Where is the ancient Khitan now?

Khitan: A historical memory left for today's people.

Fuxin is the hometown of the Khitan people, which has long been recognized by historians. Since the beginning of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Khitan people have been active in Fuxin. Liao was founded in 907, the country name Khitan, the founding year name in 916, the country name was changed to Liao in 938 (one said 947), the name was renamed Khitan in 983, and it was still called Liao in 1066.

From the founding of the Great Liao by Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, throughout the Liao Dynasty, the Khitan rulers regarded Fuxin as its "hinterland". According to research, there are 9 Touxia Prefectures in the territory of Fuxin today, which belong to Suizhou, Shunzhou, Haozhou, and Huanzhou in the early Liao period, Huizhou, Chengzhou, and Hengzhou in the middle period, and Luzhou in another era that is not very clear. At that time, the population of these nine Touxia Prefectures was more than 190,000, and if the military population was added, it could reach more than 200,000 people, of which 10 were Khitans.

After the death of Liao, where are these Khitan ** in Fuxin? How many Khitan ** Xiang Fuxin from other places are there, and which ethnic groups are they melting in?

At present, the discovery of the Khitan descendants evidenced by this genealogy of Fuxin provides a real context for exploring the mystery of the disappearance of the Khitan. Perhaps, in the near future, the disappearing national Khitan will bring more surprises to people.

Khitan: A historical memory left for today's people.

The territory of the early Khitan Kingdom included most of the three modern eastern provinces and the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, including Sakhalin Island in its heyday, not reaching the Shilka River basin in the hinterland of Mongolia, reaching the Altai Mountains in the west, and expanding to the Haihe River in Tianjin, Baxian in Hebei, and Yanmen in Shanxi. It is equivalent to the whole territory of Northeast China, the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, the northern part of Hebei, the whole of Mongolia and the Far East part of Russia.

The Khitan is equivalent to the current Xinjiang, and the Khitan is an ethnic minority who lives in a remote area, which is the current Xinjiang region.

The Khitan capital is Linhuang Mansion, which is now Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. So it should belong to Inner Mongolia.

Khitan is now the three northeastern provinces, Beijing City, Tianjin City, Tangshan City, Qinhuangdao, Zhangjiakou in the north of Hebei Province, Langfang, part of Baoding, Datong in Shanxi, and at the same time the Russian Altai Territory, the Altai Republic, the Amur Region, the Chita Region, the Primorsky Territory, the Khabarov Territory and the southern part of the Republic of Buryatia; North Hamgyong Province and all of Lianggang Province and parts of South Hamgyong Province and Gangwon Province in North Korea are also Khitan spheres of influence.

Khitan's**The development of every ethnic group is formed in a specific historical environment and background, and the Khitan people originated from the nomadic people in the ancient regions of China. The word Khitan first appeared in the Book of Wei in the 4th century AD, during the Western Jin and Eastern Jin dynasties in China, when dynasties changed in the Central Plains, and in northern China, ethnic minorities were also fighting for interests and began to establish and consolidate their own political power. Among them, the Xianbei tribe, who was once called blind Li Chunba, was attacked by other tribes and had to transfer their tribal forces and fled to the ancient pine desert area.

Regarding the origin of the Khitan people, it has always been relevant, and there is also a beautiful myth and legend. Legend has it that a long time ago, the ancestors of the Khitan people rode a white horse on the grassland, and at this time, at the confluence of the Laoha River and the Xilamulun River, the ancestors of the Khitan tribe met a beautiful fairy, and the fairy fell in love with him at first sight and became husband and wife.

The status of the KhitanIn the long history of China, many people have been born, and some of them were established by one nation after another. For example, the dynasty of Mo Nailai was established by Liu Bang, and the Han nationality was derived; The Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty established by the Mongols; The Liao State was established by the Khitan tribe and disturbed. The former is the most important of the 56 ethnic groups, while the Yuan Dynasty and the Liao State are feudal dynasties established by ethnic minorities.
