Why is it called Han nationality, and why is it called Han nationality

It may be because the Han Dynasty was the longest in history.

The Han people, formerly known as the Han people, were named after the Han Dynasty in China.

The Han nationality was originally called "Huaxia" and was originally called the inhabitants of the Central Plains of Xunchang file, and then gradually assimilated and integrated with other ethnic groups, and began to be called the Han nationality in the Han Dynasty. The Han nationality is the main ethnic group in China, and is the descendant of the Yellow Emperor and the Yandi tribe in ancient times, and the descendants of Yan and Huang. The Han people are also a nation with a long history that has not been interrupted in history, and it is also the largest ethnic group in the world.

Because. The Han Dynasty was very powerful and influential at that time.

The surrounding countries and nationalities called the ordinary people of the Han Dynasty "Han people" as soon as they shouted

Just like Americans today, whether white or black.

As long as people have American nationality, they are called "Americans".

The people of the Han Dynasty were in such a situation.

It was called "Han people" by later dynasties, and he was proud to be a Han person.

So. In time.

As long as it is a person who can speak Chinese and wear Hanfu.

And they also have to look like they are from their own country.

will be called Han by foreigners.

After the founding of New China.

In order to buy foreign talents, the imperial court officially regarded the "Han nationality" as a nation.

The term "Han Chinese" originated from a dynasty in Chinese history – the Han Dynasty. The Han nationality is the largest and most extensive ethnic group in the Chinese, which is characterized by the use of Chinese as the mother tongue or guess, and the traditional Chinese culture as the main cultural background. The Han nationality plays an important role in the history, culture, and economic development of China and the world.

Ancient legends also describe that the ancestors of the Han people experienced a long era of primitive commune system. Before the Yellow Emperor, it passed through the stage of matrilineal clans and tribes that "knew the mother but did not know the father"; The legend of the Yellow Emperor marks the transformation from a matrilineal clan tribe to a patrilineal clan tribe and has entered the stage of tribal alliance. Legend has it that after the Yellow Emperor, Yao, Shun, and Yu, who were successively the leaders of the Great Tribal Alliance, were considered to be the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, but historical legends also show that the ancient ancestors of the Han nationality actually included people from the Qiang, Yi, Miao, Li and other clans and tribal groups.

Therefore, there are descriptions of Yu Shun from Dongyi and Xia Yu from Qiang and Rong; There are also some legendary characters, according to different accounts, which can be interpreted as Yiqiang, Yiyi, and Yimiaoli. This paradoxical phenomenon of historical legends reflects the historical process of different clan and tribal groups gradually merging into the same clan and creating a common ancestor.

The Han nationality was originally called "Huaxia" as the inhabitants of the Central Plains, and then gradually assimilated and integrated with other ethnic groups, and began to be called the Han nationality in the Han Dynasty.

Han nationality is the main ethnic group in China, is the descendants of the Yellow Emperor and Yandi tribe in ancient times, the descendants of Yan and Huang, Chinese belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family of the Chinese family, there are seven major dialects, modern Chinese is based on the northern dialect, Beijing pronunciation is the standard sound.

Chinese characters are one of the oldest languages in the world, with a history of about 6,000 years, gradually evolved from oracle bone inscription and golden script to today's square characters, with a total of more than 40,000 words, and about 7,000 words are commonly used, and it is now one of the international common languages. Since the fifties, China has carried out a systematic reform of the Chinese language, formulated the "Hanyu Pinyin Scheme", promoted Putonghua, and simplified Chinese characters.

Historical records

The Han nationality is the main ethnic group in China, with a population of about 1.2 billion by the end of the 20th century, making it the largest Chinese population and the most populous ethnic group in the world. Han nationality is mainly distributed in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Singapore, as well as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries and regions.

In the Han Dynasty, the Huaxia and the surrounding ethnic minorities merged into a new nation, this ethnic group did not have a major evolution but annexed and merged some small ethnic groups, the Han Dynasty was the era of the formation of the Han nationality, so the name of the country was the name of the clan. This is a dynasty worthy of the pride of our nation, and the other dynasty is the Tang Dynasty, so the "Han and Tang Dynasties" are used to refer to the strong period of the Han nationality, calling themselves "Han people" and "Han people", while overseas Chinese call themselves "Tang people", the reason is the same.
