and some of the ancestors of the Dai nationality were called "Baiman", "Wuman", "Shangyi", "Xiayi", "Baiyi", "Yiyi" and other titles with "barbarian" and "Yi"; After the Yuan Dynasty, people with cultural attributes closer to the Han nationality were recognized as an ethnic group and called "whites". "White" is the earliest unified ethnic name of the ancestors of the Bai nationality today, and it is called "Minjia" after the Ming and Qing dynasties.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in November 1956, according to the wishes of the Bai people, it was officially determined that "Bai" would be the unified ethnic name.

Bai ethnic group Han called "Dian Yu", "Kunming Man", Tang Dynasty called "Bai Man", "Xi Plan", "Bai Plan" or "Erhe Man", "Xia Yi", Yuan Dynasty called "Bai Man" or "Yu Ren", "Minjia", etc., Naxi people called "Nama". The Lisu people call it "Lemo". According to preliminary statistics, there are more than 60 kinds of names for the Bai nationality by other ethnic groups.

The Bai nationality has a total population of 10,000 people (1990), of which 1.34 million are in Yunnan, and more than 80% live in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. According to the Fifth National Population Census in 2000, the Bai population was 1,858,063. Historically, it was widely distributed in the whole province of Yunnan, southern Sichuan and western Guizhou, and most of them now live in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture.

Lijiang, Lanping, Baoshan, Nanhua, Yuanjiang, Kunming, Anning and other places, as well as Sangzhi in Hunan, Bijie in Guizhou, Xichang and Liangshan in Sichuan. The Bai nationality has a long history and rich and colorful culture, and in ancient times, it had a deep study of the calendar (the Bai nationality has an ancient October calendar) and religious beliefs (the main and Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism), and formed its own food and clothing culture in the perennial development, and the economy has also been developed. The people call themselves "servants", "servants", "baini", and "baigang", which means servants or whites.

The Bai nationality is an ethnic minority with a long history and splendid culture in the southwestern frontier of China. It is mainly distributed in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province, Lijiang, Baoshan, Nanhua, Yuanjiang, Kunming, Anning and other places, and Bijie in Guizhou, Liangshan in Sichuan, Sangzhi County in Hunan and other places. According to the statistics of the fifth national census in 2000, the population of the Bai nationality was 1858063

The history of the Bai nationality can be traced back to the end of the Yin Shang dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. According to archaeological excavations, the ancient residents living in the Dali area at that time had been engaged in primitive agricultural production, fishing, hunting with polished stone axes, stone knives, bone and horn tools, and could fire stoneware. Around the 2nd century BC, many scattered clans and tribes lived here, collectively called"Kunming", they are one of the ancestors of the Bai nationality today.

There are many titles for the names of the Bai people, and their ancestors are known in history"Yunnan"、"Suh"、"Planing"、"White barbarian"、"Whites"、"Folk houses"Wait. The Naxi people call it"That horse", the Lisu people call it"Lemo".The people call themselves"Servants"、"Son"、"Whiteny"、"White guys", which means servant or white.

In the early days of liberation, the titles of the Bai people were very confusing

I think the preconceived answer based on his claim is too far-fetched, and the title ** in the literature must also have a basis, but now it can be seen that it is no longer testable, but from the perspective of our Bai nationality, our own ethnic name is "white" in our language, which also means white, and is different from the transliteration of some ethnic names**. We call ourselves "ber huo (ber is white, huo is home, and the meaning of people also refers to people with commonality)" and "ber ni (white)" I don't know if we really advocate white (because we like dark tones over there and still black coordinates in the mountains Bai Settlement Dali Yunlong), but our name does coincide with our self-profes, I feel very wonderful. Many other ethnic groups are really just transliterations of Han Chinese expressions.

Why is it the Bai people, because the words spoken by the Bai people are vernacular, and what is the vernacular is that there is no writing.

The Bai people are not human genes, yin people. The royal family of the White Dynasty was the orthodox Bai Hua clan.
