It is a large ethnic group with a population of tens of millions, but in less than a hundred years,

This people are the Indians, because of their large population, conflicts for various reasons, the races began to kill each other, and later the British colonization of them caused their population to plummet.

This people are the Native American Indians, who were very friendly when the British moved to North America, and as more and more white people moved to the Indians, their attitude towards the Indians deteriorated, which laid the groundwork for the extermination of the Indians.

In the vast land of our great motherland, there are 56 ethnic groups living together, forming a unified and harmonious big family of the Chinese nation, among which the most populous ethnic minority is the Zhuang nationality.

After 1949, after in-depth investigation and ethnic identification, the people in Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan and other places called themselves "Buzhuang", "Butu", "Bunong", "Butai", "Buban", "Bulong", "Bunuo", "Buyi", "Bumin", "Buyue", "Buliao", "Buyayi", "Buman" and other places as the people.

The meaning of the word "僮" is not clear enough, and it is easy to mispronounce it.

In 1965, in accordance with the initiative of Prime Minister ***, the "Gu" was changed to "Zhuang", and the "Gu" was changed to "Zhuang".

Among China's ethnic minorities, the Zhuang nationality with a population of more than 10 million is the Zhuang nationality.

The proportion of ethnic minorities in the population has risen, and ethnic minorities are divided according to the country, and with the gradual development of time, they continue to form

1. The origin of our country since ancient times, and the ethnic minorities that have been handed down from ancient times to the present. It's just that after the founding of New China, according to the division of the country, they were uniformly called ethnic minorities.

2. There are also some foreign countries who are gradually moving in. As the long process of the formation of Chinese culture, there are some foreign ethnic migrations, forming this part of the ethnic population.

3. The country's attention has been increased. As an ethnic minority population, in order to better promote their development, the state has provided many preferential policies for ethnic minorities, so that they have more advantages.

4. Strengthen the construction of local culture, better develop their exclusive culture and characteristics, and also establish exclusive local characteristics. <>

1. China's historical ethnic minorities from ancient times to the present are not unique to contemporary times, but we call them differently. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, for the sake of better definition, the unified name was ethnic minorities. Among them, the names of various ethnic groups have not changed, and their own characteristics have been retained.

In ancient times, China also gradually developed from regional to unification in the later period. In the very beginning of regional development, each region had its own characteristics. This is the predecessor of the nation, they have their own living habits, their own customs and characteristics.

In the later period, with the unification of the national territory, most of the customs were unified, and some of them were preserved by today's ethnic minorities. <>

2. There is also the migration of foreign countriesWhen ancient wars broke out, people had to move their families to escape the war. At this time, some foreign nationalities will begin to move into the domestic situation. Therefore, in some minority languages, it will also be the same as abroad, such as our Korean language.

This is not only due to foreign migration, but also due to the development of history. In general, many parties have converged to form today's ethnic minority groups.

Third, the state attaches great importance to China's attention to ethnic minorities has been increasing, from the previous college entrance examination bonus policy, to the current local economic preferential policies and so on. The purpose is to better promote their development, preserve the characteristics of the nationalities, form a bright future for the great reunification of the motherland, and leave behind the exclusive culture of the minority nationalities. In terms of local economic development, the state is also continuously increasing the infrastructure construction of ethnic minorities to promote the development of local economies.

4. Vigorously Advocate the Cultural Construction of Ethnic MinoritiesIn some areas where ethnic minorities gather, local festivals for ethnic minorities will also be set up so that they can better celebrate their own ethnic groups and publicize their cultural characteristics. Vigorously promote the local maintenance and inheritance of ethnic minority culture, better safeguard their national cultural characteristics, and let them have a greater sense of integration.

The ethnic minorities evolved from the previous Xiongnu people, and the population of these ethnic groups is very small, and their customs are very different from those of the Han people.

It's some people who have some of their own culture, and they have their own physical characteristics, so there will be differences.

Although the Zhuang nationality is a minority, there are many ethnic groups, and over time, they have such a huge population.

In 1965, it was proposed to change the name to the Zhuang nationality, one of the reasons why the population is so large is that it was called Xiou and Luo Yue in the Qin and Han dynasties, and later it was found in the historical books with the names of Pu, wing, slang, Xitong Man, Wuhu, etc., and it was called Bang, Gu, and Zhong in the Song Dynasty, and it was also called Guren, Liangren, and Turen in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Such an ethnic minority with a long history of culture, after tens of millions of years of multiplication, if it were not for the invasion of a more powerful Han culture, the Zhuang minority was assimilated, and it is estimated that its number is far more than it is today. Because the Zhuang people have been scattered for a long time under the notice of large and small Tusi, they rarely participate in the ** regime and change of dynasty, so their name is not well-known.

Zhuang, Buzhuang, originally the Zhuang people's self-proclaimed, translated in the Chinese history books as "bump", "徸", etc., pronounced "Zhuang", first seen in the Song Dynasty literature, after the founding of New China unified as "僮".

In addition to calling themselves "Bu Zhuang", the Zhuang people also have self-proclaimed names such as "Bu Yue", "Bu Yayi", "Bu Yi", "Busha", "Bu Tu", "Bu Nong", "Buyang", "Buman", "Bu Rao", "Bu Dai" and so on. "Cloth" means "person" in Zhuang language.

In the field of science and technology, scientists of many ethnic minorities have made outstanding contributions to the development of the motherland. The "Perpetual Calendar" compiled by the Hui astronomer Zamaruddin in the Yuan Dynasty was promulgated throughout the country, and seven kinds of astronomical instruments such as armillary sphere, azimuth and inclinodolite were also made.

The "Summary of Agricultural Mulberry Clothing and Food" compiled by Lu Mingshan, a Uygur in the Yuan Dynasty, is the first systematic and complete agricultural almanac in the history of agricultural science in China, and is one of the three major agricultural books in the Yuan Dynasty. At the beginning of the 17th century, the Mongolian surgeon Melbourne and Zhuoerji wrote "Encyclopedia of Medicine" and "Pharmacy", which was known as the contemporary Huatuo by the world. The famous Yunnan Baiyao is a miraculous surgical hemostasis developed by the Yi doctor Qu Huanzhang based on the ancestral secret recipe.

In terms of history and literature, "The Secret History of Mongolia", "The History of Mongolia", and "The Origin of Mongolia", the three major historical works of the Mongolian people. The three heroic epics of the Tibetans, Mongolians, and Kyrgyz are "Gesar", "Jangar" and "Manas", which are treasures in the literary library. There are also many rich folk literature of ethnic minorities, such as the story of Liu Sanjie of the Zhuang nationality, Ashima of the Yi nationality, and Avanti of the Uygur nationality.

**, dance, painting, architecture, etc.: The musical instruments of the Western Regions have greatly enriched the ** of the Han nationality in the Central Plains, the Sainam of the Uygur people, and the Andai dance of the Mongolian people. The Tibetan people's sac horse, the Korean people's long encouragement, the Dai people's peacock dance, the Miao people's reed sheng dance, etc., are all famous in our country, the world-famous Dunhuang Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes, etc. are all created by the people of Han Xianbei, Tubo and the Western Regions.

The world-famous Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple are the artistic essence of Tibetan architecture. The Yuan Dynasty Hui architect Yi Hei Dieer Ding designed and led the construction of the Dadu Project, which laid the foundation for the development of Beijing City in the future.
