    The biggest tactic of the nomads is to move, they have no fixed place to live, while the other ethnic groups in China are more or less settled and are not good at riding and shooting. Nomads, men, women, and children are basically able to ride and shoot.

    Nomads are able to move frequently because they don't have an exact place of residence in the first place, and they can harass the Chinese people for a short time and then move away.

    Nomads, they are an immediate people, and they are good at surprise attacks. Whenever there was a grain harvest failure, or when there was a bumper grain harvest in the Central Plains, they would come to harass the border passes to grab things, and they would leave after grabbing them, and this kind of guerrilla tactics harassed the Chinese nation for more than 2,000 years.

    Summary. Dear, glad to answer for you! The relationship between nomadic culture and the Chinese people:

    The Han people and the nomads are actually brothers born of the same mother, and they are two sides of the same body. The land of China first gave birth to the world's most powerful farming people, and then gave birth to the world's most powerful nomadic people, through which the advanced culture created by the Chinese nation was brought to the West.

    Dear, glad to answer for you! The relationship between nomadic culture and the Chinese nation: The Han people and the nomads are actually brothers born of the same mother, and they are two sides of the same body.

    The land of China first gave birth to the world's most powerful farming people, and then produced the world's most powerful clan nomads, through which the advanced culture created by the Chinese nation was brought to the West.

    By the time of the Qing Dynasty, both the nomads and the Han people were conquered by the Qing Dynasty and became a family.

    From 221 BC to the 15th century when Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries to the advent of the Age of Discovery, East Asia moved westward to many nomadic peoples, infiltrated and eliminated to promote the development of the West, and finally Western Europe rose back to the East with a higher scientific and technological culture, opened the door to the Eastern countries, and objectively promoted the development of the Eastern countries while invading. What is happening now is that China is rising again, and the goods made in China are all over the world, and China's development will inevitably change the entire Eurasian continent again.

    Most of the nomads fought on horseback, and as long as they found a way to restrain themselves, they did not need to be afraid.

    The nomads have no fixed residence, but the Chinese people are constantly developing their economy and their strength is not worse than them.

    The population of the nomadic people is relatively small, and the economic strength is not as good as that of the Huaxia people, which is determined by economic strength.

    Nomadism is a very broad concept, the most famous nomads are the Xiongnu and Mongolians, as well as the Turkic, Rouran ......However, ethnic groups such as Xianbei and Jurchen should be regarded as fishing and hunting peoples in the early days, and later there were also nomadic and sedentary peoples, so it is difficult to distinguish them.

    If it is directly said that China conquered non-China, or the other way around, it is very clear, in the long run, China conquered non-China. Conquest, in other words, is actually assimilation. The vast majority of the nomadic peoples who were very famous in ancient times are gone, and even if they do, their culture is very weak.

    Huaxia is a cultural China, a non-racial China, and anyone who uses our culture and has a cultural identity with China, no matter what race it is, can finally be classified as Huaxia. From this point of view, Huaxia is an ever-expanding concept, and the expansion of Huaxia is the result of the continuous annexation of other peoples. Therefore, although it is ethnic integration, there is still a Juche nation, and in China, the Juche ethnic group is the Han nationality, and there is no doubt about this.

    In the process of continuous expansion, China has been influenced by many other ethnic groups, which of course cannot be ignored. National integration is not only the fusion of blood and fire, but also the silent integration of moisturizing things, and the final state is still dominated by China.

    It should be a fusion of both sides, and there is a place for learning from each other.

    Of course, it was the Chinese who conquered the nomadic people. Military nomadic tribes were basically wiped out, such as the Xiongnu. Culturally invading nomadic peoples were largely assimilated, such as the Mongols. From any point of view, Huaxia won.

    It doesn't matter who conquers whom, let alone civilization and the like, and we don't even know what pure Chinese civilization should look like, the process of history is that civilizations are constantly being fused and new civilizations are ......Or this is all Chinese civilization, I think this is a self-deceptive statement, the modern people's statement, the beneficiary's statement, and by no means the ...... of the ideas of those ancestors in the process of integration

    Poor military force does not only refer to the Warring States Period, when a vassal state vigorously developed its military strength in order to survive, but also refers to the threat of border ethnic minorities in ancient Chinese dynasties, so why did the border ethnic minorities be reckless? In fact, this is similar to the activity of snakes, which are actually inherently weak in nature, and in order to adapt to survival, they can only abandon the upper limbs of the body and strengthen the bite force and venom of the head.

    If the snake is taken the lead, then the species will not escape the situation of death, and therefore, the snake will often strike first, and the border countries of the ancient Central Plains Dynasty, the comprehensive strength is actually very weak, but their neighbors are the Central Plains Dynasty with extremely terrifying comprehensive strength and potential strength, if the Central Plains Dynasty is left alone, each develops its own, then the final result is that the weak side is destroyed.

    The surrounding nation-states repeatedly harassed the Central Plains Dynasty.

    Therefore, the northern peoples, Western peoples, and southern peoples around the Central Plains Dynasty will continue to harass the Central Plains Dynasty, which is to take the initiative to prevent the Central Plains Dynasty from becoming strong; They not only brought great threats to the security and development of the Central Plains Dynasty, but also entered the Central Plains many times, such as the Xianbei during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Shatuo during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Xixia Dangxiang during the Two Song Dynasty, the Khitan in the Liao State, the Jurchen in the Jin State, and the Mongols who established the Yuan Empire, the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty, and so on.

    And the price of doing so is that the border countries invest all the resources of the country in military construction and concentrate on the development of military forces, especially the nomads in the north, almost all of them are soldiers in wartime, and they become herdsmen in leisure time; As a result, the national economy is very fragile. In this article, I will analyze the combat effectiveness and military origins of the ancient border countries.

    Northern peoples (nomads).

    The northern ethnic groups are basically ethnic minorities such as the Xiongnu, Turkic, Mongolian, and Jurchen, and the northern areas mainly include today's Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia and Jilin Heilongjiang region, these areas belong to the cold zone, crops are not suitable for growing here, and only a few types of crops can grow here, but the grassland resources here are abundant, and the water resources are also very rich, and it is a natural pasture.

    Therefore, the national economy and livelihood of the ethnic groups in the north depend only on grassland grazing, and animal husbandry is the pillar of their economy; However, due to the cold season in the north and the lack of development of animal husbandry technology in ancient times, this led to some tribes often raising a large number of cattle and sheep in spring, and a large group of people could freeze to death in winter, and the grass in the north withered in autumn, and if the grass began to hoard forage at the end of summer, it could only barely survive the cold winter, which was also the pain of the people of the north.
